Whether it is dancer (which I think it is) or denser, doesn't change the fact that this is an absolutely terrific song! By the way it is my favorite song.
haha it definitely is not, he's said specifically in interviews that it's dancer, it was inspired by a hunter S thompson quote about how our society is turning into "dancers". It's singular because he is equating "dancer" with "human", i.e., it's a species. You don't say "are we humans?", the singular form can apply to everyone. So, again, by make "dancer" singular to he is equating the two. About club culture, I believe.
The EXACT words from the Killers official website.
Those familiar with the band's oeuvre will recognize their signature in the synth-heavy "Human," four minutes of sweeping, epic rock, on which Flowers sings: "My sign is vital/ My hands are cold/ And I'm on knees, looking for the answer/ Are we human, or are we dancer?" He says the lyrics were inspired by a disparaging comment made by Hunter S. Thompson about how America was raising a generation of dancers.
It is dancer,Flowers says so, in ref to Hunter S Thompston writtings & observations, & comment on a American society full of Dancers & kind rather than humans´´on my knees looking for the answer refers to the fact he took his on life.
I think he wanna say that if we have free will (human) or are we just playing a choreography ( dancer. you know i think he means about destiny and all that stuff). Remember this is just my opinion.
i thought so too biggles, but brandon says himself it's "dancer" based on a quote from hunter s. thompson that america is raising a generation of dancers... as to why it's dancer and not dancers, brandon says he can do what he wants
yes you've got it exactly correct...Brandon even said he's quite offended by the mishearing people have heard and if used as an adjective is grammatically correct
