Voltaire - Almost Human Lyrics






What did I ever do to you
That you should treat me this way?
Is it really such a crime
For an angel to speak his mind?
Anytime I'll try to shed some light
If I were a big boy
I wouldn't cry
But since I'm not a big boy
I'll have to cry

What did I ever do so wrong
That you should cast me from grace
Though I love to rule in Hell here
How I miss the taste of Heaven
Its soft and cool embrace
If I were a big boy
I wouldn't cry
But since I'm not a big boy
I'll have to close my eyes
And picture what it's like

I'm just like you
I'm made by He
Despised by they
I'm almost me
I'm nearly human
Look at me
I'm almost a human being

I'm just like you
I'm made by He
Despised by they
I'm almost me
I'm nearly human
Pity me
I'm almost a human being

I still remember your light
And it was streaming down
And burning out my eyes
If I were a big boy
I wouldn't cry
But since I'm not a big boy
I'll have to close my eyes
And picture what it's like

I'm just like you
I'm made by He
Despised by they
I'm almost me
I'm nearly human
Look at me
I'm almost a human being

These tears are real
I'm jealousy
I'm spite and hate
To the core I'm mean
I'm nearly human
Look at me
I'm almost a human being

I'm just like you
Better than He
To Hell with they
I'm almost me
I'm nearly human
Pity me
I'm almost a human being

Don't touch me, oh
I couldn't bear the thought of it, now
Don't touch me, oh
I couldn't bear the strain
Don't touch me, oh
I couldn't bear the thought of it, now
Touch me
Touch me
Touch me
Don't touch me
Touch me
Touch me

Voltaire Almost Human Comments
  1. B.... ....

    I'm going to cry if none of these songs are in the next Lucifer series

  2. C.... ....

    Sorry for the dislike... Had to make it 420.

  3. C.... K....

    Maze: Hey Lucifer! You gotta listen to this! This guy nailed it!

  4. M.... ....

    This is the perfect song to represent my character.

  5. Z.... J....

    It's absolutely unrelated but this song speaks to me as a transgender man

  6. c.... d....

    if satan had a villain song

  7. D.... G....

    Lucifer sings this.

  8. t.... ....

    I feel like this song was inspired by one of Crowley's drinking binges

  9. C.... S....

    Hit that thumbs up if you still go hard with Voltaire in 2019. You Godless savages !!!!!✌👇⚡

  10. A.... ....

    OH MY SWEET GUN!!!
    What, if in next ep. Duke will wanna sing this during dance with Missi, and he will also wanna take his... Power stick? XD

  11. T.... ....

    Makes me think of Ryo in Devilman

  12. c.... ....

    who thinks this will be the song for part 6 of the vampire story made by Daria Cohen

  13. A.... S....

    A fallen angel doesn't necessarily mean Satan... Just saying... Also metaphors about "falls from Grace" are a thing..... Anyways, this song touches me more than I probably should.

    A.... S....

    This is actually very, very heavily talking about Lucifer. A few references: a crime for an angel to speak his mind, I'll try to shed some light, cast from grace, rule in hell, despised by they (humans), being jealousy, spite, and hate. There are a lot more subtle things throughout the song as well, but those were the ones that popped out when I casually listened to it the first time.

    That said, this song doesn't have to relate to only Lucifer. The listener will ultimately create their own meaning regardless. I personally am using this song for inspiration for the main villian of one of my stories.

  14. H.... B....

    This song would make a great ice skating dance soundtrack

  15. t.... ....

    Is this about a certain demon who didn't fall so much as saunter vaguely downwards?

  16. S.... L....

    What the HELL??? It's like if Disney made a satanic album lol

  17. m.... l....

    When your friend group basically kicks you out and take their fair share of spitting on you...

  18. x.... N....

    Humans:There is no hope in a world without God
    Voltaire:Hold my beer

  19. A.... L....

    244-7-8-6—8-2-3-2-25–2:44-8-2-

  20. G.... ....

    Is it only me that think this song really suits Crowley from Good Omens?

    Edit: 2019 anyone?

    G.... ....

    Hshshsh yes

    G.... ....

