Backpack Lyrics

You said "I come in peace," so I took you home
I gave you food and I gave you clothes
I taught you how to move your feet when the rhythm's on
Still you wanna leave because you feel alone

You don't know what they're like if they know that you're alive
They're gonna try to take away the secrets of your planet's life
I know you must be upset, you lost your family in a wreck
But you got to listen (listen, listen)

Don't try to find your spaceship
That might be out there waiting
Stay in my backpack forever
Stay in my backpack forever
You know I got to find my spaceship
My planet's outside there waiting
I can't stay in your backpack forever
Stay in your backpack, backpack, backpack

Before you came around I was in a rut
Didn't have a friend, didn't know what it was
You taught me how to dream and how to love
You're my best friend, please listen to me

You don't know what they're like if they know that you're alive
They're gonna try to take away the secrets of your planet's life
I know you must be upset, you lost your family in a wreck
But you got to listen (listen, listen)

Don't try to find your spaceship
That might be out there waiting
Stay in my backpack forever
Stay in my backpack forever
You know I got to find my spaceship
My planet's outside there waiting
I can't stay in your backpack forever
Stay in your backpack, backpack, backpack

Uh, greetings, I fell from the sky
I'm from a different world, I use Lil Wayne as a disguise
And my flying saucer crashed, I'm the only one that survived
I've only taken over this planet since I've arrived
I'm in the backpack, I'm ducking Men In Black
Yeah I'm an alien, my swag is out of this world
Different galaxy, they try to capture me
When I die they gonna name this planet after me
Wayne's World (Wayne's World, Wayne's World)

Don't try to find your spaceship
That might be out there waiting
Stay in my backpack forever
Stay in my backpack forever
You know I got to find my spaceship
My planet's outside there waiting
I can't stay in your backpack forever
Stay in your backpack, backpack, backpack

On our planet we don't kill one another
We don't take love for granted, it's a gift from the mother
In, in your planet you are filled with greed and false belief
We came here to bring you peace

The story he is trying to tell is similar to the movie "E.T" or what we call "Koi Mil Gaya" An Alien spaceship crashes , and one of the species of the alien is in his home safe, hiding in his backpack ' The alien made him a complete man , teaching him different aspects of life ' and now the alien wants to go home , but justin is yelling , that no need to come out of the backpack , the humans are waitin outside "Don't try to find your spaceship They might be out there waiting Stay in my backpack forever Stay in my backpack forever"....... The alien at last shares his feeling "In our planet we don't kill one another We don't take love for granted, it's a gift from the mother land, In your planet you are filled with greed and false belief We came here to bring you peace"

I feel like the whole song is a metaphor. He's in a relationship that he wants to keep secret and away from the public eye.

"You don't know what they're like , if they know that you're alive " He's talking about the paparazzi/ fans and how if they find out there will be a lot of hate etc and people bombarding her . And him being Justin Bieber knows exactly what this is like .

"Stay in my backpack forever" He wants to keep it a secret forever.

"I can't stay in your backpack forever" She's saying they can't hide forever.
