“Alien” is about falling for someone who seems like they came from another planet and becoming hypnotized by and obsessed with their every move. The farther away they are from you, the closer they feel.
[Verse 1]
Take me over the moon
Say if it's too much too soon
Alien cover girl vibin'
Step on your hands so you stay
It's so convincing that way
Ever look out from the island?
I know it's so hard to hide in
[Chorus]

I don't want this to be chaotic
Baby, your face can erase logic
Baby, your face can erase logic

[Chorus]
(Run away, run away, run away)
(Run away, run away, run away)

(Run away, run away, run away)
Run away, run away, run away, run away
Only way of survival, or survival
Only way, only way, only way, only way
Of gettin' you with the light on
With the light on
