Bidrag ”Human” är en ballad med en relativt mörk låttext. Med rader som ”You might feel powerless at times” och ”What’s the purpose of this pain” är det lätt att tolka låten som deppig.
Oscar Zia själv väljer dock att tolka den på ett positivt sätt.
– Det är ingen sorgsen ballad utan en låt som ska sprida hopp med mycket kämpaglöd, säger han till svt.se/melodifestivalen.
Det mörker som beskrivs är gemensamt för alla människor och blir därför något vi kan förenas i, menar han.
– Den handlar om att vi alla är människor, med våra respektive fel och brister. Vi kan lugna våra funderingar och ångesten över våra egna problem i tanken på att det är lika för alla människor.
Texten: Human
I know exactly how you feel
you can hear what they think
Like a shadow in the dark
are you even real
They will bring you down
but weakness makes them win
You have to realize
you're stronger than you think
Cause once that you've seen
what's on the other side
You have to believe
you can win this fight
If you think we're human
take a look once again
If you think we're human
where's the heart when we just look away
If you think we're human
you should think once again
If you think were human
look at us it's time to make a change
and the question remains
About the world and why we're here
what's the purpose of this pain
You might feel powerless at times
go on and make it disappear
Cause every time you feel weak
say you're stronger than fear
But you have to believe
we're gonna make it there
If you think we're human
take a look once again
If you think we're human
where's the heart when we just look away
If you think we're human
you should think once again
If you think we're human
look at us it's time to make a change
and the question remains
Are we human
are we human
who are you man
who are you man
Are we human
are we human
Look at us it's time to make a change
Oo oo
Oo oo
Oo oo
Look at us it's time to make a change
If you think we're human
take a look once again
If you think we're human
where's the heart when we just look away
If you think we're human
you should think once again
If you think we're human
look at us it's time to make a change
and the question remains
Are we human
are we human
who are you man
who are you man
Are we human
are we human
Look at us it's time to make a change