    Yes it fits*

  21. O.... A....

    Almost human? My condolences, being human is a dreadful thing. Many evils to be had though.

  22. S.... ....

    A few errors, 1. "I'm jealous see?" (Not "jealousy") and and 2. "don't touch me I could bear the "strain" of it", not ("strength").

    S.... ....

    Thats helpful! Thanks

  23. S.... D....

    This comment section is toxic, why don't we all get along, here have a beer 🍺

  24. S.... t....

    I hate it when you even hint at feeling sympathy for Satan and people are all like "YOU FRICKIN' FRICK!!!! EVILLLLL!!!!" and call a goddamn exorcist. I mean for Christ's sake it's pretty corrupt that we DON'T HEAR BOTH SIDES!!!! Here both sides of the conflict before you side. (Btw I'm atheist, I just felt like saying this.)

  25. F.... F....

    Lucifer is not a big boy confirmed

  26. A.... A....

    Paradise Lost musical?

    A.... A....

    Avid Arois omg omg yes yes yes I would pay good money to watch that

  27. S.... R....

    It took me way to damn long to realize this was about Satan. I played it around my Christian family too ;-;

    S.... R....

    Shadow Rose the rule in Hell part didn’t make you think? XD anyway bet that was a fun day lol

  28. S.... T....

    Been listening to Voltaire for almost a decade. This is probably the first comment I have ever posted on a song of his. This makes me very sad.

  29. A.... D....

    Theme of all sociopaths.

  30. K.... w....

    Theme of all androids.

  31. A.... C....

    Esta canción le pegaría muy bien a "el jorobado de Notredame" life action :3

  32. C.... m....

    I'm touched

  33. F.... L....

    WHO TOUCHA DA CHILD?!
    (Everyone points up)

  34. M.... L....

    Shall we have someone play you the world’s smallest violin and go cry your self a ocean Lucifer (ps I’m not that much of religious guys but I think some people can all agree is that we had enough of shit Lucy)

  35. T.... C....

    Dad? Dad is that you?! (Jk)

  36. A.... M....

    Poor Satan. Ouch.

  37. A.... N....

    It sounds like tango music somewhat, my favorite song is when your evil by Voltaire

  38. S.... C....

    The devil is supposed to be handsome as fuck right, so would hell even be that much of a punishment wih him there... im just saying.

  39. S.... B....

    Yknow, Lucifer is literally the most relatable angel ever towards humans even if he is a fallen one.
    He was cast out, shunned And even imprisoned and just disowned by his dad to his favorite son, and effectively demonized for all eternity because of his own beliefs. And apparently just for speaking his mind, Which can be seen as rebellion by parents mostly when their dealing with a teenager. Which shows that even angels can fall under the "Not everyone's perfect saying."

  40. S.... S....

    I really relate to this song rn, I’m struggling to meet my parents standards for me, and I’m getting bullied, my parents say it’s because I’m not normal enough, and it’s really dehumanizing.
    I’m almost good enough meet their expectations and not get bullied, I’m almost human . . . Almost

    S.... S....

    Snickering Snake I can relate to this
    You’re not alone

  41. H.... P....

    The comment's section on this video is basically a group therapy session for Satan, and it's kind of cool

  42. H.... P....

    Okay, I know I'm going to be attacked for this comment, but in my absolute honest opinion, Lucifer didn't deserve to be kicked out of Heaven. I think God took the power he had, and used Lucifer as an excuse to show the angels he was in charge, don't stand up against him.
    Lucifer may have been too proud to bow to Adam, or even jealous of humans because God loved them more, or maybe he was punishing the humans against God's will. Maybe he even saw the evil in human hearts, and believed God had made a mistake creating them, thus causing a civil war and divide, etc. etc.
    The thing is, was God in the right? Look at humans. Look at us. We're stupid and disgusting and literally kill our own children, brothers, friends, people we don't even know, for the dumbest reasons. If Jesus is real, then we are further from him now than we ever have been. In many versions of the story of Lucifer, if not almost all, humans were the ultimate issue that led to Lucifer's fall. That's why he hates us, punishes us and (depending on your faith) tries to tempt us and lead us from God.

