ALIEN

[INTRO] Somehow everything was different. Like a new person had emerged from me. I could see myself in a perspective that I'd never seen before. No inhibitions, no wounds. For the first time, I felt like I knew where I belonged, and nothing could stop me from being there. Nothing and yet everything felt real. The world was underneath me, around me, above me. I could see everything and everything could see me. It felt like, peace. And it goes like: [Verse] [Intro – soft spoken / breathy] I don’t think I was lost. Just misplaced. Like I arrived somewhere everyone else already understood. They moved naturally. I was translating. They called it home. I called it foreign. ⸻ [Verse 1] I stand in rooms but feel apart Smiling face, observant heart Every word lands slightly wrong Like I learned a different song Same sky stretching overhead Same ground underneath my steps But something in me always knew This world felt slightly askew ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I’m wired differently Maybe I’m meant to see From outside the frame Instead of inside the scene ⸻ [Chorus – airy, restrained] I’m an alien In familiar skin Breathing in But not fitting in I’m an alien Looking in Same world spinning But I’m not within ⸻ [Verse 2] Conversations pass me by I nod along, I don’t ask why Every laugh a beat too late Like gravity forgot my weight I don’t blame the world I see It just never mirrored me Not broken, not alone Just far from where I’m from ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I’m wired differently Maybe I’m meant to see From outside the frame Instead of inside the scene ⸻ [Final Chorus – slightly wider] I’m an alien In familiar skin Breathing in But not fitting in I’m an alien Looking in Same world spinning But I’m not within ⸻ [Outro – minimal] [very faint tone begins] If there’s something out there Calling me I haven’t heard it yet. [low distant signal tone fades in]
