Alien
One Fine Day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

they're so spoiled and living deep down in their holes
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
I'm an alien not welcome anymore
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
