Instrumentation
Something Human is one of the first songs after a long time Matt has written on acoustic guitar. Alongside acoustic guitar and clean bass, it features tribal drums and electronic drums, mixed with synth, giving a folk/country sounding song a futuristic vibe.
Song Meaning
Something Human is the first song Bellamy wrote after the Drones world tour finished, which becomes apparent in the lyrics. The song appears to talk about going home and seeing the loved ones again, after a long time being separated far away.
Lyrics
My circuits have blown
I know its self imposed And all I have shared And all I have loved Is all I have known But something has changed I feel so alive My life just blew up I'll give it all up I'll depressurize
10000 miles left on the road 500 hours until I'm home I need something human, human
Lets face all our fears Come out of the shade Lets burn all the money Absolve all the lies And wake up unscathed The big picture is gone Replaced with visions of you Now life can begin I've cleansed all my sins I'm about to break through
5000 hours left on the road 200 hours until I'm home I need something human, human And I need the touch And something human
Less than a mile left on the road I'll be crawling though your door I need something human, human And I need your love And something human, human.
