Alien
One Fine Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
demanding more with deep profanity
never satisfied, grabbing greedy souls
can't understand how they replace sanity
and I feel so distant
I'm an alien in oblivion
in an area of histeria
must I play my role or can I ask for more
and of course it's allowed to make "little mistakes"
life is just all about experience
the less you know the less you have to fake
the skill lies in just ignoring it all
and I feel so distant
I'm an alien in oblivion
I'm an alien not welcome anymore
in an area of histeria
must I play my role or can I ask for more
I'm an alien just an alien in oblivion
why do I feel so alienated
is it all about cheating fate
indifference is lying in wait
hard time hard times hard times
