What are the lyrics to Human by the Killers?

Answer 1

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

Hear my regards to soul and romance

They always did the best they could

And so long to devotion

It 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

Are we human or are we dancer?

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?

Answer 2

It means that The Killers are really bad at writing lyrics.

what the lyrics mean is

Are We Human?-Referring To Every Human Being Different

Or Are We Dancer?-Referes To Us Being All The Same Such As Dancers

Get It Now?

Nope, I think the 1st one was correct. There is a misuse of the singular and plural i.e it should be Dancers with the use of 'Are we'. One of those great non lyrics which is designed to make us curious, like

Britney Spears 'If you seek Amy' or the old classic 'What's she gonna look like with a chimney top on her'

Okay can I just say... Some of you guys are idiots? Because the second guy was totally right. "Are we human" IS referring to individuals and "Or are we dancer" is referring to everyone being the same; conformity. The reason there isn't a "s" on the end of dancer is because the whole idea is about CONFORMITY. Add a "s" makes it plural therefore the line would no longer be going towards the idea of conformity. Get it? ;)

Answer 3

I've basically always seen it as saying are we humans or are we dancers, which basically means are we humans who think logically, etc, or are we dancers, the dreamers of the world. Definitely not my favorite killers song by a long-shot I've never really liked that techno stuff at all. But hell it's your question so sorry for dragging on and on.

Answer 4

The chorus is

Are we human or are we dancer, My signs are vital, my hands are cold. And I'm on my knees, looking for the answer, are we human, or are we dancer. . .

Answer 5
