THE ALIEN INSIDE

Listen!
I am right here
I am the prince of your fears

I know
just how you feel
I can control all your tears

just leave my brain!
Please! Just leave my brain!
Please! Just leave my brain!
Please go away!
Please! Just go away now!
Please! Just go away now!
Oh Please!

Relax
don't be afraid
everything stays the same

my friend
prepare yourself
it's time to meet once again

just leave my brain!
Please! Just leave my brain!
Please! Just leave my brain!
Please go away!
Please! Just go away now!
Please! Just go away now!
Oh Please!

The alien inside takes control of our brain
living in our mind is going to rule once again
we can't stop this pain!

Relax!
We can be friends
I'm the dark side of your mind

if you
just close your eyes
I'm very easy to find

Just leave my brain!
Please! Just leave my brain!
Please! Just leave my brain!
Please go away!
Please! Just go away now!
Please! Just go away now!
Oh Please!

The alien inside takes control of our brain
living in our mind is going to rule once again
we can't stop this pain!
No! Go away!

I will resist
I'll be strong
I will be free
from your control

I will go on
with my life
you won't have me!
No! I will not fall!

I will resist
I'll be strong
I will be free!

I will go on
with my life
you won't have me!
No! No! No! No!
No! You won't have me!

Can't you see
your lonely life?
You're alone!
I have been your only friend
in this world

can't you see
your empty life?
They have gone!
I will be
your only friend
in this world

I'm the one you've been feeding for
all these years
I have always been drinking
your tears

now it's time for you to understand
what is real
now you know who I'm

the alien inside!
The alien inside!
The alien inside!
The alien inside!

I am the one you have been
hiding for all
these years

the only one who loves you
you know I am
the alien inside

I'll trace the path of your life
you'd better trust my words

the only one who loves you




you know I am
the alien inside

Overall Meaning

These lyrics speak to the idea of internal struggles and the concept of battling with oneself. The opening lines establish that the singer is a manifestation of the listener's fears, and even has control over their tears. The repeated plea of "just leave my brain" suggests the listener is aware of the negative influence this presence has in their life, and they want it gone. This alien inside is described as taking control of the listener's brain and not allowing them to be free from its influence.


As the song continues, the singer tries to convince the listener that they should embrace this darkness and become friends. They even claim to be the only friend the listener has in their "lonely" and "empty" life. The back-and-forth of the lyrics continues until the listener finally resists and declares they will not be controlled any longer. They identify the presence within as the "alien inside," revealing the internal battle of good versus evil that has been taking place. The final lines of the song suggest the singer's words have been prophetic and that the listener would do well to trust them.
