I am a alien
No matter how hard I try I don't fit in
Always all on my own, sad and lonely
All I want is for someone to play with me

Long ago I was a little girl yeah I was never ever able to fit in
My teachers at school would try to tell me what to do but, yo I would never listen
'Cause I was high all the time, stoned out of my little fucking mind
Misunderstood, lost and confused looking for a sign
All the popular kids at school were always super mean to me and made me cry
I never knew what I should do so I just walked away and said "Fuck off and die"
They said that I'm weird, that I'm ugly, and that I suck
I knew that one day all of those kids would grow up to be boring as fuck

I am a alien
No matter how hard I try I don't fit in
Always all on my own, sad and lonely
All I want is for someone to play with me
I am a alien
No matter how hard I try I don't fit in
Always all on my own, sad and lonely
All I want is for someone to play with me

I close my eyes and float into the night I like to let my mind drift
Make a jump into a new dimension
Thank God I got that gift
Ever since I was a little kid
Always on that next shit
These whack copycat ball bags can suck my motherfucking dick
Sometimes it feels like coming from this planet people are so sick and twisted
I don't wanna fit in anyway, I'd rather be a misfit
Fuck a normal life, that's lame, me I'm insane in the brain
They laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at them because they're all the same

I am a alien
No matter how hard I try I don't fit in
Always all on my own, sad and lonely
All I want is for someone to play with me
I am a alien
No matter how hard I try I don't fit in
Always all on my own, sad and lonely

The song further illustrates the singer's experiences with bullying and ridicule, and how she dealt with them by embracing her individuality and rising above the negativity.

The singer encourages the listener to embrace their uniqueness and reject conformity, urging them to be proud of who they are even if others cannot understand or accept them.

Перевод
Я чужая,
Независимо от того, насколько сильно я стараюсь, я не соответствую,
Всегда сама по себе, грустная и одинокая,
Все, чего я хочу, чтобы кто-то поиграл со мной

Давным-давно я была маленькой девочкой, да, я никогда не соответствовала,
Мои учителя в школе пытались объяснить мне, что делать, но, эй, я никогда их не слушала,
Потому что я все время летала в облаках, обкуренная до бессознательного состояния,
Непонятая, потерянная и смущенная в поисках знака,
Все популярные дети в школе всегда были очень злы ко мне и заставляли меня плакать,
Я никогда не знала, что делать, так что я просто уходила и говорила: «Отвали и сдохни»
Они говорили, что я странная, что я урод, что я отстой,
Я знала, что в один прекрасный день все эти дети вырастут и станут ужасно скучными

Я чужая,
Независимо от того, насколько сильно я стараюсь, я не соответствую,
Всегда сама по себе, грустная и одинокая,
Все, чего я хочу, чтобы кто-то поиграл со мной
Я чужая,
Независимо от того, насколько сильно я стараюсь, я не соответствую,
Всегда сама по себе, грустная и одинокая,
Все, чего я хочу, чтобы кто-то поиграл со мной

Я закрываю глаза и плыву в ночи, мне нравится, когда мой разум плывет по течению,
Делаю прыжок в новое измерение,
Слава Богу, у меня есть этот дар,
С тех пор как я был маленьким ребенком,
Всегда в этом дерьме,
Эти неисправимые чертовы подражатели могут отсосать,
Иногда кажется, что люди с этой планеты настолько больны,
В любом случае, я не хочу быть похожей на них, я лучше буду чудачкой,
В жопу нормальную жизнь, это чушь, я безумна,
Они смеются надо мной, потому что я другая, я смеюсь над ними, потому что они все одинаковые

Я чужая,
Независимо от того, насколько сильно я стараюсь, я не соответствую,
Всегда сама по себе, грустная и одинокая,
Все, чего я хочу, чтобы кто-то поиграл со мной
Я чужая,
Независимо от того, насколько сильно я стараюсь, я не соответствую,
Всегда сама по себе, грустная и одинокая,
Все, чего я хочу, чтобы кто-то поиграл со мной

Letra en Español:

Soy un alienígena
No importa cuanto lo intente, nunca podré encajar
Estoy por mi cuenta,
Triste y sola
Todo lo que quiero es que alguien juegue conmigo

Hace tiempo era una pequeña niña, sí, nunca fui capaz de encajar
Mis maestros en la escuela intentaban decirme qué hacer, sí, yo nunca los escuché

Porque estaba drogada todo el tiempo, drogada fuera de mi pequeña mente

Incomprendida, perdida y confundida, buscando una señal
Todos los chicos populares de la escuela eran súper malos conmigo y me hacían llorar
Nunca supe qué hacer, así que solo me alejaba y decía "Púdranse y muéranse"
Decían que soy rara, que soy fea y que soy una perdedora
Yo sabía que un día todos esos niños crecerían para ser más aburridos que la mierda

Soy un alienígena
No importa cuanto lo intente, nunca podré encajar
Siempre por mi cuenta, triste y solitaria
Todo lo que quiero es que alguien juegue conmigo

Soy un alienígena

No importa cuanto lo intente, nunca podré encajar
Siempre por mi cuenta, triste y solitaria
Todo lo que quiero es que alguien juegue conmigo

Cierro mis ojos y floto hacia la noche, me gusta dejar mi mente a la deriva
Salto a una nueva dimensión
Gracias a Dios tengo ese don
Desde que soy una niña pequeña
Siempre he estado al siguiente nivel
Todos esos copiones de mierda pueden chupar mi maldito pene
A veces parece que venir de este planeta hace a la gente enferma y retorcida
No quiero encajar de todos modos, prefiero ser una incomprendida
A la mierda una vida normal, eso es aburrido, estoy loca de la cabeza
Ellos me aman porque soy diferente
Yo me rio de ellos porque son todos iguales

Soy un alienígena
No importa cuanto lo intente, nunca podré encajar
Siempre por mi cuenta, triste y solitaria
Todo lo que quiero es que alguien juegue conmigo

Soy un alienígena
No importa cuanto lo intente, nunca podré encajar
Siempre por mi cuenta, triste y solitaria
Todo lo que quiero es que alguien juegue conmigo

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
