Oh Land - Human Error Lyrics






This is no hotel
This is no home
Just another bed where we sleep
Temporary home where we live

Listen to my voice now
Keeping my calm
Raising only questions
Didn't plan to give you this

My baby didn't ask for change
They say what you only need is strict routines
And my baby doesn't know the rules
He'll grow up missing me when he's not missing you

And why did I expect
That I had my life planned out perfect
Adding all the numbers correct
No missing digits, no real mistakes
Just human errors
Make human hearts break

This is no ending, this is no start
Just another day we get through
Hard to stay sane and stay true
Letting no judgment ring in my ears
Only the indifferent air
Silence only in here

My baby didn't ask for change
They say what you only need is strict routines
And my baby doesn't know the rules
He'll grow up missing me when he's not missing you

And why did I expect
That I had my life planned out perfect
Adding all the numbers correct
No missing digits, no real mistakes
Just human errors
Make human hearts break

I had my life planned out perfect
Adding all the numbers correct
No great win without heartbreak
Just human errors
Make human hearts change

    Oh Land - Human Error (Lyrics)

    [Verse 1]
    This is no hotel
    This is no home
    Just another bed where we sleep
    Temporary home where we live
    Listen to my voice now
    Keeping my calm
    Praising only questions
    Didn't plan to give you this

    [Refrain]
    Cause my baby didn't asked for change
    They say what you only need is straight routines
    And my baby doesn't know the rules
    He'll grow up missing me when he's not missing you
    And why did I expect that I had my life planned out perfect
    Adding all the numbers correct
    No missing digits, no real mistakes
    Just human error
    Make human hearts break

    [Verse 2]
    This is no ending, this is no start
    Just another day we get through
    I just stay sane and stay true
    Letting no judgment ring in my ears
    Only the indifferent air
    Silence only in here

    [Refrain]
    Cause my baby didn't asked for change
    They say what you only need is straight routines
    And my baby doesn't know the rules
    He'll grow up missing me when he's not missing you
    And why did I expect that I had my life planned out perfect
    Adding all the numbers correct
    No missing digits, no real mistakes
    Just human error
    Make human hearts break

    [Outro]
    Adding all the numbers correct
    No greater win without heartbreak
    Just human error
    Make human hearts change

    Oh, please try using your ears instead of just google! It's not "stay THE sane", because that doesn't make sense!!! It's "stay sane", because that's the thing you really need to focus on, when you think about the sorrow you inflict on your own child by divorcing his dad. And judgement doesn't "bring in your ears", it rings in your ears! Because so many people (including yourself) will try to place the blame on you.

    Y.... M....

    @Elisabeth Fabricius sorry for having a fucking typo...jezz. I transcribed this by myself but whatever. No need to be condescending, just point at the mistakes and I'll have it fixed.

    Y.... M....

    Elisabeth Fabricius U should have checked on google before typing that, cuz it’s fine on their. Also the fact that they made a mistake shows that they wrote it and didn’t press ctrl C ctrl V, it’s a human error. On the Internet people at least triple check before putting it out their for the whole world to see, it’s kind of their job for some people. This is also useful for me, a person not bothered to go search the lyrics up, so thanks.

    Y.... M....

    Acc why did I bother to type that

  23. M.... A....

    I loved it!!!!!!!!

  24. Y.... M....

    I almost broke down during the whole song but I couldn't help it when they took the piano, what a strong message given trought the visuals

  25. K.... J....

    Such a beautiful song.

  26. A.... K....

    Why is this still not on Spotify ???

    A.... K....

    It is now

  27. X.... ....

    My queen is back wow an icon ❤❤

  28. o.... ....

    spotify please :)

  29. A.... P....

    So beautiful. It's your heart, singing this song. Thank you, Nanna!

  30. P.... A....

    The lyrics make me think of the break-up of parents and the mom singing to the child:

    He‘ll grow up missing me when he’s not missing you.

    Maybe the parents have parted ways and she is wanting to apologize to this child for the chaos that‘s been brought into its life. At any rate, both the lyrics and the style of the video paint a picture of family instability. This is symbolozed by the abode (neither a hotel nor a home, but something in betweeen) being dismantled piece by piece whilst Nanna sings.

    Not saying that is necessarily happening in her own life—perhaps she is basing this song on a friend or family member and the hardships they are going through.

    She also seems to want to apologize to herself and to her former partner as well. They tried to do the best they could, but the „digits“ just didn’t add up. But they are not failures—they are human beings. The end of this melancholy song seems to offer some hope: if we have compassion for others as well as for ourselves, perhaps we can shift into a reality where we love and support one another, rather than point fingers and blame, even when our lives turn out completely different than we had planned. Heartbreak, pain, and ultimately forgiveness—I think every human being can relate to the emotions expressed in this song. Just beautiful!

    P.... A....

    She and her husband divorced a year ago, and they have a little boy, so this is very much her own experience. It hit me right in the feels, because I've experienced that too. I'm pretty much sure that many divorced parents like me will feel that this song expresses exactly how they feel.

  31. T.... W....

    No eoroer

  32. L.... ....

    love you

  33. y.... ....

    You will always be my queen 👑 so beautiful and meaningful

  54. A.... ....

    Nice video! Simple, but so cool. Oh Land is singing live better, than 99% of the rest on their best studio recordings!
    Can anybody tell me, why she is not as rich and famous as Lady Gaga, Madonna, Rihanna...?

    A.... ....

    I completely agree! Nanna is both talented and under-appreciated by the masses. I guess the general population cares more about being 'entertained' than seeking art of true value.

    A.... ....

    Because she doesn't use the formula on which most popsongs are built. If you want to know a little more about that, watch this video. It's very enlightening. https://youtu.be/oVME_l4IwII

  55. S.... S....

    OMG this is pure beauty such strong message

  56. M.... Y....

    I love you and your music!
