In this evocative track, FKA twigs delves into the theme of betrayal and disillusionment in a relationship. The lyrics portray the artist as a "fallen alien," suggesting feelings of estrangement and disconnection from her partner, who she feels has deceived her. The repeated mentions of lies and deceit highlight a deep sense of betrayal, while the imagery of seeking light in an "age of Satan" suggests a quest for truth and purity in a corrupt world. The song oscillates between vulnerability and empowerment, capturing the complex emotions involved in recognizing and confronting betrayal. Ultimately, "fallen alien" is a poignant exploration of personal transformation through pain, using otherworldly metaphors to express very human experiences.
fallen alien
Lyrics
I was waiting for you, I was outside
Don't tell me what you want because I know you lie (I feel)
I was waiting for you, on the outside
Don't tell me what you want because I know you lie (I feel, the light)
I was crying for you, on the outside
Don't tell me what you want because I know you lie
I'm a fallen alien
I never thought that you would be the one to tie me down
But you did
In this age of Satan
I'm searching for a light to take me home and guide me out
In the blazing sun I saw you
In the shadows hiding from yourself
When the lights are on I know you
See you're grey from all the lies you tell
Now you hold me close so tender
In the shadows hiding from yourself
When the lights are on I know you
See you're grey from all the lies you tell
Now you hold me close so tender
When you fall asleep I'll kick you down
By the way you fell I know you
Now you're on your knees
(I feel, the lightning blast)
I'm a fallen alien
I never thought that you would be the one to tie me down
But you did
In this age of Satan
I'm searching for a light to take me home and guide me out
In the blazing sun I saw you
In the shadows hiding from yourself
When the lights are on I know you
See you're grey from all the lies you tell
Now you hold me close so tender
When you fall asleep I'll kick you down
By the way you fell I know you
See you're grey from all the lies you tell
Now you hold me close so tender
When you fall asleep I'll kick you down
By the way you fell I know you
Now you're on your knees
(I feel, the lightning blast)
