LYRICS
My bones are the bars of a jail
And I’ve never felt completely female
I sleep when the sun starts to rise
So I spend the night drying my eyes
And I watch all the humans, they move place to place
And hide in plain sight with that look on their face
Do they feel the same or is it just me?
I wish I could fly into that beautiful beam
Cuz I don’t fit in, I’m struggling
I’m trying to be “one of them”
But I’m an alien around here
My soul’s crawling out of my skin
Yea this gravity’s wearing me thin
I’d probably breathe better on mars
Floating up there above the stars
And I watch all the humans, they move place to place
And hide in plain sight with that look in their face
Do they feel the pain or is it just me?
I wish I could fly into that beautiful beam
Cuz I don’t fit in, I’m strugglin’
I’m trying to be “one of them”
But I’m an alien around here
They look at me like I’m from light-years away
And I don’t fit in, I’m struggling
Now I am not trying to be “one of them”
I’m an Alien, around here

Written by Aimee Interrupter, Kevin Bivona, Justin Bivona, Jesse Bivona & Tim Armstrong

Nearly cried during this song when I saw you live. Thank you!

[mrv]

The camera shots towards the end of the video of just Aimee and Kevin together are simply heart-warming.

[BenjaminHaas-dw]

When people say they are touched by music this is what they are talking about. I could totally see Pink doing this song, (meant as a compliment).

[markparent]

It's not everyday you hear a ska punk band doing a waltz.
Refreshing. Thanks!

[sonnew]

Did all the bands get together and just decide hey this week why don’t we release stuff and see how we can emotionally destroy our fans cause if so well done. This song wrecked me. Felt like an alien all my life it’s nice to see not alone in feeling like this.

[RPRosen-kifk]

Thank you Interrupters, for having the COURAGE to step outside of the box. It was brilliant following Alien with Hallelujah and your songwriting ... is stellar.

[marcoortiz]

Aimee and dudes, simply fantastic. Ya'll are

[emmarogers]

That was my hand she grabbed🥺Aimee, this performance meant everything to me❤This song makes me feel so much less alone!

[yellowbelly]

if i were fifty years younger i would be listening to this. what ! i am listening to this . brilliant. from an old punk git.

[beffis]

I’ve always been the black sheep of my family, and I’ve never been into ska or punk but was introduced to it by my best friend he is awesome! I’ve always loved her from the moment he introduced me to her music and her band. I’m gonna tell you right now I’m wearing her T-shirt and this song is the first song Other than this is my family, that really has hit Home for me because I’ve always been that black sheep. I love you Aimee!

[dkraft]

I can't believe it's 2023 and FUCKING AWESOME MUSIC is being created. Kick Ass.

I'm absolutely in love with how much emotion and feeling she brings to the Hallelujah reprise, expecially from 4:22-4:56 or so.

[MegaClashcityrocker]

Love this track, brings a tear to my eye, can totally relate. What wonderful music you guys create. 4 albums in and every one is a classic.
