This unique collaboration between Lenny Kravitz, the rock band Bring Me the Horizon (BMTH), and the ethereal singer AURORA, transcends genre with its exploration of complex emotions. The lyrics paint a picture of a tumultuous relationship fueled by a desire for intensity and a struggle with self-worth.Let's delve deeper with a breakdown of the song's sections:

[Intro: Oli Sykes]
Drag me down some more, get me low like a basement
I hope that you wrote all your songs for me

Explanation of Intro 
BMTH's vocalist, Oli Sykes sets the tone with a dark plea. He craves emotional depths, hoping the entire song resonates with his struggles.

[Verse 1: Oli Sykes]
On my last nerve, burnt out all my veins
Blue angels tryna sacrifice the shame
Soul crushin' goin’ back around the turn again, yeah
Cut my teeth on a diamond till it's rough
Feelin' good but it's never good enough
Got a bellyache crawlin' in my guts again, yeah

Explanation of verse 1 
Sykes expresses exhaustion and a deep-seated sense of inadequacy.The metaphors of "blue angels" and "diamond" suggest a constant battle and unfulfilled desires.Physical discomfort ("bellyache") reflects the emotional turmoil.

[Pre-Chorus: Oli Sykes]
Come closer
I'll swallow the bile for you
Don't want closure
I'll stitch myself up alone, oh, no, ah

Explanation of Pre-Chorus 
A shift occurs. Sykes offers himself completely, even if it means pain ("swallow the bile").AURORA's entrance hints at a preference for self-reliance over closure ("stitch me up alone").

[Chorus: Oli Sykes]
Drag me down some more, get me low like a basement
I hopе that you wrote all your songs for me
Kiss the ground I walk, I'm a fool for you
In a rut, bеlted up in the limousine

Explanation of Chorus
The central theme emerges as a paradoxical yearning for emotional torment ("Drag me down some more").
There's a mix of self-deprecation ("fool for you") and a luxurious lifestyle ("rut... limousine").

[Verse 2: AURORA]
Hop inside, take a ride to the top (Ah-ah-ah)
We can brake, but we're never gonna stop
Got a death wish tuggin' on my sleeves again, yeah

In a rut, bеlted up in the limousine

[Bridge: Oli Sykes & AURORA, AURORA]
So lock all the doors
'Cause I'm insecure
Let's get out of here (Out of here)

Explanation of Bridge 
The bridge in "Human" acts as a turning point. With Oli Sykes admitting "I'm insecure," a layer of vulnerability cracks through the song's intensity. Together, they yearn to "get out of here," hinting at a desire to escape the emotional rollercoaster or their own anxieties. This brief moment adds depth and leaves the song's ending open-ended, inviting listeners to ponder the characters' fate.

[Outro: Oli Sykes & AURORA]
What the fuck you waiting for? (What? Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Do you like the way your skin crawls? (Ah-ah)
How it makes your body twitch?
Does it make you sick?
Does it make you sick?
Does it make you sick?
Sick

Explanation of Outro 
The song ends with a provocative question, challenging the listener to confront raw emotions ("Do you like how your skin crawls?").
