Feeling Alien in a Familiar World
The song 'Extraterrestre' by Extremoduro delves into the feeling of alienation and not fitting into the world around you. The lyrics express a sense of being out of place, as if the narrator is on the wrong planet. This metaphor of being an 'extraterrestrial' highlights the profound disconnection the narrator feels from those around him. The imagery of dancing and clapping simultaneously, while also stomping without a head, suggests a chaotic and disjointed existence, further emphasizing the sense of not belonging.
The line 'Os veo andar; nada que ver conmigo' (I see you walk; nothing to do with me) underscores the narrator's perception of being fundamentally different from others. This difference is not just superficial but deeply ingrained, making it difficult for the narrator to relate to or understand the people around him. The mention of being 'un poco confundido' (a little confused) adds a layer of introspection, indicating that the narrator is aware of his own confusion and struggles with his identity.
Despite this sense of alienation, there is a moment of connection when the narrator mentions hearing the heartbeats of others, including his own, all in sync. This suggests that, despite feeling like an outsider, there is a shared human experience that binds everyone together. This fleeting connection offers a glimmer of hope and a reminder that, even in our most isolated moments, we are not entirely alone.
