Fontaines D.C. - I Don't Belong Lyrics

Fontaines D.C. Lyrics

"I Don't Belong"

You shoulda heard me in the lounger
Telling people what they was
Spitting out all types of sugar
Just dying for a cause, cause, cause
A smiler slithered to my corner
On a face so true
My word is always in the ready
And I'll attribute that to you

I don't belong to anyone
I don't belong to anyone
I don't belong to anyone
I don't wanna belong to anyone

You shoulda heard him in the bowery
Learning people with a tongue
Cut from second-hand cloth
Make the women feel young

I heard him serving as a soldier
In the annex of the earth
Threw himself before a bullet
And threw the metal to the dirt
Hear the man's word

I don't belong to anyone
I don't belong to anyone
I don't belong to anyone
I don't wanna belong to anyone

I don't belong to anyone
I don't belong to anyone
I don't belong to anyone
I don't wanna belong to anyone
I don't belong to anyone
I don't belong to anyone
I don't belong to anyone
I don't wanna belong to anyone

"I Don't Belong" is the second single from Fontaines D.C.'s studio album "A Hero's Death". The song was premiered on June 10, 2020, accompanied by a music video directed by the band's bassist Conor Deegan and filmed on the east coast of Ireland, in Skerries.

Frontman Grian Chatten explained, "This song is a dismissal of the expectations of other people who consider themselves loyal to you. We wanted it to be a statement, almost like the anti-'Big', which is why we put it as the first song on the new album. This sentiment of not belonging can be liberating in a way, but it's also lonely and sad. We wanted to show both sides of that type of loneliness."
