****Sounds like: An Anti-Capitalist Dance Party on the Dock of a Futuristic Space Station****
Alien Fantasy is mostly a love album, but you can't escape love without thinking about marriage, rings, and all the capitalism/commercialism that comes with falling in love.
There are women out there right now wearing diamonds on their fingers that people in faraway places *died* to get. There are people out there who think once you're married your life is over, and that you should be said to grow old. It's insane!!!
This song questions all of that nonsense while reassuring you that no matter what, our lives, hopes, and dreams are just an alien fantasy.
lyrics
All our lives
We're taught to cry
With the sunset in our eyes
Can't get high
Without the night
A surreal human fight
Come with me
Come with me
(Come with me to a place you already know)
Come with me
And you'll see
That all your dreams
Are just an alien fantasy
All we're sold
Is shiny gold
Taken from a broken hand
I hope we find
Our perfect star
It's there behind the dark
Come with me
Come with me
(Come with me to a place you already know)
Come with me
And you'll see
That all your dreams
Are just an alien fantasy
All we're sold
Is shiny gold
Taken from a broken hand
I hope we find
Our perfect star
It's there behind the dark
