Lyrics
Looking from the inside you feel
Feeling disconnected from the external world
Nothing on the outside is real...
Doubt about the reality of the external world
Does it really show?
Questioning whether this disconnection is evident to others
All the other kids put you down
Experiencing rejection from peers
No one ever wants you around
Constantly being excluded by others
No one want's an alien...
Expressing that nobody desires someone different or unconventional
Never ever thought you could feel
Surprised by the possibility of feeling anything
'Cause everything around you stands still
Feeling like everything else remains static
But will they ever know?
Questioning whether others will understand these emotions
Dreaming of a place far away
Desiring a distant place, feeling out of place where one is born
Know that you were born here a stray
Acknowledging not fitting into the normative environment
Does it really show?
Reiterating concerns about being perceived as different
Can't make it playing their games
Unable to succeed in conforming to societal expectations and norms
When everyone plays it all the same
Observing everyone conforming to the same patterns
No one wants an alien
Reinforcing the theme of societal rejection of what's different
Never ever thought you could feel
Surprised by the potential to experience emotions
'Cause everything around you stands still
Perception of a stagnant, unchanging environment
But will they ever know?
Questioning whether there's understanding of internal struggles
Looking from the inside you feel
Reiterating the feeling of internal disconnection
Nothing on the outside is real
Doubting the authenticity of the external world
Does it really show?
Querying whether this internal disconnection is evident externally
The vision keeps coming at you still
Continued perception of an overwhelming, persistent vision
'Cause something deep inside you is real
Recognition of an authentic inner self amidst the disconnection
But will they ever know?
Questioning whether others will recognize this authentic self
Never ever thought you could feel
Surprised by the potential to feel emotions
'Cause everything around you stands still
Perception of a static, unchanging environment
No one wants an alien
Reinforcing the societal rejection of those perceived as different
