about

"A.L.E.X." is a pop ballad about a young man choosing the wrong path of life. The title is both a name and an acronym standing for "all lies excused with ecstasy". It's not a song about drug abuse. It's a song about self-rejection, pretending a better self and ending in a desaster.

lyrics

You were such a shy guy
but I can't keep watching you cry
I'm the only one who knows your truth
and the minds that you bemused

Narrator of so many lies
In fear of dropping your disguise
cause you look like your ego who died

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
still drowning in your fantasy
Are you searching for an answer
or for a better...

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
your life has been a misery
Don't keep reminding those years
where you've been rejected

You were such a silly boy
but they treated you like a toy
This was the reason for your weakness
shammed coolness turned to bleakness

Narrator of a broken dream
Your hope is vanishing like steam
See your blue eyes turning dark and grey

All lies excused with ecstasy
There's more in life than you have seen
Why have you stabbed the one you've been

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
your life has been a misery
Don't keep reminding those years
where you've been rejected

Still drowning in despair
waiting for someone to care
I said that you’d believe in you
but you surrender

A.L.E.X
Why don't you leave your lies
release yourself from your disguise
There are so many things that
you can do without

A.L.E.X.
All lies excused with ecstasy
still drowning in your fantasy
Are you searching for an answer
or for a better...

A.L.E.X
All lies excused with ecstasy
life needn't be a misery
