Alien Angel Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a world policed by children
In a game of fame and power
We forget it’s all a program
We’re in too far to tell

[Pre-Chorus 1]
So convinced we’re making progress, it’s a lie
We divide ourselves to collide

[Chorus]
Alien angel
Alien, alien
Alien angel
Alien, alien
Alien angel

[Verse 2]
We knock heads about the answers
We protest and guess and judge
We need an off-world enemy concept
Someone far away to loathe

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Can you convince us that this spaceship should survive?
We divide ourselves to collide

[Chorus]
Alien angel
Alien, alien
Alien angel
Alien, alien

[Bridge]
I feel infinite, but how high am I?
Guilty, yeah, but of what type of crime?
Loan the tools, maybe we'll wake up
Tune the fork to our frustration

[Chorus]
Alien angel
Alien, alien
Alien angel
Alien, alien
Alien angel

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.
