Only Human
Embracing Imperfection: A Reflection on Human Vulnerability
Lyrics
Why do you force me to be
Expressing reluctance or frustration at being forced into a certain role or identity.
Someone I don't want to be
Resisting being someone the speaker doesn't desire to be.
Nothing will ever change
Conveying a sense of hopelessness or pessimism about the possibility of change.
If all we do is complain
Highlighting the ineffectiveness of complaining without taking positive action.
So let's call this a night, call this a night
Suggesting the need to end a conflict or disagreement and part ways.
Go our separate ways, our separate ways
Emphasizing the decision to go separate ways.
I'm not saying I am right, saying I am right
Clarifying that the speaker is not claiming to be right but wants to avoid a confrontation.
I just don't want to fight, I don't wanna fight
Expressing a desire to avoid a fight and maintain peace.
I just want you to hold me, hold me
Seeking comfort and intimacy by asking for physical closeness.
cause right now I'm not alright, not alright
Indicating a current emotional struggle and a need for support.
I'm only human
Acknowledging vulnerability and imperfection as a human.
And I cry when you're away
Revealing emotional distress and a tendency to cry when separated from a significant other.
I'm only human
Reiterating the human experience of not knowing how to express oneself in certain situations.
And I don't know what to say
Emphasizing the shared humanity in facing challenges and uncertainties.
Human, human
Repeating the acknowledgment of being human with its inherent flaws and struggles.
I don't think ill make it through the night
Expressing doubt about the ability to endure a difficult situation until the morning.
But ill try one last time, last time
Committing to one last attempt or effort despite uncertainty.
Tell me, why do we, settle for this, for this
Raising a question about settling for less when there were aspirations for more.
When we wanted so much more, so much more
Highlighting unfulfilled desires for a richer and more meaningful life.

You tell me everything's a mess
Describing a situation where everything is chaotic or disordered.
I try to be the one that stay's positive
Attempting to maintain a positive outlook despite challenges.
but none the less I must confess
Admitting to internal struggles and difficulty coping with a situation.
I'm losing sleep over this
Experiencing sleep deprivation due to emotional turmoil.
You watch me drown in my own madness
Being observed while dealing with one's own mental chaos.
The more I think the more I believe
Expressing a correlation between deep thinking and a growing belief.
Maybe I'm maybe I'm
Introducing doubt about one's character, suggesting self-reflection.
Maybe I'm the bad guy
Pondering whether one may be perceived as the antagonist or responsible for difficulties.
