What does "Are we human? Or are we dancers?" mean?
understand what this line actually means. Is it just jabberwocky? or is
there something behind it?

The inspiration for the lyrics was from a Hunter S. Thompson quote - ‘We’re raising a generation of dancers’.
The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers came out in an MTV interview to confirm his lyrics, which is in fact “are you human, or are you dancer?”. He wasn’t too happy when some people thought it was “denser” instead. He was quoted as saying “They think it’s nonsense. But I was aching over those lyrics for a very long time to get them right.“
He acknowledged that the lyrics aren’t grammatically correct, but he also commented that he is also allowed to do what he wants.

The thing about the lyric writer trying to dictate the meaning is funny, because lyrics, like poetry, are going to be interpreted by everyone who hears them and nothing the lyricist says about his intended meaning will ever make a difference.

I think jeff's answer speaks to the true origin of this, but I think this is one possible interpretation aside from that.
