2024-02-17 16:29:56 +0000 UTCHan jisung, the lyrical genius who comes up with so many amazing lyrics that he completely forgets them when he needs to perform them sometimes 😭 Iirc, there was a small snippet played during the chuseok special episode when Hyunjin was making the “alien” songpyeon, so maybe Han-C you heard it from there?

2024-02-17 03:18:23 +0000 UTCAlien is one of my favourite songs full stop. Han has this way of writing with such a raw honesty sometimes it hits deep. I love how open he is about his struggle with socialising and his experiences of anxiety and depression. You can find a lot of songs about mental health and feeling alienated but this song broke into my heart in part because of the way he seems to actively be fighting against that loneliness and depression and how if he lets it consume him it will consume his dreams too. And that verse where he says he's proud of himself- wow. That was the energy I needed when I had my own difficulties, that passion of I will find a way to beat this, and one day someone will understand. One day I feel like you should listen to Alien and then Volcano (one of his more recent skz records) back to back and experience the feels. Volcano is a song he wrote about how he feels now. Han is such a gift really. He can verbalise things in a very affecting way- and he's also fearless in his songs. He shows a vulnerability that's quite astounding for someone in his position and industry. And yes- he seems to be doing a lot better. SKZ and their staff are very supportive and they all seem to understand how to handle Han's mental and emotional health. Han also seems very good at recognising and managing his energy, and he's learned how to have healthy relationships too. But to second your statement, yes 'Han, we love you!'

2024-02-16 19:03:21 +0000 UTCHere i am 19 hours later. And I honestly don't know how i missed this upload. But this format for me was a little harder to follow bcuz it didn't have the English translation as well. But i just pulled up the lyrics on my phone. But Hannie's delivery is always amazing. Han is my ult so i agree. I really love Han. Oh my god i cannot wait for tou to hear Because! You will be so shocked but pleasantly so. ALSO THE ENDING NAMES don't match what you are saying.

2024-02-16 18:59:02 +0000 UTCThis song is one of those songs where you can just get the feel of the lyrics a without needing a translation, and I felt like I just “got it” without looking at a translation nor subtitles the first time. I feel like that’s a mark of a well-crafted song, being delivered really well. When I did finally look at it with the lyrics translated, it both broke my heart and made it more dear to me, this part especially (in English translation): “That’s right, I don’t exist, every day I overflow I’m carrying all my worries Even if no one cares, I’m exhausted, with a vow I promise I won’t fall over There are countless dreams when I look in the sky It welcomes me so I don’t care about depression, though That’s right, I have to live If I collapse, everything will be ruined Even my dreams will be in vain.” This hit especially hard as a fairly young mother with toddlers who has struggled with clinical depression on and off for her entire adult life. I mean, as a mother in general you often feel like you don’t exist and exhausted anyway, but add on the depression, and it can be very difficult. (This obviously wasn’t what Han was writing about, but ain’t that the beauty about art, and art crafted well enough that the appreciator can read their own meaning into it?) So I find my own version of a sky to look up to so I don’t care about my own depression, and know that even if it sometimes can be a slog with both my physical and mental health, giving up would just mean my dreams would be in vain. On a much less “Oops! I Overshared Again” note, I really love how he plays around with his pitch and delivery in his raps in this song, and I also just like how all of the words sound together for some reason. One of my all-time favorite Han-penned songs, and that’s saying something.

2024-02-16 09:24:32 +0000 UTCThis is such a meaningful song! Reportedly, Han wrote it about how he used to feel before he met SKZ, and aside from being such a personal piece, there are lyrics in it which, I think, he deliberately evokes in Volcano by way of a comparison/callback, so that I'm even more excited now for you to react to it, too!

2024-02-16 08:25:39 +0000 UTCWill you guys checking out Two Kids Room? In Han x Hyunjin episode, Hyunjin said something like "I hope you won't be unhappy to make others happy. I wish you could live a bit more selfisly".

2024-02-16 06:36:44 +0000 UTCDidn't someone make a music video of this where Alien Han came to earth and found BangChan and Changbin? It was so sweet, not sure if it was full song or half of the song.

2024-02-16 06:20:55 +0000 UTCHan… a world of his own… and we are humbly grateful for being allowed to get glimpses into it. I am often fearful for him, how many sensitive and talented like him get lost, dragged under by the weight of live. I am glad that all the other members are conscious of that and watch out for him. I am looking forward for your reaction to ‚because“, it is such a beautiful composition.

