The Killers - Human (Official Music Video)

[@IheartpurplestuffBlogspot1]

The Killers are one of the best bands/sounds of the 21st century. They took alternative to a vibrant level that no one else has been able to accomplish. This song (as well as many others of theirs) is solid gold music making. Touches the soul.

[@solidifiedmilk571]

I had thought they were just one of those overly poppy punk bands, but looking at their influences, and listening to their music, they really are alt rock. I think the only difference is that they embraced the pop aspect of music a little more than Radiohead or the Smashing Pumpkins.

great song, still dont understand though whats meant by ''are we human, or are we dancer''? wtf does that mean? :D

[@igorbsantos]

I never had heard this song until last Saturday. I am from Brazil but I was in Rome with my wife celebrating our 10th-year anniversary and there were 2 street artists playing this song in this square near Sisto Bridge. It was the perfect day, the sunset was beautiful over the water of the Tiber River. We just grab 2 beers, sat down and enjoyed that moment. This song hit me in its first words. I spent 10 days in Italy but this is the particular moment that will make me remember this trip forever. How magic is a song in our lives?

Everyone seems to be asking so I looked it up, and found this, "The lyric “Are we human, or are we dancer?” was inspired by a quote from legendary “gonzo journalist” Hunter S. Thompson. The original quote…if it ever existed is "America is raising a generation of dancers, afraid to take one step out of line."

[@MonaRoo88]

Yes! Me too. This is the only song that I’ve wondered what it meant so I looked it up and of course it was from something brilliant! Of course Brandon wrote it off of a Hunter S. Thompson quote💕 I believe he said they won an award for the most grammatically incorrect song, which I also learned is a thing.🤣

[@myapinion7532]

We're certainly dancers now. Walk in that direction, stand there, don't sit here,........

[@gurukamikaze]

Yeah it seems the emphasis is supposed to be on you questioning the existence of your individual humanity so that’s why it’s are you an individual human or an individual dancer rather than the plural form. Very deep and a great addition to the furtherance of the humanities and our understanding of how romance, soul and devotion can give insight to inner self over the fabrications and parameters set for us to conform and fall in line.

[@ALHall-yw5jo]

FAQ -The correct lyrics are "are we human, or are we dancer" -The above line was inspired by a quote from Hunter S. Thompson, saying America is "raising a generation of dancers". Dancers is used to symbolize that we live to meet expectations, like we're choreographed. (up to interpretation?) -In my personal opinion, the word "dancer" was used instead of "dancers" for a reason. It is used to let us know he is not talking about the profession or hobby, but rather a state of being (like a species?). This way it matches how he used "human" instead of "humans". -Yes, The Killers are the best band ever.

[@IsuzusanH6]

+A.L Hall I don't know for the interpretation of dancers... As a former dancer myself, I used this way to express my feelings, even if it was choregraphed. Plus, the choregraphy is nothing... It's your interpretation of it that makes it interesting. The more you put emotions in your movements, the more you can touch the heart of your public. So to me, "Dancer" here express our ability to be emotionnal beings. Aaand I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense, english is not my first langage so I might have written some strange things XD (And I don't really know The Killers work, but surely this song is a masterpiece >w

[@ALHall-yw5jo]

+IsuzusanH6 I absolutely agree with you about the choreography. I used the above interpretation simply because it's the most widely accepted interpretation of the quote. I don't think it is meant to put down choreography, but rather get his point across in an easy to understand way. And the best part of art is that everyone's view on it is based upon their experiences! The song could be about aliens for all we know. All we can do is speculate. Your English is very good. It is my first language, and I think you're better at it than me! :)

[@Apokalypse456]

+IsuzusanH6 i understood it more as dancing to someone elses music, to somebodys orders. but hey, thats the nice thing, interpretation is always unique

Once at the mall, while I was lining up for the cashier, this song started playing on the radio. I couldn’t help but sing along to myself. Then another voice-a man-in the line started singing along, too. It was such a feel-good moment-two humans who didn’t know each other, connected by The Killers through this song. I was smiling inside the whole time, and I bet the other The Killers fan was, too. =)

Flowers is irritated that people don't quite seem to get the lyric, and that fans were unhappy with the song's dance beat. "It's supposed to be a dance song, it goes with the chorus," he says. "If you can't put that together, you're an idiot. I just don't get why there's a confusion about it." - Rolling Stone Not so respectful and a bit of ego.

