Aliens Exist Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
Hey Mom, there's something in the backroom
Hope it's not the creatures from above
You used to read me stories, as if my dreams were boring
We all know conspiracies are dumb

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
What if people knew that these were real?
I'd leave my closet door open all night
I know the CIA would say, "What you hear is all hearsay"
Wish someone would tell me what was right

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Up all night long
And there's something very wrong
And I know it must be late
Been gone since yesterday

I'm not like you guys
I'm not like you

[Verse 3: Tom DeLonge]
I am still a skeptic, yes, you know me
Been best friends and will be 'til we die
I got an injection of fear from the abduction
My best friend thinks I'm just telling lies, alright
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Up all night long
And there's something very wrong
And I know it must be late
Been gone since yesterday
I'm not like you guys
I'm not like you

[Bridge: Tom DeLonge]
Dark and scary, ordinary
Explanation, information
Nice to know ya, paranoia
Where's my mother? Bio-father?

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Up all night long
And there's something very wrong
And I know it must be late
Been gone since yesterday
I'm not like you guys
Twelve majestic lies

About

Genius Annotation

“Aliens Exist” is a song about lead singer Tom Delonge’s belief in aliens. Tom, who has a strong fascination and belief in extraterrestrial life and even claims to have made contact, wrote the song.

Following his departure from the band in 2015, DeLonge decided to devote time to the exploration of “Unidentified Aerial Phenomen.” In a 2016 interview with Mic.com, DeLonge dismissively commented on the song:

Mic: How many people have made a joke about your ‘Aliens Exist’ song in relation to this project [Sekret Machines]?

Tom: [Laughs] Yeah, isn’t that the weirdest thing? It’s weird that people remember that song. It’s, like, an eighth album track from, like, 20 years ago.

Genius Answer

In a program for one of Blink’s tours around the time of Enema’s release, Tom left a brief annotation for each track. For “Aliens Exist”:

As a hobby all I ever do is read books and study material on UFOs and government conspiracies. So I wrote a song about a guy talking about aliens as though he’s had a weird experience but nobody believes him, they think he’s full of shit. But he’s directing his angst toward the government, because the government knows there’s something going on. But I’m one of those freaks that really believes that stuff exists. I think if anybody out there does a little bit of research they will find that they side with me. I think it’s just a cool song coming from that point of view. I read books about abductions, and there are hundreds of thousands of people a year have an experience at night and they don’t know what it is, they just know what they saw and what they felt, but nobody believes them.