2024-02-16 05:49:04 +0000 UTCAlien might be my favorite by Han this far...it made me cry before I even looked up a full translation of the lyrics 🥹 Han's solos tend to be my favorites 👌🏽☺️

2024-02-16 03:09:11 +0000 UTCThis is my fave Han Solo song by far. It sounds amazing.

2024-02-16 02:09:48 +0000 UTCI usually don't recommend fanmade things (no hate against them, it's just easier for us to watch lyric videos with you or the official MVs), but I HIGHLY recommend this illustrated fanmade video that was done for Alien. It makes me cry at the end every single time because it's just so heartwarming and I absolutely love it. The quality is amazing and I cannot express how much I would love you both to watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4bJOwUbIrQ

2024-02-16 01:49:36 +0000 UTCJust wait until you've officially reacted to all of Han's solo songs that he's released. That man can churn lyrics out like no one I've ever seen. If I remember correctly Jisung wrote the song Sunshine in 2 hours while in LA, he wrote Close after watching a movie, I think he wrote all the lyrics for tortoise and the hare in like 15 minutes. Han is to lyrics what Bang Chan is to instrumentals/ tracks. Like it's why they are able to constantly be dropping new songs both on official EPs as well as stuff like SKZ Record or SKZ Player. Also there is a song that you'll be reacting to soon on SKZ-Replay called Up All Night and it was Chan's first song composition EVER like before even Hellevator. It took like 5 years before it was actually released so if it took that long for a song to be released and was just sitting on his laptop he has YEARS of songs on his laptop. There are songs that were only released as performances at live broadcasts that don't actually have a studio recording and it makes me really sad cause I'll never hear a studio recording of Passion or Mischief or Scissor of My People. The last one will never see the light of day because he lost the track and I would give anything for a time machine so I could somehow save the track so he could release it. Anyway I think this song and one of Han's recent songs Volcano are my favorite Han songs.

2024-02-16 00:37:05 +0000 UTCJust re-reading Han's lyrics, which are incredibly personal and raw, brings tears to my eyes. I am so, so, so, so, so glad he's part of the Stray Kids brotherhood. I have a feeling they really saved him. Han is SO loved, by so many. I hope he always knows that.

2024-02-16 00:31:58 +0000 UTCThe lyrics in English: [Intro] The only thing predictable about life is Its unpredictability Anyone can be anything You can be everything [Chorus] Falling down, I'm an alien on this earth I don't seem to belong anywhere by myself No matter how much I smile, I feel so lonely Like aliens trying to blend in with Earthlings No one can hear me when I try and say something [Verse 1] I crash-landed in a strange place, and at first I was full of expectations My tears build up when the night turns black, yeah Because my confidence can also be hated I've lived like I was dead, and suddenly, I'm all alone and far away Even though we were in the same position, I was an alien, yeah I flew and crash-landed from space, a loner full of scars [Pre-Chorus] It's a lonely night, it's a quiet night It's really dark, but with my low voice I'm gonna make it happen, among those stars I'm just lonely, somebody reach out and hold me [Chorus] Falling down, I'm an alien on this earth I don't seem to belong anywhere by myself No matter how much I smile, I feel so lonely Like aliens trying to blend in with Earthlings No one can hear me when I try and say something [Verse 2] Yeah, I don't exist, every day I overflow I'm carrying my worries Even if no one cares, I'm exhausted With a vow, I promise won't fall over There are countless dreams in the sky Because you've welcomed me, don't care about depression too Yeah, but I'm going to have to live If it collapses, everything will be ruined, even our dreams It will be ruined, even our dreams Even breathing It's so bitter and painful, but I can hold it in Are you not happy with your dreams? Yeah, nobody wanted me I was too young to be liked by everyone As time went by, I became an adult And even though I'm not perfect, I'm proud of myself [Pre-Chorus] It's a lonely night, it's a quiet night It's really dark, but with my low voice I'm gonna make it happen, among those stars I'm just lonely, somebody reach out and hold me [Chorus] Falling down, I'm an alien on this earth I don't seem to belong anywhere by myself No matter how much I smile, I feel so lonely Like aliens trying to blend in with Earthlings No one can hear me when I try and say something https://genius.com/Genius-english-translations-han-alien-english-translation-lyrics
