↓ LYRICS ↓
We met one day
Where I thought
I was an alien
I told you
To get a costume
And dance with me
Like an alien
You told me that
You were not
Quite a good dancer
I told you that
I think it doesn't matter
We would just look
Dumber than we think we were
Then you look at me
As if I was a freak
But you said you like
Freaky people
So I thought you might
Like me a little bit
We met one day
Where I thought I was an alien
I told you to get a costume
And dance with me
Like an alien
And you did
And you did
#Soko #IThoughtIWasAnAlien

[@bmchd-up3cj]

what i like most in the soko's songs it's that they leave me quiet with my weirdness

[@DashSpaceski]

Yep.

[@starchi7d]

Well said!

[@ommice]

We met one day
Where I thought

We would just look
Dumber than we think we were
Then you look at me
As if I was a freak
But you said you like
Freaky people
So I thought you might
Like me a little bit
We met one day
Where I thought I was an alien
I told you to get a costume
And dance with me
Like an alien
And you did
And you did

me falling in love with the alien i rescued from area 51

[@ismafra7707]

K Hughes adorable, please save me

[@LuisTorres-gz2vn]

I feel like she's using Alien as a metaphor. The guy she met has made her feel so beautiful and different. She's happy and content with what she has.

[@thechemicals]

lol Belen thank you for claiming whats yours

[@mateusalves3022]

Belén ASMR Soko isn't lesbian. She is bi.

[@carolj7156]

I agree with you...

[@lokinhogamer]

tu é rubu sabido mermo sio

[@walker7155]

Makes me miss my girl...too bad she cheated.

[@blurp8996]

"you look at me as if I was a freak but you said you like freaky people so I thought you might like me a little bit"

[@cerensal372]

I still think, that I am an alien

[@ente_5021]

same here

[@veronika3223]

probably, me too

[@Pandora1095]

me 2 :)

[@federicafadda2069]

right now, i think I am more than ever

[@kanmi8064]

i'm from the earth but some people from mars think that i;m an alien :(

[@destinydreamdaze3111]

This song reminds me of the beauty of being different as well as the beauty of finding a connection with someone that is the same type of different as you

[@Fifihorrorchick95]

the music videos for soko have always been my favorite

[@delusionalkid2022]

God I love her style. It's like as if she's trying to tell us something

[@MusicianPortraitProject]

this alien is a wonderful person

[@laramguimaraes]

The best love story I've ever heard 🌌

[@Sean-lv6fx]

Better than Twilight.

[@bettinaleschke7729]

​@@Sean-lv6fx😂😅

[@apuntadispara]

Descubrí la música de Soko hace apenas 3 días y desde entonces no he podido dejar de escucharla! Ya debo haber oído esta canción como 80 veces y las 80 veces me ha hecho sonreír :)

[@aliceinwonderland1764]

why it is so perfect? why?

[@MayaZalbidea]

I love the song and the video! Soko sings very naturally as if she were improvising. The song looks like a 70s song like all from the album. It is so tender! Soko and the alien transmit real love ignoring social conventions.

[@arielvlad]

pocos son las artistas de hoy ,que puedes escuchar el álbum completo sin cambiarle de canciones soko es muy creativa pop dulce fresco psicodélico

[@shallyneb]

this song is absolutely darling.

[@TopsyKrettsOne]

She's one of us... :)

[@_PikluOfficial]

I really really respect soko. Just imagine how mature and professional she is. But the world failed to recognise her in time. She is future. After 20 years she is the inspiration.
..... Love from India. God bless you 🙏

[@zimacarmine]

I can't tell how much I love you soko. I’ve been listening to your songs since I was 18 (I’m 25 now) and your songs still makes my heart melt and warm. You taught me a lot like I can express myself and to care abt my feelings and feel every feeling is precious and important. My tears comes up every time when I listen your songs. I definably keep listen your songs even tho I get old. My English is not good so I don't know I can convey well to you that how much I appreciate you and adore you always ❤ I hope you and your family having a lovely day 🐈‍⬛💐 I love you so much! - Rino

[@holocenealps]

Eu te amo muito SoKo

[@sabarinadrina7762]

[@happinessconspiracy]

[@Rufina141]

I love it

[@tkbrendini299]

I remember when this was released, all of her previous songs in those years had been bare acoustic guitar solo songs, so I was surprised to see she made another indie pop song. I still enjoy it, glad she brought back the multi instrumental style, even if just for a few songs.

[@19y91]

*I LOVE YOU.*

[@niebyt86]

It's a good thought ;)

[@fernandazarate7137]

Love it :')

[@dairylandbogurt]
