Human
Embracing Imperfection: The Human Struggle in The Late Night Call's Song
Lyrics
Am I a liar
Questioning if the speaker is dishonest
Am I a liar or a saint
Questioning if the speaker is both dishonest and morally upright
A saint who's pushing trough your veins
Implying being a morally good influence intertwined in someone's life
The adrenaline to be left again
Desire for the rush of excitement despite the risk of abandonment
Used again
Feeling used or exploited again
I pray I will make it to not lose the faith in me and you
Hoping not to lose faith in oneself and the other person
Before you love me
Before you start loving me
And before you care
Before you show care towards me
Promise me one thing
Requesting a promise to reconsider
To think over again
Reconsider the fact that the speaker is only human
That I'm only human
Acknowledging human limitations
Remembering that
Recalling a previous agreement or understanding
No more excuses
Refusing to make excuses anymore
You are the one but
Acknowledging the significance of the listener
No more excuses
Reiteration of not making excuses anymore
You can't handle me
Suggesting the listener can't cope with the speaker's complexities
Oh, no more excuses
Repeatedly stating no more excuses
I try to protect you
Attempting to shield the listener from harm
No more excuses
Restating no more excuses, attributing issues to the speaker
It's not you, it's me
Blaming oneself rather than the listener for issues
I'm so done with being explained
Frustration with explanations about one's personality traits
That I'm too weak or too strong or too shy or too loud
Feeling tired of being characterized in various ways
Before you love me
Requesting consideration before affection
And before you care
Before displaying care or concern
Promise me one thing
Asking for reconsideration
To think over again
Reiterating the fact of being human
That I'm only human
Reminder of human limitations
Remembering that
Recurrence of acknowledging human fallibility
Each day I close my eyes
Reflecting on personal decisions daily
Knowing I'm the one choosing sides
Acknowledging personal responsibility in choices made
Choosing to be human
Choosing to embrace human qualities
Choosing to be human
Reaffirming the choice to embrace humanity
Choosing to be human
Emphasizing the decision to be oneself
Choosing to be me
Deciding to stay true to one's identity
Before you love me
Requesting consideration before love
And before you care
Requesting consideration before care
Promise me one thing
Asking for a reconsideration of the human condition
To think over again
Reiteration of being merely human
That I'm only human
Reminder of human fallibility
Remembering that
Reiteration of the fact of being human
Each day I close my eyes
Reflecting on personal responsibility
Knowing I'm the one choosing sides
Acknowledgment of the personal role in decision-making
