This stuff is built upon Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion:
Wave seems to move horizontally across the open sea, but the molecules of water move actually vertically. How about us? Are we more like waves than permanent things like rocks or cars?
Think of an experience from your childhood. Something you remember clearly, something you can see, feel, maybe even smell, as if you were really there. After all, you really were there at the time, weren't you? How else would you remember it? The thing is. You weren't there! Not a single atom that is in your body today was there when that event took place. Matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes together to be you. Whatever you are, therefore, you're not the stuff of which you're made.
Technically some molecules of your bones might have been there, but anyways this stuff makes you think "The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn't have a space program."
- Larry Niven

We are nothing but a bubble of supermost consciousness. Which emerges and again merges into its own self or the supermost element. Silence in the beginning n silence in the end.

Yes , what are we ? We have no clue besides that we are a part of something bigger.We will probably never understand what we really are since whatever we will come up to will be a subjective perspective.
Basically we are life in a human form, but what is life ?

I once heard that we are souls "trapped" within a body, and that life is just a break from the "always" thing, death. Kinda confusing, sounds better in my head.

IMO .......... unless we accept who we are we will always have a question "who are we ?"
to a simple explanation for fertile minds is ........ first thing comes first i.e. accepting that whatever we are today is good for today on which the shadow of future is based but we sometimes get so engrossed in "the bigger meaning " that we seldom acknowledge the small meanings of our karma or say day to day life and thus miss the scenery , which i cannot say all of it is lost in transitions but only if we cultivate patience to wait for things to unfold as a direct effect of our collective karma/consciousness/wisdom /knowledge .
so in fact we are the reason for this universe to exist even if thought otherwise since the day we cease to exist the universe for us evaporates in terms of our personal perception . BUT this hypothesis goes awry when we learn that the part of consciousness never dies but stays on , also when science has come to realize in the past 200 years that energy can convert forms but never fades rather its chain of thoughts > matter > conscious> soul > spirit> life > death > thoughts to matter again or something else as a chain which once understood results in living freely and at the end we are the word "HUMANS"
peace n light
To focus sometimes you need to spin hard on your soul's axis..... just don't ask how and what it means ;)

To get good answers on this question, you first would have to clarify:
- What do you mean by "what"?
- What do you mean by "are"?
- What do you mean by "we"?
