The Alien
Sacred Blade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

a deathly calm hung over the valley
as i landed between the treez
a clearing my spaceship had see in the telescope
from three thousand parsecz away
cosmetically fashioned to dress stock statistical
my background being devised
a bus for the village of harvest hill
where my habitat station would lie
the mainstreet was dossier
straight from the manuscript briefing i had consumed
into the coffee bar
converse with the localz
accepted as a wanderer
they told me their stories
weaving their fantasies
born of their dreamz of the world
stayed me a home of sorts out in the hillz
while my memory bankz filled in time

i am the alien
borne out of metal
+ bred for the purpose of learning
every word that is said
is stored inside my head for relaying
to the satellite sunz
of the m31 spiral galaxy
fit so well they can't tell that i'm different
ten yearz have passed on earth
as my batteriez have gathered informative viewz
with a wife + a family
living in harmony
with the newsreel competative scale
my social connectionz + favoured affectionz
reflecting my futuristic viewz
a member of public
well known in the gossip
noone really knowing the truth

i am the alien
borne out of metal
+ bred for the purpose of learning
every word that is said
is stored inside my head for relaying
to the satellite sunz
of the m31 spiral galaxy
fit so well they can't tell that i'm different
from way in the cosmos
a message they send me
receive another one of my own
creditz i'm shown identity unknown to me
precaution in case we're discovered
she has chosen a town in which she will live
to channel her learning back home
as we spread across your planet to sustain our existance
+ regain all the thingz we have lost

i am the alien
borne out of metal
+ bred for the purpose of learning
every word that is said
is stored inside my head for relaying
to the satellite sunz
of the m31 spiral galaxy
fit so well they can't tell that i'm different
i am the alien
i am the alien
i am the alien

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sacred Blade's song "The Alien" tell the story of an extraterrestrial being who has landed on Earth and has been living among humans for a decade. The first verse sets the scene, with the alien describing how he arrived in a spaceship and landed in a valley. He mentions that his appearance is designed to blend in with statistical norms, and that he is headed to a village called Harvest Hill, where he plans to live.


The second verse reveals that the alien has been living among humans for ten years, during which time he has assimilated extremely well. He has a wife and a family, is well-known in his community, and has even made friends. However, throughout the song, there is an underlying sense of loneliness and longing to be back among his own kind. The chorus reinforces this, with the alien repeating the phrase "I am the alien," a reminder of his fundamental difference from the humans among whom he lives.


Overall, "The Alien" is a poignant commentary on the human condition, and the way in which we are all alone in some fundamental sense. The song asks us to consider what it means to truly belong, and whether we can ever really be at home in a world that is not our own.
