The Killers are amazing because not only are their songs good, there is some much meaning that comes with them. There is much more under the surface than we realize. I don't know the meaning of all of them but for this one I like the interpretation I found here - http://www.lyricinterpretations.com/The-Killers/Human by kirvinki :
I think this song is about a generation of people who cannot stand up and take responsibility/control of their lives as they should. We do see "open doors" and opportunities, however we do not know how to use them. "cut the cord" We are a generation , or even a smaller smaller group of individuals, and we all understand and have morals, virtues, and great faith in each of us. We were taught by our parents and upbringing everything we needed to survive in life. But as children of the 80's, 90's, we saw the world change drastically. And this is where we have no answers. We know we are human, but we feel like dancers. Dancers have a short shelf life. We do not know what the future holds there is no message we're recieving "let me know, is your heart still beating" To me, it asks how long will we have this planet that we call home.
