umm its more a question of whether are destinies are predetermined, or if we are the ones who shape them...u did a horrible job explaining...please remove that comment lol
@radadara1 . Not the fact we are human and have some control, for good or ill, over our fate? Or, dancing to some mythical religious non entities tune then? Perhaps we are both on the same side in reality. I'm human... forget all the invented rubbish that ways humanity down. love light and peace p
we can be both if we chose but they are mostly one and the same like the body and the soul are one and the same so the choice is your to make but my answer is that we can be both and no one can change who or what you are in life and what you make of it as well.................That was deep >_<
All u people who think this song is not your taste or u dont like it plz stop writing these rude,stupid,fucking comments and ruining this song. Sorry 4 my bad language but it really made me mad the comments.
Lyrics were inspired by a disparaging comment made by Hunter S. Thompson, where he stated America was raising "a generation of dancers"
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Flowers said that he was irritated over the confusion about the lyrics and also that fans were unhappy with the song's dance beat: "It's supposed to be a dance song, [the beat] goes with the chorus...If you can't put that together, you're an idiot. I just don't get why there's a confusion about it."
Dancer = do you dance to the beating drum, basically dancer's are followers of tunes, get it? to those that were mentioning that denser would have made more sense :) thants my opinion anyway!
@happyorangeanimation Predestination is a religiously based concept (Calvinsim), and like so many of them, is just wrong. I was only trying to interpret what the lyrics may have meant, not that I agreed with them. You're not PRE-destined to kill yourself or do anything else. Your past, your habits, your environment etc, true enough, do effect your actions, but you can direct your 'destiny' by consciously changing those factors -- your psychology, who you associate with, etc. etc. .
This is beautiful. Just...an amazing song. It's literally my life song. I was taken away from everything I knew and was familiar with, was verbally and emotionally abused,bullied, teased, and have clinical depression, so bad I'm going into a mental hosptial (my mom's admitting me).
This song gives me hope that I'm not the only one out there shouting. Let's raise our voice, guys. Let's be heard.
@Boyhes actually it does make sense if it were DENSER! because if it were denser it would be like are we something deeper than human, but dancer doesnt make sense because dancers are humans!
Ive always though human means what we scientifically are..like a cats a feline..dogs a canine..A dancer has planed thought to there actions that an animal wouldn't have..with no instinctual motive...In that context dancer and denser would mean the same anyways.
Can anyone tell me if there´s any meaning in the chorus of the song: are we human or are we dancer?.... Me and my spanish friends would like to know. Thanks..
@TheGoclear I think he's saying are we just puppets in some giant plan with every single move already accounted for where there is no real rebellion or do we have our own free will and decide everything for ourselves.
@Watchmegethurt its more about, the choices we make, are we following a set plan for life (like dancers) or are we actually humans who live free lives.
Its not how long before robots become like us, but how long before we become like robots basically
@boksanns94 perhaps we hear such great song writing and then assume, rightly or wrongly, a commensurately high level of intellectual insight...so we search for a possible meaning
Great song! I don't know why, it reminds me the movie Saturday Night Fever. If that movie (or even Footloose) would have been made by this time, this song definitely would be included in its soundtrack. Just imagine it...
@horderulzforever no, not like that. i love the spontaneouty of dancing, your get to let out your emotions and you feel free, its an amazing feeling, i guess you wouldnt know XD but yeah.
@horderulzforever i know how its interpreted :) its saying dancers follow the steps dictated to them, etc.im just interpreting it my way, free country :P
so...incredibly...aw-...ama-...terif-...its..its......awemafic...this is like dancing around a public place doing the chicken dance in front of a kfc while wearing a t-shirt that says, poodles to the left. it so amazing, its indescribable.
correction...reached the billion mark around 1800, not 1900. get a load of this though from wiki... "It is estimated that the population of the world reached ... six billion in 1999. It is projected to reach seven billion in October 2011, and around eight billion by 2025–2030. By 2045–2050, the world's population is currently projected to reach around nine billion, with alternative scenarios ranging from 7.4 billion to 10.6 billion."
