Something Human Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My circuits have blown
I know it's self imposed
And all I have shared, and all I have loved
Is all I'll ever own
But something has changed
I feel so alive
My life just blew up, I'd give it all up
I'll depressurize

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, ten thousand miles left on the road
Oh, oh, oh, five-hundred hours 'till I am home

[Chorus]
I need something human, human
Human, human

[Verse 2]
Let's face all our fears
Come out of the shade
Let's burn all the money, absolve all the lies
And wake up unscathed
The big picture's gone
Replaced with visions of you
Now life can begin, I've cleansed all my sins
I'm about to break through

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, five thousand miles left on the road
Oh, oh, oh, two-hundred hours till I am home

[Chorus]
I need something human, human
Human, human

[Bridge]
And I need the touch
And something human, human

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, less than a mile left on the road
Oh, oh, oh, I will be crawling though your door
I need something human, human
Human, human

[Outro]
And I need your love
And something human, human

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

My 2 cents: sometimes being human means to take a step back from how you expect things to happens, and instead being the one who makes them happen even if not in the perfect way you wished them to happen, or being angry or happy instead of being indifferent and coldish. I imagine the depressurize part as what happens before getting out of your own world, maybe a perfect one when there are not many contacts with the outside for a long time, before entering the one where people interact with each other all the time, and accept and even love imperfections.
