Foreigner by The Positives
STORY:
Foreigner is about the alienation in modern society, caused by individualism. It's quite an historical theme, yet civilization has not yet overcome this aspect of everyday life. It is in a sense a critique of the consequences of neoliberal capitalism. Yet, it ends on a positive note, where it pleads for the possibility that we can be made aware of this and start seeing us, people, as one again.

Lyrics
LYRICS:
Poison ivy fills these gardens hanging from the ceiling, strung from wall to wall. The sirens call out: 'Water is burning', bringing sense of joy, twisted and stoic, there's nothing to resolve.
And I will help you through.
Flights of stairs we take to sacrifice the effort we tend to shake when the nation's on fire and I'm the foreigner. The nation's on fire and I'm the foreigner.
Stoic eyes on top of fashion tear down the ceiling. Destroying homes and confidence without apology or reason. Taking sense of joy, twisted and stoic, there's nothing to resolve.
And I will help you through.
Flights of stairs we take to sacrifice the effort we tend to shake when the nation's on fire and I'm the foreigner. The nation's on fire and I'm the foreigner.
When we're all just bound by borders, why won't it assure us we're not moving forward if we think like this?
Flights of geese we admire to realise we are all the same when the nation's on fire and I'm the foreigner. The nation's on fire and I'm the foreigner. The nation's on fire and I'm the foreigner. The nation's on fire and I'm the foreigner.
