Almost Human Lyrics

Lyric discussion by cheapfeet 

Cover art for Almost Human lyrics by Voltaire

This is clearly about the angel Lucifer retelling his experience of being cast out of God's grace. He is wallowing in contempt and anger, and he is worth nothing. But he doesn't know what he is- he has the same emotions humans have- contempt, anger, jealousy, but he isn't a human, nor is he an angel. He still doesn't realize what he's done wrong, saying, Is it really such a crime for an angel to speak his mind? great song
