Human
The Killers저 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was broad but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart

Cut the cord

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well

You got to let me go

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating?

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer

You got to let me know

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?





Are we human
Or are we dancer?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Human by The Killers talk about the existential question of whether we are truly human or just ‘dancers’. The singer is reflecting on their own experiences and confusion about life and identity. They mention being nervous about new opportunities and contemplating whether they should take the risk and ‘cut the cord’ to pursue them.


The following verses talk about paying respect to grace and virtue, giving regards to soul and romance, and bidding farewell to devotion. This suggests that the singer is someone who has experienced many things in life, even while feeling uncertain of their own identity. The final lines ask if our hearts are still beating, questioning whether we are truly alive or just going through the motions of life.


The lyrics are open to interpretation and can be interpreted as a reflection on society as a whole, urging people to question their identities and purpose in life. The combination of the existential lyrics and the upbeat melody creates an interesting contrast, capturing the idea of the singer being torn between different emotions.

I did my best to notice
I tried to be attentive


When the call came down the line
When someone reached out to me


Up to the platform of surrender
To the point where I gave up


I was broad but I was kind
I had an open mind and heart


And sometimes I get nervous
And sometimes I feel anxious


When I see an open door
When there is an opportunity


Close your eyes
Take a moment to reflect


Clear your heart
Let go of any negativity


Cut the cord
End the attachment


Are we human?
What does it mean to be human?


Or are we dancer?
Are we merely performing a role?


My sign is vital
I'm alive and important

I'm humbled

2 yrs of marriage and still a virgin? I turned it off. 🤨🤨🤨🙄🙄

@chunpei234

最爛的橋段是隱藏身分, 對方在暗也知道男主身分否則2年前不會派人暗殺,

@MichelleAlexandria-EM

Funny, the FL scheming "Best Friend" is the one who keeps getting kidnapped and endangering the ML, yet she has the gall to tell the FL she's dragging him down?

@SebastianNG1209
