I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought, but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes, clear your heart
Cut the cord

Are we human
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye, wish me well
You've gotta let me go

Are we human
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know, is your heart still beating?

Are we human
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer

You've gotta let me know

Are we human
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

Are we human
Or are we dancer?
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

    ok, so heres what i think on the whole thing

    I did my best to notice, when the call came down the line Up to the platform of surrender, I was brought but I was kind -i think hes describing an epifany that he got when he was contemplating the world and life in general

    And sometimes I get nervous when I see an open door Close your eyes, clear your heart... and cut the cord -this is something that as humans we all feel when we start a new stage in our life and hes just saying dive in! dont be a dancer...

    Are we human, or are we dancer -when we were created (not evolutionized, hes mormon) God made us with a freewill, dancers dont really have a free will, we follow our choreographers steps and wear what they tell us to wear and even make ourselves look like what they want us to look like, our only purpose is to perform, thats what the human race has turned into, everyone has become dancers

    My sign is vital, my hands are cold And I'm on my knees looking for the answer Are we human, or are we dancer -hes describing the desperation and the heart ache realizing what we have become

    Pay my respects to grace and virtue, send my condolences to good Give my regards to soul and romance, they always did the best they could -these are things we are taught in our youth, these things are supposed to help us when we grow up and i'm thinking hes saying you need more than that to make it

    And so long to devotion you taught me everything I know Wave good bye, wish me well, you gotta let me go -devotion is dedication or attachment to something or someone, pretty much love, hes learned alot from love, but hes going to let go of all those things hes listed

    Will your system be alright? When you dream of home tonight There is no message we're receiving Let me know, is your heart still beating? -i think hes talking about when youve gotten so far that it about kills you to look back at your youth and what you used to be

    Are we human, or are we dancer My sign is vital, my hands are cold And I'm on my knees looking for the answer... You've gotta let me know

    Are we human, or are we dancer My sign is vital my hands are cold And I'm on my knees looking for the answer Are we human... or are we dancer

    Are we human, or are we dancer Are we human, or are we dancer
