Human
Sevdaliza Lyrics
I am, I have
I breathe in and out
I own a heart
An ear and an eye
I've only been here one time
It's passing me by
Been in and out
And in front of my judgmental eyes
Business so cold
Can't cope with my own
How to not fail
I am flesh, bones
I am skin, soul
I am human
Nothing more than human
I am sweat, flaws
I am veins, scars
I am human
Nothing more than human
I am human
I am human
Human
Human
Human
Human

Sevda Alizadeh (born 1 September 1987), known professionally as Sevdaliza, is an Iranian-Dutch singer and songwriter. Born in Iran and based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, she was originally a professional basketball player before embarking upon a music career. Her music has been described as a fusion of trip hop, experimental pop, and alternative R&B, while incorporating influences from various other sources.

Born in Iran and based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, she was originally a professional basketball player before embarking upon a music career. Her music has been described as a fusion of trip hop, experimental pop, and alternative R&B, while incorporating influences from various other sources.
Sevdaliza's visually sophisticated music videos caught the attention of many international blogs and magazines, with Complex nominating her video for "Sirens of the Caspian" as a top ten video of the year in 2014. This was succeeded by features with Vogue and Alexander Wang, while H&M made her a brand ambassador. Sevdaliza herself describes her music as "raw, strong, and vulnerable", while her stage persona is "everything (the audience) want(s) (her) to be".
Sevdaliza was born in Tehran, Iran in 1987, but moved to the Netherlands at a young age. She left home at 16 on a basketball scholarship and played as part of the Dutch national team. She continued with basketball and her studies, but chose to start making music when she was 24. Not trained to read music or play instruments, she taught herself how to sing and how to use Ableton, drawing on the reserve of discipline that drove her time in sports.
Her debut EP The Suspended Kid was released in January 2015. It was followed by a collaboration with Pussykrew which resulted in an elaborate music video for the album cut "That Other Girl". She was also featured on Paris-based producer Stwo's track "Haunted", providing vocals.
Children of Silk, her second EP, was self-released on November 24, 2015 on Twisted Elegance. It is characterized by a more conceptual approach and darker undertones of self-reflection. A music video for "Marilyn Monroe" was released in March 2016, directed by Hirad Sab, who also designed the cover artwork for the extended play. It received critical acclaim and was featured in various "best of" lists, including a year-end ranking by FACT magazine.
She co-directed and starred in a short film, called The Formula, which was released through Noisey. It features an original soundtrack by Sevdaliza and frequent collaborator Mucky.
Her debut full-length album, titled ISON, was released in April 2017. It includes 16 tracks, among which earlier releases such as "Marilyn Monroe" and "Amandine Insensible", as well as new songs. The album cover features an image of a hyperrealistic sculpture of Sevdaliza by artist Sarah Sitkin.

Nothing
I am, I have
I breathe in and out
I own a heart
An ear and an eye
I've only been here one time
It’s passing me by
Been in and out
And in front of my judgmental eyes
My precious disguise
Business so cold
Can’t cope with my own
How to not fail
I am flesh, bones
I am skin, soul
I am human
Nothing more than human
I am sweat, flaws
I am veins, scars
I am human
Nothing more than human
I am flesh, bones
I am skin, soul
I am human
Nothing more than human
I am human
I am human

EDIT: Holy hell, y'all. Thanks for all the likes!
I totally get the occult symbolism that so many are seeing in this video.
From my perspective, I was finding connections between the imagery and the lyrics. I hear the lyrics as though she's trying desperately to humanize herself to someone. Her saying over and over again that she's human, and listing all the aspects of what makes her alive: breathing, having a heart, bones, flesh, flaws, soul, and so on.
The imagery paired with the song itself, to me, tell a story of a woman who has been showcased by the elite. They don't see her as a person, but rather a commodity--a mystical creature. I'm almost reminded of a show horse because of the hooves, though a satyr would also make sense in regards to the supernatural elements of the video.
She's made to perform, seduce, but not given the same luxuries and pedestals as those watching her, thus she descends down dark, hidden staircases and dances on dirt. She's not the same--she's special, yet less. Intriguing, but separated. Sexy, yet untouchable. To the elite, something is off, but they can't stop paying, can't stop watching. They don't care to hear how she feels about it; it's almost like the lyrics are her inner thoughts, things she desires to say but has been silenced.
Anyway, those are just my two cents~ I love this video. Kind of has a Scorpio vibe. That deep, dark, weird water energy. I love it.

Nada
Eu sou, eu tenho
Eu inspiro e expiro
Eu possuo um coração
Uma orelha e um olho
Eu só estive aqui uma vez
Está passando por mim
Já esteve dentro e fora
E na frente dos meus olhos de julgamento
Meu disfarce precioso
Negócios tão frios
Não consigo lidar comigo mesma
Como não falhar
Eu sou carne, ossos
Eu sou pele, alma
Eu sou humano
Nada mais do que humano
Eu sou suor, falhas
Eu sou veias, cicatrizes
Eu sou humano
Nada mais do que humano
Eu sou carne, ossos
Eu sou pele, alma
Eu sou humano
Nada mais do que humano
Eu sou humano
Eu sou humano
