They're Only Human {Lyrics} 

I love the double meaning of they're only human. REM sees it like 'only human they can't help it' and Ryuk sees it as 'they're only human, not worth anything'.

“Living everyday, till the day they die” Wow, the floor really is made of floor here

Can we talk about “Looking down from above, I’m intrigued by their love” like who played Rem she’s amazing

Although I love this version, Rem in the original Japanese song sings it so sad and melancholically. She finds humans pitiful. This version of Rem loves humans. She sounds fascinated by them and has faith in them. Rem has become an entirely different person.

"They're only human standing still. Doomed to live pushing boulders uphill."

I mistook the title for "theyre only human right?" And I thought it was someone trying to convince someone like murder was okay

"while we stay eternally bored." I don't know why thay lyric sounded so good to me. It's such a simple sentence yet it's so strong somehow and sends chills down your spine

"They will pray ,curse, live, die. Never knowing their truth is another men's lie" You never realize how much feeling that phrase has.

"Yes but even while blaming fate for the lives that they live they pray for the lives that they need" This line, is crazy, it is so strong. It describes oh so well so many belivers, no matter their religion.

2:20 i want her to sing this whole song solo this part was fantastic

Who came from the Good Omens animatic?

The timing is great and the lyrics are good, but it would be kind of nice for the two voices to be different colors or something like that

got to love theatre producers see a non musical and they say this needs to be set to music which results in this amazing number

the voice of rem is amazing

I can’t get over they’re beautiful voices!

Did I come here from a celestia ludenburg and Ishimaru drawing? Yes.

This would be perfect for the book of life

Ended up here accidentally through autoplay. Didn't even know a musical existed and.. I'm in love

Anybody else reminded of "Little Bit of Priest" from Sweeney Todd?

Ryuk] Look at how they crawl around Upon the ground Like little ants [Rem] Yes, but how they fascinate Confusing fate With what is merely chance [Ryuk] Isn’t it a laugh? [Rem] Isn’t it a shame? [Ryuk] Thinking there is someone in heaven to blame [Rem] Yes, but even while blaming fate for the lives that they lead They hope for the lives that they need [Ryuk] Living every day ‘til the day they die Never getting answers [Rem] Yet still asking why Going through the motions as if there will be a reward [Ryuk] While we stay eternally bored! [Both] They’re only human They don’t see Who they are is who they’ll always be Only human, after all [Ryuk] So they push and they shove [Rem] With this thing they call love [Both] ‘Til they fall! [Ryuk] Isn’t it a farce? [Rem] Isn’t it a waste? [Ryuk] Struggling to face what can never be faced [Rem] Yes, but maybe death can release something more than we share [Ryuk] I really don’t know and don’t care [Both] They’re only human Standing still Doomed to live pushing boulders uphill Only human, after all [Ryuk] So they give and they take [Rem] Hoping someone will help break their fall [Ryuk] They will pray, curse, live, die Never knowing their truth is another man’s lie [Rem] Eat, sleep, love, hate Like a leaf blowing in the wind [Ryuk] Watch them all vacillate! [Both] They’re only human They can’t see [Ryuk] All the years they could give you and me Only human, after all [Rem] So they give and we take [Ryuk] ‘Til their silly hearts break [Rem] Looking down from above I’m intrigued by their love [Ryuk] So let’s call! Hmmm, let’s call! Last Update: September,

Catch me makin OCs inspired by this oOp-

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS WAS FROM DEATH NOTE

my new favorite song

Being not a human, listening to this song gives me Chills 💜

I come back to this song everyday, WHY IS IT SO GOOD?!

This song is the monologue I have whenever I see humanity slip further.

"living everyday til the day they die" wow thank you for that life changing quote I never knew that

Of course Death Note has a musical. Of course it does.

Shame this isn't actually on Spotify :(

The song begins with two Shinigamis (gods of death), Ryuk and Rem talking about how pitiful humans are because of the pointless actions that they do such as “confusing fate with chance” and “blaming fate for their lives.” The Shinigamis point out that they do this because “they’re only human” and they can’t change. Now I have to research what the Shinigamis God's of death where about but the song makes more sense now because I read that the lyrics and Ryuk and Rem are making fun out of the human beings who had no care and selfish and greed. The more I study about the different God's who were considered the bad ones,,the more I respect them because they spoke the real Truth while the God in the Book of lies had hidden truth banned from people and if they had any written information about the truth, they were Executed, beaten and because they found the secret scrolls by accident and the Roman's killed them and his the secret truth is in the Vatican where its still hidden away to this day. They were scientists and about logic and truth too.

