“‘ALIEN’ weaves a story about the pressures of life in the city and how we survive it. It is about the darkness that pulls you in, the devil on your shoulder luring you into the abyss and how easy it is to forget who you are and why you’re here. It is a personal story of altering my consciousness and numbing the pain and traumas that need to be healed.”

“This darkness is juxtaposed with fantasy and escapism. Using the metaphor of dreams, the song notes that we create fantasy to escape reality. ‘ALIEN’ transforms the metaphor into the positive notion that dreams are our realities in waiting, ‘in dreams we plant seeds for our future.’”

For the ‘ALIEN’ music video, SOMA worked with director Freddie XX and a creative team to bring the narrative to life on screen. Filming at a number of Sydney locations, the project captures the core of the song’s story; feelings of being overwhelmed by the city you very much love – and eventually coming out the other side inspired and able to breathe once more.
