why does country music sound so sad often times? And then back to the chorus. He wants to know if he could have done something differently. But I dunno if that's what people want to hear!". "Are we human, or are we dancer" was taken from a journalist Hunter S. Thompson before he committed suicide, Flowers said this is where he got that line, and the deeper meaning behind that line is this: In this song, dancer is used as a metaphor for an orchestrated, rehearsed act. The theme centers on the life to death transition--say goodbye, cut the cord, open door, let me go, the call, heart still beating, no message we're receiving (the great unknown). When the call came down the line But I didn't write the song, and I think its insulting to the artist to proclaim a definite meaning of a song...it may be something very personal that we may never know. Having someone move you were they want you to go, Thinking for you, and living our life like a routine that is all planned out. I know this is probably not what The Killers meant for their song to mean, but this is how I first saw it. When you dream of home tonight?"
Perhaps he chose Human over Humans because- “Are we Humans?” sounds slightly too scientific or clinical, where as “Are we Human?” certainly yields more existential imagery. he did his best to understand when he felt a some kind of call on his life The second verse, about saying goodbye to grace, virtue, good, soul, romance, etc. This is him trying to let go of what he thinks makes him a "dancer", what he believes is holding him back from actually being human. This goes beyond just lyrics but also reading the melody and tempo changes too. The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has finally explained the lyrics to the band's new single 'Human'.

They always did the best they could refers to praying. - In a euphoric state, Dancer shrugs off all the burdens of daily life, lessons learned, mistakes, cultured morals and convinces himself that he is dancer, not human, therefore above human rules and dramas won't apply to him. Although interpretations are just that, there are certain pieces of information that Brandon Flowers acknowledges in interviews that are at least reasonable indicators of what the song is about- at least in his mind. "There's no message we're receiving, let me know is your heart still beating?" The lyrics keep contrasting life and death: vital signs=living, cold hands=dead. When he sings, "My sign is vital, my hands are cold," I also thought of this in relation to the breakup -- he's alive still, but feels dead/numb somewhat. Looking for the answer I believe Flowers is talking about a course we plan to follow in our life. div_id: "cf_async_" + Math.floor((Math.random() * 999999999)) It seemed to be about a breakup (cliché, I know, but stay with me). "And sometimes I get nervous
I was brought but I was kind" - realisation, euphoria and acceptance of the high If you are interested in more interp of this song let me know!! There is no message we're receiving Is your heart still beating?" “My signs are vital, my hands are cold” is probably a juxtaposition in sentiment. Or are we dancer? C'mon do you really think that makes sense?
