Coldplay Humankind

“Humankind” is the 3rd track on Coldplay’s 9th studio album “Music of the Spheres.”

The song is from the perspective of an alien citizen on one of the planets in The Sphere, which is the setting of the album, who hears DJ Lafrique’s (the protagonist of the album) Alien Radio. Since music is banned in The Spheres, hearing music is strange but ultimately exhilarating for the alien citizen.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Today I heard the strangest
I heard the strangest song
(Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
A DJ a star away is
Playing it to turn us on
(Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
My heart started glowin’
I feel it inside, it is flowin’

[Chorus]
I say, I know, I know, I know
We’re only human
I know, I know, I know
How we’re designed, yeah
Oh, I know, I know, I know
We’re only human
But from another planet
Still they call us humankind

[Verse 2]
Today I had the strangest
Feelin’ that I belong
(Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
(Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Before I was dyin’
I feel it inside, now I’m flyin’

[Chorus]
I say, I know, I know, I know
We’re only human
I know, I know, I know
How we’re designed, yeah
Oh, I know, I know, I know
We’re only human
But from another planet
Still they call us humankind

[Interlude]
Oh
Alright

[Pre-Chorus]
Before I was dyin’
I feel it inside, now I’m flyin’

[Chorus]
I know, I know, I know
We’re only human
I know, I know, I know
How we’re designed
Oh, I know, I know, I know
We’re only human
But we’re capable of kindness
So they call us humankind
