I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought, 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've gotta 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've gotta 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?

  • 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.

  • Awesome song ! *****

  • 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."

  • "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!

  • Only song I like from day and age album

  • 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

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