I’m Not Human (feat. Lil Uzi Vert)

XXXTENTACION's song 'I’m Not Human,' featuring Lil Uzi Vert, delves into themes of alienation, emotional detachment, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who feels fundamentally different from those around them, almost as if they are not human. This sense of otherness is expressed through metaphors and vivid imagery, such as feeling like the air around them is a cage and love being a camouflage for rage. These lines suggest a deep-seated feeling of entrapment and a belief that emotions like love are deceptive and potentially harmful.

The repeated refrain, 'I'm not a human,' underscores the protagonist's sense of isolation and detachment. This phrase is not just a literal statement but a metaphor for feeling disconnected from human experiences and emotions. The lyrics 'Pain's gon' come, I won't cry / Leave my heart out of it' further emphasize this emotional numbness and the desire to avoid vulnerability. The protagonist seems to be grappling with pain and suffering but chooses to distance themselves from these feelings, reinforcing their sense of being different or alien.

Lil Uzi Vert's verse adds another layer to this theme of alienation. He speaks of wanting to be on his own planet and feeling like he needs to find his home, which suggests a longing for a place where he truly belongs. The lines 'I'm tired of losin', inflicting my bruises, humans are users' highlight a sense of disillusionment with human relationships and interactions. This collaboration between XXXTENTACION and Lil Uzi Vert creates a poignant narrative about the struggles of feeling out of place and the emotional toll it takes.
