What do they mean by “Are we human, or are we dancer”?

Flowers cities Hunter S Thompson's words that the US has "raised a generation of dancers"
Probably meaning effiette unemployable softies. I think Flowers tones down the vitriol, but in his poetic mellon kinda likes the idea of people being classified as dancers

They gabble on there about what they think it means.
this one was interesting
| Quote: |
| I believe "Human" is about the thought/theory of living with God or a Higher Power prior to this life, than experiencing lonliness and isolation from that Source, and questioning the very existence of it, even though we feel something/someone is there. For those God believing people we always talk of dieing and going back to Heaven, if we are going BACK...that means we may have been there before. Let's look at the lyrics.
I did my best to notice When the call came down the line Up to the platform of surrender I was brought but I was kind And sometimes I get nervous When I see an open door Close your eyes, clear your heart Cut the cord (IT WAS HIS TURN TO LEAVE AND BE BORN. HE IS DESCRIBING THE MOMENT OF BEING BROUGHT TO THAT DOOR AND STEPPING THROUGH AND LEAVING THAT PRE-EARTH LIFE, THAT COMFORTABLE LIFE LINE) Pay my respects to grace and virtue Send my condolences to good Hear my regards to soul and romance They always did the best they could And so long to devotion It taught me everything I know Wave goodbye, wish me well You've gotta let me go (IT'S NATURAL FOR US TO TRY TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT, BUT WHEN WE ARE NOT EMOTIONALLY/PHYSICALLY REWARDED FOR TRYING WE BEGIN TO TURN AWAY FROM WHAT WE THINK IS GOOD. HE IS SAYING "SO LONG TO GRACE, VIRTUE, DEVOTION." HE IS NOT FEELING THE CONNECTION TO THE GOD OR HIGHER POWER ANY MORE) (HE'S ON HIS KNEES, SEEKING SOME COMMUNICATION. HE IS ALIVE AND FEELING, BUT NOT FEELING IN THE SPIRITUAL SENSE THAT THERE IS MORE THAN JUST THIS LIFE, AND HE ASKS...) Are we human or are we dancers? My sign is vital, my hands are cold And I'm on my knees looking for the answer Are we human or are we dancers? (HE THEN ASKS HIMSELF AN INTERNAL QUESTION, I THINK WE ALL ASK OURSELVES FROM TIME TO TIME. WHAT IF THERE ISN'T A HIGHER POWER OR A HEAVEN ARE WE OK WITH THAT? HE FOLLOWS UP WITH A HOPEFUL QUESTION TO GOD...LET ME KNOW, IS YOUR HEART STILL BEATING?) Will your system be alright When you dream of home tonight There is no message we're receiving Let me know, is your heart still beating? (I LOVE THAT DESCRIPTION OF STRUGGLE...HE SAYS LOOK YOU'RE NOT REAL, YOU'RE NOT SPEAKING TO ME...BUT HE STILL PLEADS...LET ME KNOW, IS YOUR HEART STILL BEATING? AND PRAYS AGAIN...ARE WE HUMAN (WITH HOPE OF SOMETHING MORE), OR ARE WE DANCER (ARE WE JUST HERE MOVING ABOUT, WITH NO PARTICULAR DIRECTION, WHERE LIFE AND EXPERIENCE DICTATES ARE MOVEMENTS)? |

Im not too sure, i was listening to that song recently, is it supposed to ask whether we're real or we're just pawns in a world where all our actions are determined? Im not too sure, great song though
