about

A song about the human nature to screw things up from the point of view of someone who's not from this earth. A song about hoping for a future where there's more empathy.

lyrics

Mars

Verse
I’m a visitor from Mars
I have travelled passed the stars
But I’m so full of disgust
You’re all intoxicated

From all the places I’ve been
You’re the worst I’ve ever seen
Without hope and losing trust
You’ll be annihilated

Chorus
I’ve travelled past the stars
I’ve watched you from afar
Seen you scrounging for more stuff
You never seem to have enough

I’ve travelled past the stars
I’ve watched you starting wars
And you just keep fucking it up
While you should be making love.

Verse
I’ve said this all before
But I will spell it out once more
From the outside looking in
It’s not that complicated

Sometimes there’s no wrong or right
There’s more shades than black and white
All it takes is empathy
And love perpetuated

Chorus
I’ve travelled past the stars
I’ve watched you from afar
Seen you scrounging for more stuff
you never seem to have enough

I’ve travelled past the stars
I’ve watched you starting wars
And you just keep fucking it up
While you should be ...

I’ve travelled past the stars
I’ve watched you from afar
Seen you scrounging for more stuff
You never seem to have enough

I’ve travelled past the stars
I’ve watched you starting wars
And you just keep fucking it up
While you should be making love.

Bridge
I’m losing my faith in you
Hell is freezing over
And there’s nothing I can do

Chorus:
I’ve travelled past the stars
I’ve watched you from afar
Seen you scrounging for more stuff
you never seem to have enough

I’ve travelled past the stars
I’ve watched you starting wars
And you just keep fucking it up
While you should be making love.
