about

Strange New World: You are an alien visiting the Earth. Write about what you found.
----------------
Song Bio: I interpreted this song from my own vantage point, not being able to recognize my current society / home from where it was even just a couple years ago. It often feels like I'm an alien visiting this new world even though I've been here my whole life.

lyrics

Verse 1

What is
This place
Don’t remember these shadows
Clouding
Your face
I must have been asleep

Craving
New blood
The wolves took off their masks
No one
Noticed
They never went away

Chorus

Home is so far from the truth
It’s alien
It’s alien

The light is going out for you
Are alien
You’re alien

Verse 2

Exit
Nowhere
Divided they come undone
Waving
White flags
They didn’t make themselves

Conquer
Leaders
We won’t go sitting down
Can’t be
A crime
If we are all to blame

Verse 3

Slowly
Wake up
I never was asleep
