Alien Lyrics

every hour, every day
isn't nature denied?
in a world where it rains
you're the sun in the sky

but i can't bear to see you
'cos i can't bear the pain
and i can't heal the wounds
'cos i still can't explain

why i feel like an alien
not part of the human race
when my heart wants to burst
at the sight of your face
i feel like i'm suffering
from a beautiful disease
when your sad pretty smile
brings me down to my knees

such a simple thing
it should be such a simple thing

you can call me confused
all that i can confess
is i can't come to terms
settle for something less
will i feel this emotion
till the day that i die?
and go to my grave
still wondering why

i feel like an alien...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This can be about any love that won't work. Whether one person is uninterested, or society opposes. It talks about love and feeling like you aren't normal for it. It's that lonely kind of love.

Maybe not necessary unrequited, but this can be taken very literally to be a match that everyone frowns upon, or a lot of people frown upon. Of course, I also heard this in the background of the controversial tv love story of Coffee Prince--one man thinks he is falling in love with another and, feels like an alien due to the intense homophobia he will have to get over in his society, and within himself.

An alien, literally not like anyone else around you. It's a desolate love in any case.

"Is nature denied?" Then again, all societies frown on love in some way, even the ones that they say are correct, don't go being too passionate, and doing what your nature and your lover want.