    And my final point is, even if God wasn't completely right, even if Lucifer broke and wanted to go home, even if he broke down in tears and apologized and begged his father to take him back, would he really be forgiven? Many faiths consider him the ultimate sinner, and many faiths (especially the Jesus ones) believe even if you're a sinner, if you ask for forgiveness and truly want it, you will receive it. Would God be that forgiving to the ultimate sinner, the angel that fell, the one who would need it the most?

    That's just my opinion. I'm not hating on any religions. By all means, believe what you wish. Don't turn your back on your God. I just thought I'd give some food for thought.

  43. S.... ....

    I swear I'm not a satanist
    *nervous sweating*

  44. s.... a....

    If I cannot move Heaven, I shall raise Hell
    -Sebastian Morgenstern

  45. T.... ....

    What does "despise by they" refer to here?

    T.... ....

    Don't Call Me Shurley “they” refers to humanity I think

  46. T.... L....

    My first girlfriend introduced me to this & my wife has a book of his

  47. F.... ....

    This should be in the show lucifer

  48. J.... L....

    Here’s my thinking, ignorance is bliss, angels have free will that’s why there are fallen angels(demons), and since Satan wants us to enjoy his punishment too, he would love to corrupt as many people as he can before he is stuck in hell forever.

  49. C.... K....

    Who came here cause of the missi and the duke

  50. o.... ....

    Here's a disturbing thought: Adam and Eve sinned by eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. It says that when they ate the fruit, they knew good and evil and were expelled from Paradise as a result. Lucifer, an angel, never ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. Angels are allowed in Heaven because they don't have sin in their hearts, but if sin comes from knowing the difference between right and wrong and being able to do wrong, where did the Devil get that knowledge from, let alone the ability? Perhaps Lucifer's rebellion was engineered from the beginning by God, who created him with the ability to rebel for the explicit purpose of having a fall guy to toss into Hell.

    Perhaps Lucifer is unable to control or comprehend his actions. Like a dog, perhaps he has no real sense of right and wrong and only knows that he's being punished by his master, perhaps merely for acting in the way his master created him to act.

    Imagine being in the Devil's position, not knowing why you're cast out of Heaven or why your creator is mad at you, only knowing that you were and that now you're in the eternal position of the heel in God's cosmic wrestling match.

    o.... ....

    ometta7 the joker and I are impressed with your theory but we have to tell you he doesn’t question why he expected and now all he can do is sit there laughing and crying begging for attention because he knows he’s the bad guy but that doesn’t mean he’s the baddest guy because if he was then the worst thing you can do is question god and we all know there is far more evil in this world so do him a favor and laugh right alongside him we do and it’s helped us se the punchline

  51. V.... ....

    I don't care for religion,but i really like to listen to all the different stories from all the different mythologies,and this song is pretty good by itself.

    ((The ppl that do the Supernatural TV show really should at least make a lil reference to this song in some episode that Lucifer is on))

  52. e.... p....

    Love the song But the last part kind of sexual

  53. T.... O....

    This is the song Daria Cohen is using for chapter 4.

    T.... O....

    It's actually for part 3.5

    T.... O....

    @Bubinka Edits really? I thought it was chapter 4.

  54. A.... N....

    There are naïve/happier Voltaire songs. (E.G Cannibal Buffet), then there are these Voltaire songs.

  55. M.... N....

    It does make me think a lot about the serial Lucifer, which is a great one !

  56. E.... S....

    Tbh now that I think about it this song mirrors my life pretty well
    Since I’ve been treated as inhuman bc of my autism and my parents are horribly transphobic
    Every time I try to be honest about myself I’m told that it’s not good enough, not true etc
    Most of the time idk if I even am human anymore *cries*

  57. H.... U....

    Can't Wait For Halloween :)

  58. Y.... Y....

    uwu How are u

  59. K.... ....

    My theme song

  60. L.... ....

    Pity me I'm almost a human bean!

  61. B.... ....

    Human bean.

  62. V.... G....

    Love this💕

  63. �.... �....

    Бл*ть, как же это ахуенно.

  64. z.... ....

    This song fits Donald Trump, a possible reincarnation of Hitler.

