“Alien” is an otherworldly indie-pop song that addresses the feeling of being isolated, as an outsider in an otherwise seemingly normal environment. E^ST sings with effortless ease, dropping plenty of outer space imagery.

[Verse 1]
I'm in the bus and it feels like a U.F.O
Everyone’s talking a language I don't know
I wonder if we're going to the same place
Or am I heading to my own space?
So next stop, I get off and I gotta phone home
I’m at the club and I feel like I'm on Mars
I'm tryna dance but it's like I got sixteen arms
Wondering "Do we hear the same song
Or did I hit the beat wrong?"
Did I come to this Earth on a shooting star?
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know how they do it
Walking around like humans
I just can't understand it
Is anyone from my planet?
I'm feeling like a stranger
Wakin' up in a ten-foot crater
The way the world is spinning
Got me feeling like an alien
[Chorus]
The way the world is spinning
Got me feeling like an alien
The way the world is spinning
Got me feeling like an alien
[Verse 2]
I’m on the pavement stepping over the cracks
What if I fall through and never come back?
I wonder if there’s other beings like me
Do you see the things that I see?
If you do, let me know where you're at
Let me know where you’re at
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know how they do it
Walkin' around like humans
I just can't understand it
Is anyone from my planet?
I’m feeling like a stranger
Wakin' up in a ten-foot crater
The way the world is spinning
Got me feeling like an alien
[Chorus]
The way the world is spinning
Got me feeling like an alien
The way the world is spinning
Got me feeling like an alien

This song is about feeling like an outsider in the world, where even doing ‘normal’ things like getting the bus or dancing can make you feel weird and out of place. And it’s calling out to others who might feel the same, in the hopes that feeling ‘alien’ can bring us together.
