Alien
Eternal Decision Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't belong here
Stranger to this world
This place is not my home
Alien
This land of darkness
I do not know
My streets are paved with gold
I am an Alien

We have traveled on this far
Far away from home
With this love to guide our way
We will carry on

So unfamiliar to
These selfish ways
New life is born in me
Alien
I see no more crying
I see no more pain

There is a better place
I am an Alien

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eternal Decision's song "Alien" explore the notion of feeling disconnected from society and being an outsider. The song describes the singer as feeling like a stranger to this world. They do not feel as if they belong in this place, describing it as dark and unknown. The singer seems to yearn for a better place, somewhere without pain or suffering. They acknowledge their otherness and embrace it, calling themselves an alien.

The song can be interpreted in a few ways. On one hand, it could be seen as a religious song about not feeling at home on earth and looking towards heaven as a better place. On the other hand, it could be seen as an introspective song about feeling disconnected from people and society in general. The idea of being an alien can be viewed as embracing the things that make us different and unique, even if it makes us feel like outsiders.
