Alien
Prozak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know it's funny…
Every time you get to the last song on your album
It kinda makes you wonder like
What if this WAS your last song?
And if it was, then what would you say?
[Verse 1]:
Am I a passenger aboard this life
Or am I just a stowaway?
Sometimes I feel my soul’s a throw away;
Inside is so cold and grey
Just hope that I can cope and don’t explode today
Surrounded by these broken shards from the past
I sit and try to analyze these racing thoughts as they pass
Friends turn into foes
And foes turn into friends
It makes you wonder for what purpose we serve
All in the end we’re falling
And thus continues the cycle of our humanity
So hard to watch our dreams just dissipate into reality
So this goes out to those who feel like me
And refuse to walk the beaten path to fight for their own destiny
[Hook]:
An alien inside my own skin;
No matter what I’ve tried to do in this life, I can’t fit in
I know there’s reasons for things and things for reasons
The black sheep: alone in this world since I’ve been breathing
(An alien)
Alien inside my own skin
No matter what I’ve tried to do in this life I can’t fit in
I know there’s reasons for things and things for reasons
The black sheep: alone in this world since I’ve been breathing
(An alien)
[Verse 2]:
Some people say just keep on keeping on
Continue putting pens to papers, paying dues and keep on writing songs
I find no comfort in these words no more
I find no comfort that this world is obsessive with brutal acts of war
So keep your friends close man, enemies closer
Stay true to your fam and stay standin’ banded like soldiers
If ignorance is bliss, then silence is golden
They use misdirection to keep the public from knowing
Beware of Trojan horses, destructive and evil forces
Always think before you follow and contemplate who the source is
Of who stains to gain
Who stands to profit
Who shall bare the blame
Who’ll stand to stop it?
The laws of karma coming back again
Prozak Hitchcock. Outcast. They call me Alien
[Hook]: [x2]
An alien inside my own skin
No matter what I’ve tried to do in this life I can’t fit in
I know there’s reasons for things and things for reasons
The black sheep: alone in this world since I’ve been breathing
(An alien)
Alien inside my own skin
No matter what I’ve tried to do in this life, I can’t fit in
I know there’s reasons for things and things for reasons
The back sheep: alone in this world since I’ve been breathing
(An alien)
In Prozak's song "Alien," he contemplates whether he is a passenger or stowaway in life. He reflects on feeling like a throwaway, with a cold and grey soul, and the struggle to cope with his racing thoughts. Prozak observes that friends can turn into foes, and foes can turn into friends, leaving him wondering about the purpose of humanity. The cycle of life continues, crushing dreams and bringing them into reality. However, he chooses to write about his feelings, speaking to those who feel like him, encouraging them to fight for their own destiny rather than walking the beaten path.
In the hook, Prozak refers to himself as an alien inside his own skin. He feels like he does not fit in, going through life as the black sheep, alone since he has been breathing. Despite his struggles, he acknowledges that there are reasons for things and vice versa, and he uses his alienation to make sense of the world around him. In the second verse, Prozak laments the brutal acts of war, adding that he finds no comfort in being told to keep writing songs. Instead, he encourages people to stay true to their families, be vigilant and mindful of the Trojan horses that may pose a threat, and contemplate who the source is.

Prozak Hitchcock. Outcast. They call me Alien
Belief in the idea that what goes around comes around and that people see me as an outcast and outsider.
An alien inside my own skin
No matter what I’ve tried to do in this life, I can’t fit in
I feel like an outsider and can't seem to find a place where I belong
I know there’s reasons for things and things for reasons
The back sheep: alone in this world since I’ve been breathing
I believe that everything happens for a reason and I've always felt like an outsider