I just wanna point out the ending ryuk(I think thats who it is) says"let call..."as if hes looking for someone in particular

I love their voices. God bless you all 💓

Help I can't stop listening to this

Love how Ryuk sounds lowkey British in this version.

I haven't seen death note the musical but I can just see the actors doing a really badass waltz to this song for some reason

2:04 This- is the best part of the song. Fight me on this

I just came here for death note- 😂

I really like the shift from Ryuk's "They give and they take" to Rem's "They give and WE take", as well as their respective responses "hoping someone will help break their fall" and "'till their silly hearts break" showing how Ryuk considers humans worthless and even hilarious, being ultimately responsible and guilty of everything that happens to them while Rem feels saddened by how humans are unknowingly at mercy and in the hands of circumstances and external forces like shinigamis, only being able to rely on one another while Ryuk mocks how powerless they are against literally everything the universe throws at them

The beginning is always good

Why wasn’t this put in a movie because this was well made

This is SO GOOD

I can see the kindred spirits lamb and wolf singing this for some reason

Ima need someone to sing this with me in the Broadway showcase thing we do at my school-

this song is a bop

I know this is from Death Note- but this made me think about what if the girl had agreed to Beetlejuice and teamed with him I think the outcome would've been similar to this song lol (I never saw the movie/read the book so idk the name sorry)

K I already comments but gAwd I am in love with this songg

Whoever does the female vers sounds wonderful 😍

I know it's from the Death Note musical but dear god does this fit Lady Dimetrescu and Karl Heisenberg

Some duet played this at a school play, and I was impressed. The original is still good.

Damn, this song is good.

I think the last part he says "let's cull" not call. Cull makes more sense, it means to kill lots of people "to cleanse"

şarkıyla aşk yaşıyorum

Aliens when they see us

I thought they sang "till their shitty hearts break."

Oh my god it's so good

this is like two gods watching human since they are instincts and nature

Can someone tell me what is that instrument like Playing in the background between those for example lines in chorus: They don't see - Who they are is who they'll always be It kinda sounds like a flute or Something like this Please help, I know it sounds funny and dumb but 😭💀

I'm getting constant flashbacks from Ib OST right now oooohhhh

This is vibes of The Dragon Prince-

Haha! This is so perfect! Accurate af.

Nice

The guy: so they push and they shove My brain: aye sum ain't right

Rem: Charlie Mange Ryku: Alastor

When i hear this i think of a god of evil and a godess of hope and good but the god cursed her not to feel love and she sees humans inlove and she wants to feel it to but he dosent care at all. And she wants someone to breack her fall into madness

Don't mind, just timestamp for me 0:52

It really says alot doesn't it‽ Even for a lyrical kechy song…

1:52 Tommy Innit is that you!?!?

It works if you imagine two zombies talking and watching humans from a tall building

I do love the Shinigami songs ...

idk what this is from but im picturing these 2 as cat gods who used to live in Egypt but now look over modern humanity with shame and yet slight humour in the fact we still have cats

I dedicate this song to my shoulder angel and devil

this reminds me of Blue and Yellow Diamond from Steven Universe

this is just human lore to other creatures

The pure disdain and annoyance that Ryuk has vs Rem’s admiration and curiosity for humans and everything we are is such an interesting contradiction.

Wtf this was from death note? There was a musical? We talkin about the anime/manga death note right? Damn this got me off guard if it is.

*[Claps]*

I didnt know deathnote had a musical until i read the comments

I don’t know why but whenever I imagine this song I think of it as a waltz

I am 666th subscriber

Sound like a conversation between Dream and Death of The Endless.

Guys can you recommend songs like this ?

I just know that my friend in my source would have loved this song..

Death Note has a musical!?

Where’s this from? It sounds amazing!

Idk but ryuk on this reminds me of Crowley from good omens

I’m sad that there is no Real Love in The Death Note for all the versions they had released

1:34 SISYPHUS MOMENT!??!!

I'm just now finding out that Death Note has a musical. I feel so damn dumb 🤦

This song reminds me of a Russian song o-O

Now that it's a beautiful song never heard it but I do like it can the villain flare saying that song the female villains gorgeous the villains later all the nails and the females 👍👍🏾👍🏾🙂😘🤘👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋🙂🤗😘

2:34 ... Saul

I've heard another version of this, in English and this one is by far superior because even tho I've never watched an episode of death note, this singer SOUNDS like ryuk. The other one he comes off bored af

Video: Humans suck Humans: ahem... *No u*

Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond
