E.T.★
★Katy Perry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil, could you be an angel
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I'm floating, leaves my body glowing

They say be afraid
You're not like the others, futuristic lovers
Different DNA, they don't understand you

You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light

Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your love and fill me with your poison
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be a victim, ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien, your touch so foreign
Its supernatural, extraterrestrial

You're so supersonic
Wanna feel your powers, stun me with your lasers
Your kiss is cosmic, every move is magic

You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light

Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your love, and fill me with your poison
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be your victim, ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien, your touch so foreign
Its supernatural, extraterrestrial

There is this transcendental, on another level
Boy, you're my lucky star
I wanna walk on your wave length
And be there when you vibrate
For you I risk it all, all

Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your love and fill me with your poison
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be your victim, ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien, your touch so foreign
It's supernatural, extraterrestrial
Extraterrestrial, extraterrestrial





Boy, you're an alien, your touch so foreign
Its supernatural, extraterrestrial

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Katy Perry's song E.T. are about being enticed by an alien's otherworldly qualities. The opening lines depict the alien's hypnotic touch, which Perry questions whether it could be angelic or devilish. She adds that it feels like floating and leaves her body glowing. While some people might fear something that is different, the singer states that she's ready to go into the light and be taken into a completely different world, despite being told that the alien is different from anything she's ever known. Perry sings about wanting to be infected by the alien's love and filled with their poison, in a way that suggests being in a toxic but appealing relationship with someone.


The chorus repeats the phrase "extraterrestrial" several times, emphasizing the idea of the otherworldly nature of the song's central character. Perry is smitten by the alien's supernatural, vividly describing their powers as supersonic and magic. She says she wants to be on this entity's wavelength and be present when they vibrate. The song communicates that the singer is willing to risk it all for an entity, regardless of where it comes from.
