Homosapien
Simple Minds Lyrics

I'm the shy boy, you're the coy boy
I am reserved and introverted, while you are flirtatious and playful.

And you know I'm a Homosapien too
We are both Homo sapiens, belonging to the same human species.

I'm the cruiser, you're the loser
I am adventurous and confident, while you are defeated or vulnerable.

Just me and you sir, I'm a Homosapien too
We are the only ones present in this situation, and I am reasserting that I am also a Homo sapien.

Homosuperior in my interior
I possess a sense of superiority or uniqueness within my own mind.

But from the skin out, I'm a Homosapien too
Despite any inner thoughts or perceptions, I am biologically and physically the same as any other Homo sapien from the outside.

And I'm a Homosapien like you
I want to emphasize that we are both Homo sapiens, united by our common humanity.

And I think of your eyes in the dark
I am reminded of your eyes when it is dimly or completely dark around us.

And I see the star
As I focus in the darkness, I perceive a distant pinprick of light.

And I look to the light and I might Wonder right where you are
I use the light as a guide to search for you and question where exactly you are.

All the gods in the sky way up high
The deities or divine beings in the heavens above us.

See the earth spinning 'round
They can observe our planet rotating on its axis.

But the sun and the moon and the stars
Although the celestial bodies above can witness the earth's movement, they themselves are too distant to be affected by it.

Are so far from the ground
They remain far and distant from our physical reality on the earth's surface.

And the world's filled with rage on the stage
Many people in the world are consumed by anger and aggression, like actors performing a play.

Where we act out our lies
We often deceive or manipulate others as we go through life's motions and interactions.

And the word in the scripts seem to fit
The stories or expectations we follow seem to align or match our own narratives.

Except we have some surprise
However, there may be some unexpected or unexplained variations in our lives and experiences.

I just want this to last, all my future
I desire for our present moment to continue far into my coming days.

And past till they're gone
And also to extend from my memories of the past until they completely fade away.

And if this is the case then we'll
If this dream of extending our happy moment comes true,

Lose all trace from now on
we will forget everything else that happens from this point forward.

I don't wanna classify you
I do not want to label or put you in a specific category or box.

Like an animal in the zoo
I do not want to treat you with the same impersonal and detached manner as an animal on display at a zoo.

And it's good for me to know
It is important and reassuring for me to understand

That you're [incomprehensible] a Homosapien too
that you also belong to the same human species as I do.
