Alienated
Elzhi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel out of place, I feel so out of place
Maybe I belong somewhere in outer space
They way I'm often alienated daily and hated by earthlings
I know acknowledging my worth stings, my mama birthed kings
Yet I get treated just the opposite
Despite I'm either out of this world or sitting on top of it
I'm just being who I am but can they say the same?
Or do they stay ashamed
'Cause they eyes denies a greater flame?
I see why now they don't include me
I used to let that rude behaviour set the wrong attitude free
Then I thought I could be alienated because I'm special
Nestled in a celestial body, a godly vessel
For some I know that's probly stressful for them to wrestle
With the idea, once they put it together like Ikea
'Cause I see a bit of jealousy and envy when they pretend we
Friends with secret plans to offend me

Lately I ain't been gettin' no sleep
See my homies in the street and them niggas don't speak
Oh I'm
So alienated, alienated
Lately I been on my own low-key
I don't think nobody in this world knows me
Oh I'm
So alienated, alienated

See in my past life I could've been a quasar off the radar
For now, I been sleeping inside of Jaycar
Waking up while curious neighbours peep through their windows
It's why I always pen flows in hopes I'll land on my ten toes
I wipe the cold from my eyes then I peel
So I can steal the wifi where you apply fries with your meal
Download some tracks then I park somewhere on the block and dip
Hair hangs out my skully, jeans are faded and the pocket's ripped
Out in the burbs so I get strange looks
While I think of concepts, write verses, arrange hooks
Down side streets where houses are enormous
I pray one day I'll afford it
And that I'll find inspiration to keep moving forward
Until I stumble into someone that truly makes me feel
Out of place, maybe I belong somewhere in outer space
Mingling with the stars, getting some sun
Catching some electromagnetic waves, that would be fun

Lately I ain't been gettin' no sleep
See my homies in the street and them niggas don't speak
Oh I'm
So alienated, alienated
Lately I been on my own low-key
I don't think nobody in this world knows me
Oh I'm
So alienated, alienated

Well fuck it then, I'll leave the planet
I'll hijack a rocket and probly won't even land it
Until I'm light years away from moving fast pace to a speedier power
After stopping I'm tryna hop in a meteor shower
Get dressed but there won't be no time to unwind
I'll be busy either moonwalking or walkin' on sunshine
While my chain hang over me dips down to the sun
So when it swings it's like a solar eclipse
Which makes me start writing bars
Lighting cigars off planet Mars flicking' ashes
You would call falling stars
All year round, June to June
I wanna say I sat on Saturn
Murked Mercury and moon the moon

Uh, who's this on my phone? Uh huh, aye, what's up? What's good?
Hold on, let me leave outta here 'cause I can't really hear whatchu saying.
Hold up
Yo what's good? Naw I'm in the studio, what's up? Oh really?




OK. You want me to come over like soon as I'm done?
Aight, bet I'll be over there. No doubt

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Elzhi's "Alienated" explore the feeling of being out of place and disconnected from the world. He questions his place on Earth, feeling like he may belong somewhere in outer space due to the constant alienation and hatred he faces. Elzhi acknowledges his worth as a king, but also realizes that others may not accept or acknowledge it. Despite being who he is, he wonders if others can say the same or if they are ashamed to admit their true selves.


Elzhi offers a deeper insight into the reasons for such behavior, noting that jealousy and envy may be behind some people's attempts to offend him. He talks about his struggle with insomnia and how he feels alienated even from his friends, who no longer speak to him on the street. He paints a picture of himself as an outsider, peering into the lives of others from a distance, hoping one day to afford the houses on the street he wanders down.


As the song continues, Elzhi imagines leaving the planet altogether. He speaks of hijacking a rocket and seeking out a new home somewhere in the cosmos. He talks about walking on sunshine and moonwalking, using imagery that conjures up a sense of otherworldliness. Even as he sits on Saturn and moons the moon, he seems to acknowledge that his longing for acceptance and connection may never truly be fulfilled.
