Alienized Lyrics

I like to be me, but that's not to be
I just wanna find the way to get home
Before I get old, but where is the light
I wash my rusty burning glory
That never ever fit
To take it easy is not that easy
When time is a bitch

What you see here, is what you get here
I just wanna find the way to change it
The way to accept it, but when is my time
I wash my rusty burning glory
That never ever fit
To take it easy is not that easy
When time is a bitch

(Chorus)
Well, I feel that I don't belong here
Alienized in a world of nothing
Don't we all like to be just ourselves
Forced to be socialized for money
Couldn't care less for jobs I've been in
Well one day I will go the rock n' roll way

I'm alienized, I'm alienized

(Chorus)

I'm alienized, I'm alienized

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.

Basically, this one is about the feeling of not fitting in or belonging in a world that prioritizes conformity and societal expectations. They desire to be true to themselves and find a sense of purpose, but their aspirations are hindered by the time limit of life and the difficulties of a world that values material success over personal fulfillment. We all want to follow our dreams and aspirations, but reality doesn't want us to follow our 'silly dreams' and stick to the status quo; Get a real job and keep dreams just dreams.

Basically I think this song about a person wanting to be like he really is. But for different reasons he is not allowed to. He wants to break free, and do the rock'n'roll music he dreams of doing.

By the way, the name of this song is Alienized, not Alienizen.
