Human - the killers

I was playing "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2008" on background the other day and again liked the music a lot. So I did a little research, and surprisingly was truly touched by one of the song "Human" (The Killers). When I say I am "touched" by a song, it's always the lyrics that does the trick. Yes even though I don't usually listen to contemporary music, this one is definitely an exception that enchants me. As I mentioned, I've been thinking about the possibility of becoming religious. Religion is tempting, I admit, especially to someone like me who lives in a hell that nobody else can see (to some extent everyone is like that I guess), for it's reassuring, comforting. But even though I realize that I can not approach the question from a scientific perspective, pure "spirit" wise I still have two big questions. One is about the fairness of the creator, the other concerns human pride (I know they call it a sin, whatever). This song, albeit the author(s) might be thinking of being independent, rebellious in a social context, I think one can apply it to other scenarios as well. I like this verse best: bold yet very powerful -

"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 good bye, wish me well"




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 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 good bye, wish me well

You 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 all right
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

Are we human or are we dancer

Are we human or are we dancer
