Alienated
Hilson Keri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
Oh yeah oh yeah
Where did you do
Since I've become a shooting star
I've been wondering where you are
Seems like your forever in a getaway
Feels like we've been apart for some light years
Crater in my heart, fill with my tears
Stars align, I'll be your girl again
What I'm trying say, I want you back in my world again
You're the reason I don't change my number
Don't you know it's not still the same
And I bet you remember that summer
When we kicked it everyday
Don't know how it happened, just happened
Kinda like we faded away
And I feel so alienated, don't you feel so alienated
I miss you and I want you back
I lost your signal, Where you at?
And I don't know how we lost contact
Where did you go? I'm searching for you
Can't get you outta my system
Outta my system, Outta my system
Can't get you outta my system
Outta my system, Outta my system
Can't get you outta my system
Outta my system, Outta my system
Where did you go? I'm searching for you
Sitting watching time passing by me
Voices in my head asking why me?
I'm here wishing you would stop by my place
But the only time we talk is on MySpace
By the way, have you found my replacement?
She should be the one on this spaceship
Waking up, reaching for you when you're not there
You got me in another galaxy, I'm out there
You're the reason I don't change my number
Don't you know it's not still the same
Oh boy I know you remember that summer
When we kicked it everyday
Don't know how it happened, just happened
Kinda like we faded away
And I feel so alienated, don't you feel so alienated
I miss you and I want you back
I lost your signal, Where you at?
And I don't know how we lost contact
Where did you go? I'm searching for you
Can't get you outta my system
Outta my system, Outta my system
Can't get you outta my system
Outta my system, Outta my system
Can't get you outta my system
Outta my system, Outta my system
Where did you go? I'm searching for you
Where did you go? I'm searching for you
I wanna know, where did you go?
Where did you go? I'm searching for you
I wanna know, where did you go?
Where did you go? I'm searching for you
I wanna know, where did you go?
Where did you go? I'm searching for you
I wanna know, where did you go?
System, Outta my system, Outta my system
System, Outta my system, Outta my system
How can I get you outta my
System, Outta my system, Outta my system
Where did you go? I'm searching for you
System, my system, my system (If I could only get you)
System, my system, my system (Outta my system baby)
System, my system, my system
Where did you go? I'm searching for you, yeah
In Keri Hilson's song "Alienated," she sings about feeling disconnected and separated from someone she cares deeply about. As a "shooting star," Hilson wonders where this person is, and it seems like they are always getting away. She reflects on how her mother warned her that this would happen to her one day, and she feels like they have been apart for light years. The pain she feels is deep, and she says that it causes a "crater" in her heart that is filled with tears. However, she still longs to be with this person again, hoping that the stars will align and she can be their girl once more.
The chorus of the song speaks to the confusion and frustration that comes with losing touch with someone you care about. Hilson notes that she hasn't changed her number because of this person, and she thinks back to a summer where they spent time together. Despite not knowing how they lost contact, she feels "alienated" and wants to be reunited with this person. She can't get them out of her system and spends her time searching for them.
Overall, "Alienated" is a poignant reminder of how painful it can be to lose touch with those we care about and how difficult it can be to reconnect with them.
Line by Line Meaning
You make me feel so alienated alienated
I feel disconnected and lonely because of you
Since I've become a shooting star
Since I became famous and successful
I've been wondering where you are
I've been curious about your whereabouts
Seems like your forever in a getaway
It seems like you are always escaping from me
Momma told me that it would happen to me one day
My mother warned me that I would experience heartbreak someday
Feels like we've been apart for some light years
It feels like we've been separated for a very long time
Crater in my heart, fill with my tears
My heart is broken and I'm crying
Stars align, I'll be your girl again
If everything works out, I'll be your partner again
What I'm trying say, I want you back in my world again
I want you back in my life
You're the reason I don't change my number
I don't change my phone number because I still hope for you to call me
Don't you know it's not still the same
You should know that things have changed between us
And I bet you remember that summer
I'm sure you remember that summer we spent together
When we kicked it everyday
When we spent time together every day
Don't know how it happened, just happened
I'm not sure how we drifted apart, it just kind of happened
I miss you and I want you back
I feel lonely without you and I want to be with you again
I lost your signal, Where you at?
I've lost contact with you, where are you now?
Can't get you outta my system
I can't stop thinking about you
Sitting watching time passing by me
Sitting alone, watching time go by
Voices in my head asking why me?
I'm questioning why I feel so alone and disconnected from you
I'm here wishing you would stop by my place
I'm wishing you would come see me
But the only time we talk is on MySpace
The only time we communicate is on social media
By the way, have you found my replacement?
Have you found someone new to replace me?
She should be the one on this spaceship
She should be the one here with me
Waking up, reaching for you when you're not there
I wake up and instinctively reach out for you, but you're not there
You got me in another galaxy, I'm out there
You've put me in a different emotional state and I feel disconnected
I wanna know, where did you go?
I'm curious where you went and what you're doing now
