Alien
Cary Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Playing with parts too fragile in the ending
We have become alien, we have become alien
Give me a song that weighs a ton
We have become alien
Stop and we start, asking all the questions
Though we're unarmed, we fumble through the trenches
Taking apart all that we invented
We have become alien
We have become alien
Give me a song that weighs a ton
We have become alien
We played the part til comfort's gone
Now the only language is loss
The language of loss
We have become alien
We have become alien
Give me a song that weighs a ton
We have become alien
In "Alien," Cary Brothers sings about a relationship that has deteriorated beyond repair. He acknowledges that he never intended to break his partner's heart and that he played with parts that were too fragile. The couple has become alien to each other, unable to communicate or understand each other's needs. They stop and start conversations, asking questions and causing tension. They are fumbling through the trenches of their relationship, taking apart everything they have built.
In the chorus, Brothers repeats the phrase "We have become alien" as a way to acknowledge the divide that has formed between them. He pleads for a song that "weighs a ton," perhaps something that can bridge the gap between them, but it seems as though their relationship has reached a point of no return. In the bridge, Brothers sings that they played their part until comfort was gone, and now the only language they speak is the language of loss.
Overall, "Alien" is a poignant song about a relationship that has deteriorated beyond repair. The lyrics paint a picture of two people who are unable to bridge the gap between them, even though they are trying their best. Brothers' use of metaphors and poetic language adds depth and complexity to the song and makes it a poignant and emotional piece of music.
Line by Line Meaning
Breaking your heart was never my intention
I never wanted to hurt you
Playing with parts too fragile in the ending
We were dealing with delicate aspects that could not withstand any mishandling and could end disastrously
We have become alien, we have become alien
We are now strangers to each other
Give me a song that weighs a ton
Something powerful to connect with
Stop and we start, asking all the questions
We keep pausing and resuming - always questioning each other
Raising alarm, a symptom of the tension
Starting to worry, a sign of the pressure building up
Though we're unarmed, we fumble through the trenches
Even though we should have been ready, we stumble through the challenges
Taking apart all that we invented
We are dismantling everything we have built together
We played the part til comfort's gone
We pretended to be okay until we no longer felt at ease
Now the only language is loss
Our only mode of communication now is failure
We have become alien
We have become indifferent to each other
Give me a song that weighs a ton
Something strong to help me feel connected
We have become alien
We have become strangers to each other

CA BF with a GF, San Diego
And They See God
Talk To God.
Feel Good
It's God
Good
Good Good
Blessingness.
They have the answers to the star in the eye.
They see heart in worldly touchings.
Allah Aho
And In The Rhythms,
Dreams,
Delights And Streams,.
Eyes Call River Skies
What do we do?
Asked to be private
Asked to not speak about it
At all
Follow dream
Reach touch
Don't write it word for word
Don't even speak
And language runs anthems
In their conversations
Alaskan prairies
STARDUSTS SNOWFLAKES
SPIN their TIME RHYME AND MESSAGES
TANDEM
AND RHYTHM
AND SYMOHONIES
AS THE WATER SPEAKS THE AURAS OF THESE FLOWERS ...
THAT SOUL EACH
ARE THE STORY
