Human Being
Exploring Humanity's Imperfections: 'Human Being' by Terrorvision
Lyrics
Don't cry baby rest your weary head
Comforting someone, encouraging them to find peace and rest.
Don't cry mama daddy didn't mean what he said
Assuring a mother that her partner didn't mean hurtful words.
Wake up baby it's a brand new day
Waking up to a new day, suggesting a fresh start and optimism.
Wake up mama I think he's gone away
Alerting a mother that a problematic figure may have left.
And it's always on my mind we're only human
Reflecting on the constant awareness of human fallibility.
What do you want it's more than I can give
Expressing limitation in meeting demands, possibly in relationships.
Man I'm just a human being
Acknowledging personal humanity, implying limitations and flaws.
What makes a man bruise his loving wife
Questioning the motivations behind domestic violence.
What makes a man want to take his own life
Questioning the reasons leading someone to contemplate suicide.
And it's always on my mind we're only human
Reiterating the constant awareness of human fallibility.
What do you want it's more than I can give
Expressing inability to fulfill excessive expectations.
Man I'm just a human being
Reiterating personal limitations as a human being.
I wish I'd been to woodstock
Expressing a wish for experiences like attending Woodstock.
Or written wild thing
Expressing a wish to create something iconic like "Wild Thing."
I wish I'd shot the pope dead
Expressing controversial thoughts, wishing harm to the Pope.
Or killed a foreign king
Expressing extreme thoughts, wishing harm to a foreign king.
And it's always on my mind we're only human
Reiterating the constant awareness of human fallibility.