  65. M.... ....

    I'm thinking this is next chapter in Vampair

  66. E.... ....

    BIG BOI
    FOR YOU

  67. R.... R....

    Vive Satan Lucifer and all this good buddies whome are open minded not like christians against homo against everything or everubody so Heil Satan

  68. L.... J....

    is this lucifer on fox

  69. b.... s....

    Lately I've been reading Megamind fanfics , a teenage Megamind could relate to this song in plenty of parts.

  70. S.... R....

    Considering these comments, is it bad that I can relate to this?

  71. E.... S....

    Everyone’s talking about Lucifer in the comments but honestly this song just reminds me of Talion from Shadow of War

  72. K.... M....

    I swear this should be played to anyone who questions why villains are often more appealing then the heros.

  73. K.... S....

    This inspired my new comic series! Thank you!

  74. R.... L....

    Kinda sounds like a mix of The Smiths and Oingo Boingo

  75. C.... ....

    I wonder if he's a vampire

  76. T.... ....

    Makes me feel so bad for the devil

  77. A.... ....

    I really wonder if that song wasn't written by Lucifer himself before his death ...
    Damian was supposed to 'put the Hell back into the Greater Game' in '02 ... Then what, four years where both sides keep pretending to fight while changing the rules and Bob (I guess) cutting both Heaven and Hell from Earth leaving us with those crazy Dominic and Andromalius.
    I miss good old times. Now killing and raping isn't much fun anymore.

  78. C.... H....

    CASTIEL'S SONG ! #Supernatural

    C.... H....

    Clara Hubert that show is still a thing?

    C.... H....

    Of course ! This isn't over and it won't be until a long time, it's still really really good, the best show I've ever watch

    C.... H....

    sorry what ?

  79. H.... 6....

    Can someone do a Lucifer style video with this song I think it would go very well together

  80. N.... F....

    Some speculation that this might be the next song for Daria Cohen’s clips as part of her series. It was already confirmed it would be a Voltaire song, and from what I can tell it makes sense with how Duke got beat lol. Anyone have anything to add ?

    N.... F....

    Not Funny may not be valid anymore

  81. P.... ....

    This kinda reminds me of Crowley at the end of SPN season 9 when Sam gives him purified blood.

  82. K.... H....

    Lucifer was in the right .God tryed to kill all humanity

    K.... H....

    He didn't just try, he did in Revelation. Granted that's a future event.

    K.... H....

    Led Floyd whether that future event actually happens is also another thing that’s on the table as well.

  83. W.... ....

    I want to hear this in spn.

  84. P.... G....

    The Phantom of the Opera. All I have to say.

    P.... G....

    Omg! I was thinking the same!
    Poor Erik...
    A fellow phan here :)

  85. L.... M....

    Sometimes sounds like Bowie. :) Like it.

  86. A.... N....

    I always thought Voltaire was French, (not because of the accent, but his name is based off of Francois Marie-Arouet, A.K.A Voltaire, a French Enlightenment Thinker.) I found out he wasn't after a quick Google search.

  87. C.... H....

    CASTIEL'S SONG

  88. O.... ....

    Am i the only one who thinks about Game of Thrones intro when hearing this song?

  89. L.... y....

    I took the final part of the chorus "pity me im almost a human being." as him not wanting to be anything related to a human.

    L.... y....

    Well we are in the image of the father that cast him out. ;p

  90. L.... C....

    Comment Section:
    99 percent: comments Talking like philosophers.
    1 percent: Comments about the song

  91. S.... O....

    This would be a perfect song for chapter 4 of the series with the duke and missy.

  92. p.... ....

    This song asks a good question.
    "Is it really such a crime for an angel to speak his mind?"
    Because that's what Lucifer was punished for. He, out of all the angels, questioned God.

    p.... ....

    @Krissie Holloway Yes this is true it dsnt really make him wrong though, kinda makes the story even more disbelievable though due to our knowledge of yahwehs practically unlimited power and satan knowing this... Obviously its a story made to explain who they blame for evil and what their god is capable of.

    p.... ....

    Ooooh, ok. Makes more sense now

    p.... ....

