Orla Gartland - Human Lyrics






Oh, if I was the moon I would break all the rules
I would sail away into the dark
Not a ghost of a chance that I'd be coming back
Would I envy the sea?
Keeping secrets beneath
No one likes to be caught unaware
There's a plan in the deep take the ground from our feet

I don't need DNA
For a radioactive display
Am I lost in the day?

(You always remind me)
A skeleton can't bruise (oh, oh)
No blood for me to lose (oh, oh)
Where is the life I knew? (oh, oh)
Wish that I could be human
Wish that I could be human

I'm the face in the clock, nothing comes as a shock
Inner workings are hidden away
Keep on serving my time 'til the hour arrives

I don't need DNA
For a radioactive display
Am I lost in the day?

(You always remind me)
A skeleton can't bruise (oh, oh)
No blood for me to lose (oh, oh)
Where is the life I knew? (oh, oh)
Wish that I could be human

Starting to feel like a robot
Living without an identity
I wonder if I'll have permission?
I wonder if I am allowed to be?

A skeleton can't bruise
No blood for me to lose
Where is the life I knew?
(You always remind me)
A skeleton can't bruise (oh, oh)
No blood for me to lose (oh, oh)
Where is the life I knew? (oh, oh)
Wish that I could be human

Wish that I could be human
Wish that I could be human
Wish that I could be human
Wish that I could be human
(Human)
(Human)

    I only recently subbed, and this was the first thing I heard from you. You are an absolutely amazing singer, and I can't stop listening to this song, and basically everything else you have done. Your voice is amazing and beautiful and you should really have more subscribers! x

  42. F.... M....

    One of the most beautiful melodies I have ever heard (I don´t have enough words)

  43. j.... l....

    incredible song :)

  44. T.... W....

    I'm going to have to share the shit out of this

  45. X.... 3....

    Once upon a time, a girl got addicted to ALL OF ORLA'S MUSICCCCC!!!!!

  46. D.... ....

    If I had to choose between being the moon, the sea, a radioactive display, a skeleton, a clock, or a human, I would choose human. Being human is way better than being an inanimate object. DNA is the best!

  47. L.... R....

    I generally hate being ginger, and then looking at orla, I realize we're actually fricking awesome

  48. b.... ....

    Look Orla knows I love her. So why a I even typing this? Not sure but I guess I want all you guys to know too

    Hello Orla! I know you must get a lot of these, but I love your music and it has helped me get out of a lot of slumps of writer's block. Im an aspiring musician, and I may not have much of a chance but I'd love to work with you some day to make some songs together

  69. P.... ....

    Orla, you're so amazing :) Greetings from Bavaria :) We want a Concert in Bavaria ! :P

  70. M.... Z....

    May I ask what recording software you used?

  71. H.... P....

    is a tour through europe planned??????? :)

  72. m.... ....

    girl can sing

    m.... ....

    She can also write great melodies and great lyrics. 

  73. E.... ....

    Omg why does this only have like thirteen thousand views and songs where it's about a** shaking sex got millions of views. Will never accept and understand this,some people really need to open their eyes and start to think about what they are really listening to! They would realize how dumb and meaningless "music" they are listening to,especially the younger generation.
    Ps.: you are great orla,one of the most talentend songwriters i really love and appreciate. And thank you for being one from few singers that aren't just following that stupid kind of "music" where it's not only about that one thing. Had to be said,cause she is fantastic for doing that. You rock,girl!!:)




    writers i love and appreciate! And thank you

    E.... ....

    while i agree with you, you come off sounding like a jerk when you say 'especially the younger generation'. most of orla's fans are probably said generation. heck, isn't orla in a younger generation? she's only like 23 right?

  74. w.... ....

    This is a great tune.  I don't understand the choice of words for part of the lyrics, but it rhymed.  I would love a yellow wall version of all your tunes!

  75. H.... O....

    800th like! unreal! I would love to see you live :)

  76. d.... g....

    Lovely ;)

  77. S.... ....

    Such a great lyric video!! I love it!

  78. L.... W....

    This is so beautiful!!!

  79. I.... D....

    So standard but nice anyway. Cheers Orla!

  80. F.... J....

    This song is stuck in my head. I love it!

  81. J.... M....

    Another Awesome song :)

  82. c.... s....

    This song speaks to my heart. Can't stop listening to it. Breaking the lyrics down like that really makes you think about them. So true <3 "

  83. D.... ....

    One of the best lyric videos ever! Creative artists have creative fans.

  84. E.... L....

    Some of those skeleton drawings were amazing!

  85. R.... F....

    omg this is seriously my FAVOURITE SONG EVER :O bye bye Newton Faulkner ,,, Orla Gartland has taken over my favourite list :)

  86. H.... M....

    So many great photos!

  87. J.... P....

    Amazing!

  88. H.... W....

    I LOVE your songs, they're so touching and wonderful :) Listening non-stop.

  89. B.... B....

    OH thank you for including me in the video...  means so much!  xxx ooo's and all that other bs...  Now, if only you can make it truly international...  to break it across the pond young lady!

  90. S.... K....

    "take the ground from our feet" that's mine!!

  91. J.... B....

    Really good video, did you do all the drawings

  92. G.... C....

    such a lovely song x

  93. r.... ....

    Gosh you're good, I knew you could sing and play but the sound of this awwsome. Whoever produced it is a classy maestro. It's like a folk in an electric outfit. I'ma stunned. You're probably not human but I respect your longing to be one of us:) but you'd loose some abilities in the process.

  94. A.... ....

    Awesome vid!! Great song!

  95. G.... M....

    On the video it say its track 4 on roots EP but in the info it say its track 3 ????

  96. C.... B....

    nice to see you got back to your acoustic style. this is where youre best at imo :)

  97. R.... ....

    Apart from the amazing Artworks, the song is absolutly amazing and has the potential to go viral.
    Good luck to you Orla, you will come out big! :)
