Alien
Sebastian Pigott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know what you're feeling
Is hard to believe in
That home must be millions and millions of light-years away
So let the stars align
And let the water make wine 'cause
Broken souls will become whole tonight, whoa tonight
We know it's right so
[Chorus:]
Lift your eyes and let me in
'Cause baby I'm an alien like you
Will you ever wake at night and realize the
Reason why you knew me then
Is maybe I'm an alien too
Will you ever let me be an alien with you

Aren't you tired of running
From what you're becoming
The truth is it's useless there's nowhere to go, it's not going to find you,
So let the heavens flare
And let's not be scared, 'cause
We know love's a world above this one
It's like the sun so

[Chorus:]
Lift your eyes and let me in
'Cause baby I'm an alien like you
Will you ever wake at night and realize the
Reason why you knew me then
Is maybe I'm an alien too
Will you ever let me be an alien with you

Well the days of solitude are gone
Because we've both spent a way too long
Hearing voices on the radio
(Voices on the radio)
And we can't let anybody know

[Chorus:]
Lift your eyes and let me in
'Cause baby I'm an alien like you
Will you ever wake at night and realize the
Reason why you knew me then
Is maybe I'm an alien too




Will you ever let me be an alien
With you

However, the chorus brings the message of hope, asking the listeners to lift their eyes and let the singer in because he's an alien like them. The song encourages people to stop running from their true selves and embrace who they are.


The lyrics suggest that love is a world above this one, and by accepting and embracing our differences and unique qualities, we can find a feeling of completeness, belonging, and love. The days of solitudes are gone, and hearing voices on the radio has become the norm, and it's hard to find a place to belong. However, the song assures its listeners that they are not alone and that it's okay to be different.
