A Symptom of Being Human Lyrics

I can still remember me and Miss November Rain
Beautiful and strange
Always so inclined, coloring outside the lines
Yeah, you were never on time

You've always been slightly awkward, kinda weird
Upside down and not all here
What's a-wrong with me and you is crystal clear

Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong
And the house is on fire and there's no alarm
And the walls are melting too
How about you?
I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all
'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball
And my friends are comin' too
How about you?
Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human

Unpack all your baggage
Hide it in the attic, where
You hope it disappears
This all seems so familiar
But it doesn't feel like home
It's just another unknown

You've always been slightly awkward, kinda weird
Upside down and not all here
Right a wrong, it's all so crystal clear

Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong
And the house is on fire and there's no alarm
And the walls are melting too
How about you?
I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all
'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball
And my friends are comin' too
How about you?
Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human

We're all just passing through
Passengers on a ship of fools
We're all just passing through
Passengers on a ship of fools

Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong
And the house is on fire and there's no alarm
And the walls are melting too
How about you?
I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all
'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball
And my friends are comin' too
On a ship of fools
Don't worry, it's all just a symptom
Of being human

What is the Meaning of A Symptom of Being Human?

In this lyrical rollercoaster, Shinedown takes us on a journey through the chaotic amusement park that is human existence. The song paints a picture of life as an unpredictable, often bewildering experience - being 'slightly awkward', feeling out of place, and attending the metaphorical 'lunatic ball'. It's about embracing our quirks and navigating through life's fiery challenges, all while acknowledging that we're just transient beings on this ship called Earth. So if you feel like your walls are melting, or you've found yourself at a party where sanity seems to have been left at the door - don't worry! According to Shinedown, it's just part of the package deal of being human.
