I think this song is about a person comparing thereself to someone who seems so perfect. They aspire to be like this 'human' and turn their life around. This is my interpretation of the lyrics. "Human behave yourself, You have burst at the seams Let it all fall out open your mouth" - She is singing about someone who is too perfect and this takes a lot of energy so they are on the verge of exploding. She wants them to just let go and make a mistake so that she doesn't seem so flawed compared to them. "Often I lie wide awake, Think of things I can make But I don't seem to have the parts to build them" - She wants to make something of her life but she doesn't know how. "Human I wonder why you're a better make Than I could ever build or create, You know not love or hate" - She is again admiring how perfect this person is and saying that they have the ability to feel mixed emotions whereas she can only ever see one side of things and isn't as broad minded. "I am so scared of what will kill me In the end for I am not prepared, I hope I will get the chance to be someone, To be human" - She is scared of dying without making something of her life. Her life is a mess and she wants to change that. "Human I'm trying to come clean, I will be a better me, I will not drink until I'm dead I'll make the most of it." - She is telling this person she wants to change. "I don't know what it's like to be alive, To say goodbye, To cry a thousand tears Because my ears won't listen" - She doesn't know how to say goodbye because people in her life have always left without saying goodbye. She has stopped herself from crying and feeling anything in a way of protecting herself emotionally, to the point where she no longer remembers what it feels like to feel. "Human I'm trying not to lose my faith in you, I've sussed out all that I've seen through, I've sailed an ocean" - She has thought about 'becoming human' for a while and is trying not to doubt this way of life. "I used to hear it all so loud, The sound of my heart breaking." - She used to feel emotion but no longer can. "The truth is waiting to be found, I trust that I will take it" - She is finally going to open up her heart again and let herself feel. |

| To me this song is about making sacrifices for the one you love so that they can shine, but at the same time knowing that one day you will have to let them go because their dreams are so big. | |
