about

Ever felt or been made to feel so different that it's as if you're an alien? This one's for you!

lyrics

Coming down
In a place unfamiliar
Coming down
Where I’m a stranger to you
‘Cause you don’t recognise me anymore
There’s a sign on up ahead
But I can’t work out what it says

And I feel like an alien
Falling through outer space
Being forced to move on again
Always being displaced
On a planet full of robots
And I’ve used up all my fuel
Without ever leaving home

Coming down
Where no-one’s any wiser
Coming down
Made to feel like an outsider
‘Cause you know where fear it often hides
There’s a place that’s safe for me
But it’s always out of reach

And I feel like an alien
Falling through outer space
Being forced to move on again
Always being displaced
On a planet of machines
And I’ve used up all my fuel
Without ever leaving home

Here we are at last
Where we’ve weaponised our words
With the hidden meanings
that echo ages past
And stretched across the sky
Where we’re all just setting suns
And the light is fading
But we never question why

Coming down
To a broken future
Coming down
From a state of euphoria
‘Cause you heard the lies but still believed
There’s a yearning for what we think we miss
But no good will come from this

And I feel like an alien
Falling through outer space
Being forced to move on again
Always being displaced
On a planet full of robots
And I’ve used up all my fuel
Without ever leaving home

Without ever leaving home
