Puppet VS Dancer
I was hearing the song HUMAN of The Killers, and there is a sentence:

" Are we human or are we dancer ? "

But I saw in a translation that 'dancer' in this context is like a puppet, is it right ?

It seems that you are right.  "puppet" and "dancer" are not synonyms but in this case, this is what the songwriter means.
