Human Beings Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Brownie6 

Cover art for Human Beings lyrics by Seal

Seal is a genius and underrated. This song is about the desire to be something more than we are. To be closer to God, or to be number 1. We push so hard to be non human, that we lose our humanity. We forget that we're just human beings. We get to a place where we feel we're at the top, but we're often forgetting who we've hurt, used or forgotten to get there. It's a song of humility and simplicity. Brilliant!