My mother was shocked because me and my sister had a good bond when she was born. She used to cry a lot but when i was there to play with her she would start laughing and smiling. At my 10th birthday my mom and dad gave me a cd with The Killers - Human on it. Everytime something sh*t happens this song will come on the radio ( like right now i broke my thumb ). Me and my mom were riding to the hospital and my mother turned on the radio, this song came up and i had that several times. And when this song comes up i feel something in my body.

I was born in 1948. When this song came on the radio, it was a buzz, like hearing a favourite hit in the 1960s, and that's a rare thing nowadays.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm a younger person, but I love the music from the 60s too! I think segregating ourselves as to what music we can or can't like based on age is ridiculous.

I’ve listen to this song hundreds of times since 2009 while searching for my purpose as a writer. Hundreds of hours of writing motivated by this song with these lines in my head- “did my best to notice when a call came down the line” “see an open door” “my sign is vital” “but I’m on my knees looking for the answer”. I don’t know what the actual lyrics are about but they’re a motivating anthem to me.

[@kinyutaka]

My interpretation of the verses is that the singer is describing a life lived through the song. Each verse, he is on his knees for a different reason, a different answer: Birth: "Cut the cord" = Meaning the umbilical cord. He is on his knees, looking to those older than him for guidance. Marriage: "You gotta let me know" = He has just asked The Question, 'Will you marry me?" Death: "Is your heart still beating" = He is near death and wondering what else there is after death.

I’m just a simple man missing the best times I ever had in life…. “You taught me everything I know” “Wave goodbye wish me well”

Verse 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 [Chorus] 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? [Verse 2] 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 got to let me go [Chorus] 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? [Bridge] 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? [Chorus] 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? [Outro] Are we human or are we dancer? Are we human or are we dancer?

The song is asking the question: Are we free, or are we subjects of society? Human means we can do what we want when we want. Dancer is referring to a puppet dancing on string. 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. If you listen to the other lyrics you can see that dancer is actually referring to a puppet. "Cut the cord" or let us free is essentially what he is saying.

This video was filmed at Goblin Valley State Park in Utah. My last time there was in April, 2012 when I took my Troop of Boy Scouts there for spring break. We had a wonderful time exploring the goblins and hoodoos, camping, and hiking slot canyons in the San Rafael Reef. Little did I know I would lose one of my Scouts to suicide 5 months later. Watching this video brought back so many memories of better times. Grief truly never leaves you. It's the price we pay for loving those souls whose lives are intertwined with our own. I miss you Braedon and wonder often who you would be today. You were an amazing young man. You should be here. 💜

It is about how they went from being a normal person to becoming a successful musician celebrity type deal and the term dancer is being related to being a robot (will your system be alright, if you dream of home to night, emphasis on system) or something that's not human because of their unique status in life; perhaps a slight allusion to how entertainers are a mass marketed commodity.

[@LeeDurhamStone]

In this deeply existential song by The Killers, with its stirring query of the meaning of human life, the ultimate question it asks is whether we are merely humans or also dancers, participants in the larger cosmic context. It asks whether humans exist as no more than individuated life forms, scheduled to live out a short existence with no eternal prospects after we "cut the cord." Or, whether as humans we are active, ensouled, dancing material beings. We live as humans who ask existential questions looking for meaningful, ultimate answers. "I'm on my knees looking for the answer," say the lyrics, but "there is no message we're receiving." This indicates humans exist in an unfathomable Universe in which they live as "nervous" beings with "cold hands" who must assume responsibility for acts of free will as they question their very existence. At moments in our individual lives, the lyrics say we "see an open door" to the Beyond, in which at the last moment of life, "when the call comes" and we are on "the platform" ready for the final takeoff, we "clear our hearts," kindly acquiesce and "surrender" in a final leap of faith. The lyrics say humans leave behind grace, virtue, good, soul, romance, devotion --the things that make us distinctly human. But we participate in a larger show, that of dancers in the Great Terpsichorean Universe, the "home" of which we dream. The band performs in a mise-en-scene of nonhuman life forms. The tiger and lion signify the Universe-as-Predator and absorber of individuated human lives. The vulture signifies death, our absorption into the Great Beyond. The band at the end gazes out beyond Earth, beyond human life, to that "open door. " The answer to the plaintive, existential question of whether we exist as humans or as dancers is that we, in essence, exist as both. In truth, we are embodied souls/ensouled bodies living within the greater OverSoul, the Atma. We are not merely humans, after all. The task, then, is to disremember the existential questions --plenty of that anon --and enjoy the dance now in unfettered pas de deux with the embracing Universe. This song by The Killers provides some fullness-of-faith moments in which we can do just that.
