Lyrics for - Human as interpreted by elmoz

- Human Lyrics
HEY!!! HEY!!! HEY!!! HEY!!! HEY!!! HEY!!! HEY!!! HEY!!!
HEY!!! HEY!!! HEY!!! HEY!!! HEY!!! HEY!!! HEY!!! HEY!!!

Don't you leave me Father Time
Take me with you
Tell me does your sun still shine
Come squeeze the world and drip it down my throat... again
Down my throat again....woah

You got to breathe man, breathe
Coming up for air
Breathe man, breathe
Coming up for air

Touch me so I think I'm here
Skin my senses
Barely breathing
Minus Human
Please squeeze the world and drip it down my throat again
ooh Down my throat again.....woah

You got to breathe man, breathe
Coming up for..
Breathe man, breathe
Coming up for… AIR

You got to breathe man, breathe
Coming up for…
Breathe man, breathe
Coming up for...
Coming up for...

Maybe something about dying, losing the traits of human and becoming divine.

i get out of this song is about getting caught in the mundane b.s. of your meaningless life and not experiencing anything witht he time you have. it gets to the point where you dont know if you can still go out and have fun anymore or you are just stuck being boring and your time to shine is out. it reminds me of the matrix...a bunch of people leading meaningless existences that aren't really alive. he is calling for someone to show hime what the world has to offer him once again so he can feel alive...so he can breathe

i think this song plays during a reanimation. There are the sights of the dochtor (or so) and the person who is dying. I also think that the dying person wants to life, althought he may made suicide or so. But now, he want to life. "Please squeeze the world and drip it down my throat again" And the doctor wants to keep him alife " You got to breathe man, breathe " As allready said, my sight

One of my favourite Metallica's song!!! and the good thing is that it was one of the last new ones. lets just to the new album be as good as this song and as "no leaf clover" too... another very good one. minus human is heavy, simple in everything and it kicks ass with a nice message :) and it is not as depressing as "fade to black" another great one!!!

When I read over the lyrics, Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey books came to mind... Where the guy got trapped in the star and then turned into the starchild, I thought that might be an interesting twist on the lyrics.

I'm not gonna guess as to what the lyrics mean, all I know is this is a loose, raw, heavy, ugly song, and I love it. Just kick back and let the raw power blast yer ears out, that's my philosphy.

It's an S&M origional. Of COURSE it's great. I wish I could have been at San Fransisco to hear it played live.
For some reason i love the intro the best. For some reason it reminds me of Soviet Russia, with the anvil-like percussion at the start.

The song is about a man who is dying and regrets not living his life to the fullest. I love this song!

It's about a person who is dying, and is struggling to stay alive.

I agree with Rock dude - the intro is awesome. The first guitar riff after the strings is incredible.

I loved S & M. Also, listening to the songs without the ochestra on the DVD is pretty cool, coz I've never heard some of those songs played live.

kerby - i care.

This song is very interesting. I think it's about losing your humanity to the mindless of everydaylife.
I think "air" here means thoughts, dreams etc. But then i'm a 15 year old. So much for that..

I think it means being less than human, hence minus human. Like you don't feel that you're alive.

Coming up for.." so cliff didn't die that night,just a opinion

Sounds like the embrace of a vampire.

Including what everyone else said about a reincarnation, consider 'don't you leave me Father Time, take me with you'. So he's becoming timeless: immortal, as a vampire. 'tell me, does your sun still shine?' He's a vampire now; he can't be in the sun so he since he can never see it he wonders if it even still shines. The dripping down the throat sounds like the vampire taking the blood he needs for his embrace. 'Barely breathing, minus human...drip it down my throat again.' The moment of ecstasy and death during the embrace, and the all-powerful blood. Then when he must come up for air: he must tear himself away from the blood and take his first breath as a revenant.
That's what it sounds like to me, anyway.
