I’m An Alien Lost In Place

AN ALIEN LOST IN PLACE

LYRICS

I’m an alien, lost in place

Trying to fit in the human race

Navigate the world with a curious gaze

Social cues are hard to embrace

Everyday slang I can’t decode

Eye contact feels like I’ll explode

Crowds are a maze, noise is a tide

In this unsafe place I often hide

I’m an alien, lost in place

Unique rhythm and different grace

Facial expressions a cryptic sea

Emotions are a mystery to me

In an ideal world, differences are good

Aliens like me will be understood

Yearning for steps I can retrace

Hoping to belong, find a safe place

Earthly customs I can’t embrace

To familiarity I’m a closed case

Noise and crowds I cannot face

Any contact is a forbidden place

I’m an alien, lost in place

Unique rhythm and different grace

Facial expressions a cryptic sea

Emotions are a mystery to me

In quiet corners, solace I find

A sanctuary for my restless mind

To bridge our worlds, my heart yearns

A planet where understanding returns

Feel like an alien from outer space

Words twist and turn like a cosmic chase

Lost in translation, a peculiar embrace

Solitude is my saving grace

I’m an alien, lost in place

Unique rhythm and different grace

Facial expressions a cryptic sea

Emotions are a mystery to me

So I navigate this earthly sea

With my quirks and authenticity

Return to a place far beyond

Where understanding people respond

I’m an alien, lost in place

Unique rhythm and different grace….

INSPIRATION

This is the story of a vulnerable kid with ASD who is confused with the world around him. Our great-nephew is 3 years old and was recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). So, our song, "I'm An Alien Lost in Place" is dedicated to Callen to let him know he is loved. The words also apply to any “Stranger in a strange place” (Isaac Asimov). The song “I’m An Alien Lost in Place” is about feeling like an outsider in a world that doesn’t understand you. Where you struggle to fit in, navigate social cues, and decode inside jokes and everyday slang. All of us, but especially people with ASD, can feel like aliens, with unique rhythms and different grace, where facial expressions and emotions are a mystery to be solved. The song is about yearning for a place where differences are understood and embraced, and where understanding people respond. There is a need for greater Autism Awareness and sometimes a song is the perfect vehicle to create awareness. Hopefully, this song will contribute to ASD Awareness. Please become aware of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), even if it's by listening to our song, "I'm An Alien Lost in Place."
