A quietly catchy alt rock track about feeling like an alien in a world full of humans.

LYRICS:

I'm a thing, I'm a thing, I'm a thing
A thing from another world
I'm a thing, I'm a thing, I'm a thing
A thing from another world

What are you feeling each time you see me?
How can you even think nothing is wrong?
Not sure there's even anyone out there
Don't hear me stutter, no, singing my songs
You know I'm hiding when I don't have to
Your eyes are filled up with stars and swirls
I broke your braincase and I broke your backbone
Yo, I'm just a thing from another world

Please stop hiding from me
I'm not hiding from you
Where you going to run now, run now?
Are you trying to leave?
I'm not letting you leave
Only way to be sure

Why am I chasing this broken prey now?
Is it a hunger or dependency?
I might be sad or just so lonely
That's why I copy everything I see
Am I the hero or am I the monster?
I'll let you guess 'til the credits unfurl
But I should warn you it'll be too late then
Cuz I'm just a thing from another world

Please stop hiding from me
I'm not hiding from you
Where you going to run now, run now?
Are you trying to leave?
I'm not letting you leave
Only way to be sure

It's inside of me

I'm a thing, I'm a thing, I'm a thing
A thing from another world
I'm a thing, I'm a thing, I'm a thing
A thing from another world

Can you even tell that I'm inside you?
Dance like a puppet while I make you twirl
I tried to warn you but it's way too late
And now you're just a thing from another world

Please stop hiding from me
I'm not hiding from you
Where you going to run now, run now?
Are you trying to leave?
I'm not letting you leave
Only way to be sure

Please stop hiding from me
I'm not hiding from you
Where you going to run now, run now?
Are you trying to leave?
I'm not letting you leave
Only way to be sure

Please stop hiding
I'm not hiding
Only way to be sure
Please stop trying
I'm not dying
There's no way to be cured

Thing From Another World

THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD

Hey there, y'all! I'm Funk McPuke, an artist and musician originally from Los Angeles, CA but now living in my own little world.

After being in a bunch of punk and metal bands, I started writing and posting my own music here as a way of journaling feels, processing emotions, having fun with sounds, and annoying my neighbors. I decided early on to always just write whatever I was feeling in the moment and never chase an audience or clicks or clout, the result being that my music is a mix of various styles I like in various balances without any attempt to cater to a particular audience or genre. Depending on the song, you might hear a little punk, metal, grunge, electro, rap, post-hardcore, industrial, or any combination of those and other genres. I like to squish different sounds together and see what happens. If it sounds good, has a catchy hook, and makes me want to either cry or jump on my furniture and break stuff, it gets posted. Soundcloud is my place to play around and have a good time making music I enjoy without overthinking it too much. 

Ymmv. If you like one thing and one thing only -- like, if you're one of those people who believes punk has a uniform or something is "not metal" if it doesn't sound like all the other bands you listen to -- this might not be for you. Or maybe it is. Idk. I'm not the boss of you. Give it a listen and decide for yourself. And, hey, if you don't like one song, try another. You might like that one better.

Either way, I'mma keep writing and posting music for myself. But, y'know, if you find some lyrics you connect with, some hook that makes you bounce around your house, or just something to put on while you FINALLY do those dishes that have been stinking up your kitchen for the past week, then welcome. Even though I'm not chasing an audience, I do love getting messages from people who've connected with something I've made. It makes me feel less alone in the world and, for all those people who've messaged me in the past or will message me in the future, I appreciate you. I truly do. Thanks for stopping by and giving me a listen. I may write this music for myself because I think that's the best way to keep it honest, but I still believe music, like all art, is best when it's shared.
