I have rewatched the video while looking at the lyrics a few times After a Man named Mark Christopher, who is trying to teach people how to escape legal fictions ("The Empire of Lies" as he refers to it (which may or may not have to do with the concept of Natural Law versus Legal Law): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYdAxmpIw6U ), this song now has a deeper interpretation to me than at its surface level when I first listened to the song a year or two ago:\n\nHuman := something that we have been conned into believing that we are, some kind of degraded animal resembling a man but corrupted so that it is not a man.\nMan := what we actually are, a Man (or Woman), a powerful being created in the image of the creator\n\nI\'m only human\nI\'m only, I\'m only\nI\'m only human, human\n\n-- he starts off with the idea from his programming that he is just a limited and flawed "human"\n\nMaybe I\'m foolish\nMaybe I\'m blind\nThinkin\' I can see through this\nAnd see what\'s behind\nGot no way to prove it\nSo maybe I\'m lyin\'\n\n- he is starting to see the deception intuitively, however, he is doubting himself and has no proof so he thinks that maybe he (or even his own intuition) is lying to himself\n\nBut I\'m only human after all\nI\'m only human after all\nDon\'t put your blame on me\nDon\'t put your blame on me\n\n-- he still thinks that he is a flawed human and making mistakes is inevitable so he asks to be forgiven because he thinks it is not his fault because he cannot be perfect\n\nTake a look in the mirror\nAnd what do you see?\nDo you see it clearer\nOr are you deceived\nIn what you believe?\n\n-- he is starting to see his real true self in the mirror, and asks others if they can see their real selves too or if they are still being deceived by their programming\n\n\'Cause I\'m only human after all\nYou\'re only human after all\nDon\'t put the blame on me\nDon\'t put your blame on me\n\n-- now he is kind of sarcastically saying without believing, that he is only human and mocking others for trying to blame him\n\nSome people got the real problems\nSome people out of luck\nSome people think I can solve them\nLord, heavens above\nI\'m only human after all\nI\'m only human after all\nDon\'t put the blame on me\nDon\'t put the blame on me\n\n-- he is acknowledging others that have real problems, and complaining that they think that he has all of the answers for them, feeling overwhelmed and burdened by their expectations\n\nDon\'t ask my opinion\nDon\'t ask me to lie\nThen beg for forgiveness\nFor making you cry\nFor making you cry\n\n-- he is telling people to stand up for themselves in their own power and deal with their own problems rather than be dependent upon him; he starts off by saying opinions are irrelevant (as opposed to facts) and that wants to be in integrity rather than ever lie or deceive again \n\n\'Cause I\'m only human after all\nI\'m only human after all\nDon\'t put your blame on me\nDon\'t put the blame on me\n\nOh, some people got the real problems\nSome people out of luck\nSome people think I can solve them\nLord, heavens above\nI\'m only human after all\nI\'m only human after all\nDon\'t put the blame on me\nDon\'t put the blame on me\nI\'m only human\nI make mistakes\nI\'m only human\nThat\'s all it takes\nTo put the blame on me\nDon\'t put the blame on me\n\n-- incorrectly assuming that he is human is how the court or govern-mental institutions put the blame on him (tell him that he is guilty of something)\n\n\'Cause I\'m no prophet or Messiah\nYou should go looking somewhere higher\n\n-- he is telling others to seek connection to the highest power (the creator) rather than ask him to solve their problems for them\n\nI\'m only human after all\nI\'m only human after all\nDon\'t put the blame on me\nDon\'t put the blame on me\nI\'m only human\nI do what I can\nI\'m just a man\nI do what I can\nDon\'t put the blame on me\nDon\'t put your blame on me\n\n-- he finally realizes that he is a Man who is standing in his power, and telling others that they can no longer put blame on him (trick him into agreeing that he is guilty of something)
