The Killers - Human Lyrics

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 dancers?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancers?

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 dancers?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancers?

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 dancers?
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 dancers?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancers?

Are we human or are we dancers?
Are we human or are we dancers?

  Cut the cord, is the same bring yours feelings and try to live without needing something that suport you. Is then when you will know what are you capable to do alone.
  The song is great.

  Denser is totes a word...but more a descriptor, as in this is denser than that, so in this case, are we human or are we denser(than a human?). But either way, dancer or denser, I like the song :)

  it means that the puppets, which is us, are cofused like that they don't know what they are.so when he says cut the cord, it means that they wanna be free and know more about themselves.

  Its Dancer!! Brandon Flowers, the lead-singer of The Killers, has said that the song is a mild-political statement inspired by a quote by journalist Hunter S. Thompson that "America is raising a generation of dancers".

  Its about breaking free from controlling people in ones life. trying to find the right path to walk.

  i personally think that they are referring to dancers as "puppets" or people that go along with the media, controlled by the cultur of today. but being a dancer myself i see it as an insult becuase in reality dancers are much have much more feeling than most humans & they are usually in touch with they're emotions, so i don't thinkk it makes a lot of sense.

  I believe the "dancer" is a puppet with someone else controlling it and to be human is to be alone and responsible for one's own choices. I sense a quest at the end of a life about saying goodbye to this life. I loved the song the first time I heard it.
