You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil, could you be an angel
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I'm floating, leaves my body glowing

They say be afraid
You're not like the others, futuristic lovers
Different DNA, they don't understand you

You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light

Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your love and fill me with your poison
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be a victim, ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien, your touch so foreign
Its supernatural, extraterrestrial

You're so supersonic
Wanna feel your powers, stun me with your lasers
Your kiss is cosmic, every move is magic

You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light

Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your love, and fill me with your poison
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be your victim, ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien, your touch so foreign
Its supernatural, extraterrestrial

There is this transcendental, on another level
Boy, you're my lucky star
I wanna walk on your wave length
And be there when you vibrate
For you I risk it all, all

Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your love and fill me with your poison
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be your victim, ready for abduction
Boy, you're an alien, your touch so foreign
It's supernatural, extraterrestrial
Extraterrestrial, extraterrestrial

Boy, you're an alien, your touch so foreign
Its supernatural, extraterrestrial

    General Comment:I believe that each song has a different meaning to each person but to me it means she found someone she loves but he's different than other people, and people probably call him weird because he's different. And she loves that about him, she loves that he is not just another 'normal' person. :)

    Translation:This song is about Lucifer, he is the "Rain man". Google anything i write inform yourself don't just take the words of others.


    You're so hypnotizing
    Could you be the devil, could you be an angel
    Your touch magnetizing
    Feels like I'm floating, leaves my body glowing

    Lucifer the Fallen angel from god is hypnotizing his power is so amazing that she is drawn to him.
    He can take her to a new high that she never dreamed of.

    They say be afraid
    You're not like the others, futuristic lovers
    Different DNA, they don't understand you

    BE afraid of Lucifer he is the master of deceit he IS NOT like the others because he is evil.
    He is the angel that got man to eat from the tree of knowledge and begin our advancement of technology
    he is the MASTER of knowledge.

    You're from a whole other world
    A different dimension
    You open my eyes
    And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light

    He is from the 4th dimension he is a being of energy no longer having a physical body, which is why in the video she gives him a "rebirth". He opened her eyes to the Illuminati and she is willing to go with him.


    Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
    Infect me with your love and fill me with your poison
    Take me, t-t-take me
    Wanna be a victim, ready for abduction
    Boy, you're an alien, your touch so foreign
    Its supernatural, extraterrestrial

    She wants to go with Lucifer because of his promises, she is wanting to learn the secrets he has and knowledge of things that she hasn't even begun to think of yet, she is essentially excited.


    You're so supersonic
    Wanna feel your powers, stun me with your lasers
    Your kiss is cosmic, every move is magic

    His powers being unlimited and his knowledge vast he turns her into the star she always desired.



    Do not be deceived by the lyrics, there are messages within the songs and movies of Hollywood it is filled with subliminal messages that you need to bring to your conscious mind. Don't be a sheep inform yourself.

    Love n Light

    General Comment:I totally agree. People need to research ancient Egypt, Aliens, Illuminati. It is ALL real. If you listen to the lyrics of this song and especially if you watch the music video there is no doubt it represents the story of when she sold her soul to the Devil or "rain man" (which is represented by a robot with a rain drop shaped symbol on it's torso) but I believe it could possibly be a secret message that Katy Perry has written for the audience to catch onto. I think she is explaining to us how it works behind the scenes, backstage, so that we are all aware...remember her origin was a heavily christian based faith. She is almost working as our insider who is presenting us with secret information.

    My Opinion:Fact: Katy Perry's "E.T." is about the Doctor. Thus; Fact: Katy Perry met the Doctor.

    My Opinion:I love this song. I am not a big Katy Perry fan (I really don't find her voice of excellent quality), but this song is such a turn on. It's hauntingly sexy and sensual. Why she (or her people) ever wanted Kanye West in the song is beyond me; this version is SO much better than the one featuring him.

    General Comment:So naive... It seems to be about great sex when cheating/having an affair.

    All references to alien, et, supernatural because the person is new in comparison to her partner. So many lines in it are so obviously sexual, possibly with some kinky type tendencies 'take me, wanna be your victim, ready for abduction'

    'Your kiss is cosmic, every move is magic' etc etc - Like the feelings of initial attraction. Kiss me, infect me with your love, fill me with your poison - She wants his love but it is poison because she is in a relationship.

    And clearly - 'For you I'll risk it all' - risking her relationship

    My Interpretation:Alright, so the album version I have doesn't have West singing in it. I know the video has him, but he didn't figure into my version of the song when I first interpreted it and I was never impressed with his live performances anyway... so I'm just going to ignore him! This is, after all, the forum that has the lyrics posted without West's ft.

    I'm going to weave the video and the song together. The comments other people have made about celestial beings, whether aliens or angels, are very fascinating. While some interpretations seem a little... reactionary, let's give them some substance.

    Context first; the being singing in the video is falling from heaven. That comparison could be either the angelic fall from grace OR an alien leaving the stars to be on Earth. In my interpretation, they are the same thing. It's the action of FALLING that's important. I know most people are saying that the song is about the man being an alien. That's an easy, direct interpretation; woman and alien sex. Ho hum. I think the video makes it much more complicated. What's clever is that SHE'S FALLING FOR A MAN, not an alien.

    So, we have a creature falling from grace for a man. It starts out as foreign, unfamiliar, misshapen, then takes a vaguely humanoid figure. It sings about encountering this man who is so "hypnotizing." Not sure if it's angelic or devilish at first, it can't help but be drawn to be with him. When I first met a guy that beautiful and charismatic, the experience was overwhelming. I was afraid of getting swept away. How can you be sure that someone like that would treat you right? He could be an angel or a devil. I understand that sentiment that the creature is singing about.

    But it's too late, the creature is falling for this guy. He's from a whole other world that the one it is from. And suddenly, it becomes a she. Notice that the creature changes as it draws closer to the guy she is falling for; she becomes a woman for the first time, beautiful... human. It turns out the man really is different than other guys. He's unbelievable, his very touch leaves her glowing, ecstatic (the sex must be phenomenal). She opens her eyes (literally in the video, she gets eyes for the first time), and suddenly she realizes that she would be taken "into the light" for this man. She would become a better person. Not be dark anymore. Maybe even die for him (going into the light).

    As she falls for him more she changes to be more human, moved by how much she loves him unconditionally. Until she touches down, kisses him and is finally with him on Earth, feet on the ground. The veil falls away and we recognize that she is not like him. She never was. But that's the whole point, he's not like other men; she was alien, barely even human from the beginning. The song is about falling for someone so hard and then being blessed by it actually being true love. It's by being saved by that faith in another person. That one person. That one unfathomable person that brought you to the pinnacle of what it means to be human.
