The Killers – Human Lyrics 17 years ago
great replies!


like you were saying, if his cords are cut [as a puppet/dancer] that would mean he gets his freedom, but he would be dead as a human as well...
so the song might also have allusions to Plato's Allegory of the Cave.. as a human he isn't truly free because he is bound by his senses and 'cords'

so dancers and humans are the same, in a way- as a puppet he isn't free and as a human he isn't free as well


lol. maybe I read too much into it