    As far as I know from one of my friends who read a lot of stuff about these. Satan and Lucifer are two different people.
    Satan is the equal of god, who rule in hell above the demons. But can't go neither to heaven neither to earth just like god.
    Lucifer was an angel who wanted equal rights and free will to himself ald the other angels so he was banished from heaven and sent to hell with all the 666 supporter of him. So currently he's in hell not ruling it, just leading his fallen angels trying to fight with the demons who hate angels (even fallen ones) and has a hatred in his hearth against god and humans. (agains humans it's more of an envy)

    p.... ....

    @András Kovács Actually I have recently educated myself more in religion so I had more knowledge and could give my family a straight answer when they ask me what religion I study if it isn't Christianity. Lucifer actually never was an angel of God until recently, and the angel that was sent down from heaven was Satan himself. Satan is not the opposition of God but under his employment until prophecies are fulfilled and he is defeated by Micheal. If I'm honest He'll isn't even in the Old Testiment, it's just a product of the church. So father BS has lurched its way into manipulating people yet again. Now this is not to say that I don't have other beliefs due to my religious choice, this just means I'm obsessed with a deity that rules a land that was created by man himself.

    p.... ....

    @Krissie Holloway I see. As I said I wasn't sure about what I said I just wrote what I remembered hearing half a year ago. But thanks for telling me that. It's always nice to learn new things.

  93. A.... V....

    i singed this at a church

    A.... V....

    how did they reply?

    A.... V....

    That was a joke, But they would definetly be surprised LOL (the people of my church)

    A.... V....

    BUT, I AM PLANING TO DO THIS SOMEDAY !

  94. O.... M....

    Isn' it dangerous to make Satan not only sympathic, but also tragic. Of course it's human to try to familiarize with everything we don't understand.
    What annoys me is the wrong picture people can get then...😯

    O.... M....

    +Rick As I am tired, and not sure to understand clearly what you're positing, I will just say this: even an adult can feel "alienated" by these things that our grand-mothers warn us about. The world is so rotten that it is to wonder if you really should laugh at anything.

    O.... M....

    But it raises an interesting question. The morality of otherworldly beings cant really be explained by humans yet we're told by humans who 100% think they know what they are and how they think. Its interesting concept that makes you think if anything.

    O.... M....

    Dauragon Yae Otsutsuki but who are we really to understand this? We already have so much to struggle in our understanding of our current world...

    O.... M....

    Olivier Marti it's hard to answer that it'd be like trying to understand why Daedra do what they do. It's why I gravitated toward being agnostic I don't have the answers neither do all these religious people etc. hell we barely understand our own world like you said or even our universe. There may be aliens out there and we don't even know that.

    O.... M....

    +Dauragon Yae Otsutsuki most importantly now, I would say, are our own lifes.

  95. D.... W....

    PFF! RUDE!

  96. J.... ....

    *breathes in the comment section*
    MMMMMMM
    *breathes out the comment section*
    Edge.

  97. S.... B....

    Who is Voltaire referring to whrn he says"despised by they?"

    S.... B....

    probably humans, the other angels, or both.

    S.... B....

    Dauragon Yae Otsutsuki Thanks, I thought so too, but I couldn't be sure

  98. S.... S....

    Leave it to voltair to make the sexiest modern Tango. Why hasn't he ever done voice acting? Seriously Volty you have got to get in some anime.

  99. C.... P....

    This song sound like if Lucifer would talk to god about his condition, his feeling to be misunderstanding by his father, so "big boy". He seem jealous and disgusted. The wrath against human being to be "more leved by god" instead him..

  100. S.... B....

    To be fair I do understand why Lucifer didn't wanna bow down to humans, why would anyone bow down to violent miserable hateful assholes who can't even get along with each other. and can barely even share the earth with their fellow humans, and even kill each other but people blame "satan" for that, Think also about this, god created everything correct and lucifer(said to be god's favorite) exactly the way he is, in a way he is (besides the whole angel thing.) hes was just like us, he wasn't perfect but he was cast out to hell. I mean dude, imagine how'd you feel if your dad cast you out, and favored another child more.

    S.... B....

    I'm not catholic, was just sharing my thoughts on it

    S.... B....

    Sounds like something Loki would do because his father favored his brother Thor, or their sister.
