Cover art for Human lyrics by Ellie Goulding

God, this song in genius...

I heard it was about an addict, like meepslove explains, and i guess with the lines

"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"

You can't really see past those lines as to what the root of the song could be. But the way this song is written is one of the most beautiful portrayals of something so deep and so real, wanting to be human. This song means a lot to me, the lyrics are exactly how my life was once, and i guess still is; wanting to feel and not just be like a ghost in this world anymore. With being so out of touch with everything you even lose feeling in the numbness that you have... This is just breathtaking :)
