Been hearing this song on the radio and once I asked hubby what the singer was singing about, was it “are we human or are dancer?” Hubby wasn’t listening to the song because he was busy in the kitchen, instead he just told me that I was crazy to ask the question. I ignored what he said and asked another question: “Are dancers not human?” Again he told me that I was crazy, lol! But guess who asked the same question as the one I asked first, hahaa! A few days ago, the song was played again and maybe this time he heard the song right while he was busy with his usual routine in the kitchen. “Is he singing, are we human or are we dancer???” I told him that I asked the same question before and that he didn’t believe me. It prompted me to search for the lyrics of the song and the result showed that not only me and hubby were wondering about that special line in the chorus. He said that if it was “denser” then he would understand. But it’s not and here’s the explanation:
hi Marlene,
I intended to watch the youtube but my internet speed is rather slow especially when everybody in my office has started to switch on their Pcs. Hahaha.
So did you get the answer for are we humans or dancers? Hahaha… wait a minute! your husband was busy in the Kitchen? Is he a good cook? Didn’t you cook? Hahahah …well…i always cook for my family too.

Willie, it’s ok. You can watch it when everybody’s gone home, hehee!
The answer is quite deep to understand but logical in sense. Yay, hubby cooks more than I do and he’s better than me. I cook but it’s not my cup of tea, ngeks! So they say that men are better cook than women. 🙂
nice video.. lol.. i can’t say anything more…lol

It’s just an explanation of why the singer used those controversial lines.
Oh my, why can’t I watch the video….

Here is otherwise, this song is played many times on the radio here.
The lyrics is well written and the song really deep. It depends on the way the listener wants to look upon the song. It may have different meaning for different people. It is a beautiful song.

That’s one of the explanations. Yes, the message of that particular line is very deep, perhaps the reason why many reacted. I like the melody, too.
It’s a deep one. BTW love the song

That’s very deep too.
listened to the song, but can’t watch the video..
great song though.. about human and dance..
nope dance is different kind of human.. 😀
There is actually no video, but the song and the explanation running only. Hehee, if we just think it literally then we couldn’t get the true message of the song.
hehe. medyo weird nga. i haven’t hear the song though.
Dito, ewan ko ba bakit pini-play palagi. Parang walang katapusan, hahaa!
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 goodbye, wish me well
You’ve 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 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 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?
Yay, now I know how deep the song is. Thanks for the lyrics, Shanker. I’m too lazy to find it.
i haven’t listened to this song and for some reason, i can’t play the video too. happy weekend.

Huhuu, that’s why sometimes I don’t like embedding videos from Youtube because some countries couldn’t play it.
I haven’t heard of the song but thanks for sharing.

And I hope you hear the song now. It’s played in the video.
Nah was klaro pod na kanta oi, basin mali sya ay hehe..anyway te musta nmn? dugay nata was nagkita…
Hehee, mao jud shy. Baw lang sa nag-compose. Hayy, mao uy. Saun tugnaw ug kapoy naman igawas masabado. Wa mi nagkita-kita last two months.
i was creating a playlist for my mp3 player at this moment from the collection of my mp3 albums that was downloaded a couple of month ago, i just added the folder and set my winamp to shuffle mode when i heard this music, i remembered i think i have heard this music from one of the blogs i read and yes… it was your blog.. i cant seem to understand the lyrics and the meaning is very deep… when i searched in google found out that the lyrics were inspired by a disparaging comment made by Hunter S. Thompson about how America was raising a generation of dancers… weird.. but its cool.. a different sound to my ear… if you are a music lover, you will still appreciate this kind of music…
.-= sernan´s last blog ..Ninite – Install Apps in One shot! =-.
I was thinking of adding this song to my mp3 files, too. I do like the cool melody. Yes, dancer is used as a metaphor in the song and I begin to understand the message when it was explained in the video I embedded.
I don’t know some how I unable to see this video. Whats the problem with this video.
What is the meaning of this line “Are we human or are we dancer” there is no sense of this line.
.-= Flashpoints´s last blog ..Howzat for Shane’s new crowning glory? =-.
Actually, there is if you just read the lyrics, not sing it, lol!
Mejo nag nosebleed ako dun pero nagets ko rin naman kahit paano yung logic nya. Twice ko pa tlaga binasa para magsink in sa akin haha. And I do like the melody too.

Amor, mahirap na nga maintindihan ang lyrics, pati explanation ay mahirap din intindihin kung di basahin uli. 🙂
