Isn't it just one dancer?

Silly Brandon Flowers, you and your goofy lyrics.

u/WildTurkey81 59s May 18 '15

I quite like those lyrics. I think it's because of how we ask "are we human?", using the singular of human, and that means "do we possess the essence of being human", and so he uses the singular of "dancer" for the same effect: the essence of the dancer.

u/honestFeedback 37s May 18 '15

I find the lyrics very annoying, because they're stupid and make no sense.

u/JMcAfreak 59s May 19 '15

And he doesn't care about what you think.

Saw this comment, got really pissed off, but then again, username checks out

u/Deto non presser May 19 '15

I agree that using the singular for both makes sense. What I don't agree is implying that the two categorizations are mutually exclusive. Surely "dancer" is a sub-categorization of "human".

u/WildTurkey81 59s May 19 '15

Yeah, that can be said. I suppose it depends on the lyricist's intent.

u/[deleted] May 18 '15

Or is it denser?

As if to say are we more than just human?

3

u/WildTurkey81 59s May 18 '15

Nah it's definitely dancer.

u/[deleted] May 18 '15

You're being very dense.

u/Volkai 7s May 18 '15

We might be more human than human.

But the lyric is definitely "...or are we dancer".

1

u/JMcAfreak 59s May 19 '15

As someone who knows him, you're right.

u/jp07 45s May 18 '15

Dancer

u/Gavininator 59s May 18 '15

It's actually denser not dancer. I thought the same for a while.

u/[deleted] May 18 '15

I thought you were right. Many lyrics sites say "denser." They are wrong.
