The Killers - Human (Album Version)

[RSGreysky]

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."

[gaylefranklin]

"Are we human, or are we dance" is the the only words Hunter S. Thompson wrote in his suicide note. Tha's where Brandon and Stuart Price got the lyrics. The rest of the song is comprised of different passages and Thonpson's books.

By general rule, all modern music bands are dump! But there are some music bands that make the exception. The Killers is one of them!

[TheMusicBeastHD]

Only song I like from day and age album

[ParisILoveYou4ever]

one of the best songs EVER. agree ??

[TheRmcmufc]

im just gonna say this.. i dont think even brandon flowers knows what this means cos he just picked random words cos they sound good together.. who gives a shit if it dnt mean anythin.. if u have to find life guidance in the lyrics of songs ur fucked up enough as it so just enjoy this fantastic song

[k00lf00l1]

See I think he says " Are we human, or are we denser?" Meaning are we just the label human or are we denser as in do we have emotions and feelings that make us more then just human. Idk it's just a thought I had.

[CoastersForever]

@k00lf00l1 It's dancer. Brandon Flowers said so. Sorry.

[k00lf00l1]

@CoastersForever Whatevs, I don't mind, just gave my opinion

[captainkid1]

Thanks.

I fucking hate live versions.

[tranky2006]

The meaning is about this society of marionettes (puppets) we are living today .Thats the meaning of cut the coard.The original idea was extracted for one quote of the writer Hunter S.Thompson "We're raising a generation of dancers" ,

(sorry for my english)

Milú

i heard a brilliant version of this song in majorca last week but cant find it on here gutted :(

[PurpleUnicornn21]

i cant stop replaying it :o

[tfirme2]

In case you don't understand the meaning of the song or its place in the album, the song is about postmodernism. It's a sarcastic dance ballad that reminds us to hold on to our human emotions and relationships even as this postmodern world tries to rip us from those emotions and relationships we hold dear in our hearts. The album is about postmodernism and dealing with this day and age. Listen to this song and then "The World That We Live In" and you'll see some similarties in the messages.

@tfirme2 Ohhhh my, too many letters, cannot read. Just press *THUMBS UP* once again! lol

[shane72792]

@tfirme2 Very good that is one of the 3 ways my english takes it as. I take it as the one where he is calling "dancers" puppets. Which makes sense and is why has says Cut the Cord and All the Emotions that you will be getting rid of if we are Dancer( Puppets/Controlled) Pay my respects to grace and virtue Send my condolences to good

Give my regards to soul and romanceThey always did the best they couldAnd so long to devotion and You Got to Let Me know this is the best killers song!!!
