HAN HAN

The Alienation of Being Different

The song "Alien" by HAN from Stray Kids delves into the feelings of alienation and loneliness that stem from feeling out of place or different from those around you. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who feels like an outsider, an 'alien' on Earth, struggling to fit in with the rest of humanity. The repeated line 'I’m an alien on this earth' emphasizes the sense of not belonging anywhere, despite the character's attempts to integrate and be seen.

The emotional weight of the song is carried by the portrayal of loneliness and the desire for connection. The character in the song tries to laugh off the loneliness but can't shake the feeling of isolation. The darkness of night is used metaphorically to describe the character's internal state, suggesting a longing for someone to reach out and offer comfort. The reference to crying under the cover of night indicates a private struggle with these feelings of alienation.

HAN's lyrics also touch on the theme of perseverance despite feeling overwhelmed by one's own worries and the indifference of others. The character in the song resolves to keep living and dreaming, even if everything falls apart. This resilience in the face of adversity and the determination to not give up on one's dreams, even when feeling like an outsider, is a powerful message of hope and strength.
