The lyrics of Saga's "The Human Condition" express an ongoing struggle of individuals trying to escape the challenges of being human. The repetition of the phrase "Running from the human condition" emphasizes the intensity and desperation in the attempts to avoid this condition. The line refers to the various hardships and struggles that people face in their daily lives, ranging from personal struggles to the societal issues that plague them. The lyrics suggest that it may at times seem easier to run away from our problems than to confront them.
The lyrics address the idea of a universal human condition that all people experience, and yet the singer seems to feel overwhelmed by it. The repetition of the phrase highlights the inevitability of the human condition, suggesting that we cannot escape it, no matter how hard we try. Instead, the song emphasizes the importance of facing the struggle and fighting through it. By acknowledging our humanity, we can embrace the beauty and complexity of the human experience.

Perhaps their most beautiful yet haunting song ever. The layers of etheric and spiritual sounds are just too gorgeous to resist. It verges on being the most perfecty and beautifully arranged song in the history of all songs.
