Human - The Killers

"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?..."

In the song Human, I feel that The Killers try to express a Non-Conformity and Self-Reliance tone in their lyrics. I understood from the main chorus "Are we human? Or are we dancer?" that The Killers are trying to say who are we now that society developed their own definition of "perfect" where our opinions and voice have disappeared. Here the lyrics "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?" stress how much we've changed throughout time that we can't find ourselves any longer. The Killers express their Self-Reliance in their lyrics, "When you see an open door, close your eyes, clear your heart...cut the cord." When you see an opportunity to speak and be your own person instead of what everyone else wants, that's where you cut yourself from society and make you, you.
