"Happy Loner" lyrics

MARINA Lyrics

"Happy Loner"

Waking up late, I feel demotivated
Everything's wrong, guess my thoughts escalated
When I'm alone, things are under control
When I'm alone, I can turn off the world

I try to escape, but I can't lose my mind
That's why I can live a conventional life

'Cause I'm happy being a loner
Happy being a loner
I'm sick of it all, I wanna give it up
But I'm on the edge
And I feel like everything's too much, too much, hmm
Too much, too much, hmm

They don't understand, why I like being alone
I don't wanna be so accessible
Emotionally I'm on the edge of a knife
That's how I learn, that's how I learn to survive

If I'm alone then you'll never find
The truth about me that I'm losing my mind
And it's too hard to pretend
So I stay away from my friends

'Cause I'm happy being a loner
Happy being a loner
I'm sick of it all, I wanna give it up
But I'm on the edge
And I feel like everything's too much, too much, hmm
Too much, too much, hmm

I pick up on everybody's energy
Always used to feel like there was something wrong with me
(Wrong with me)
When the world is overwhelming, I need to breathe

'Cause I'm happy being a loner
Happy being a loner
I'm sick of it all, I wanna give it up
But I'm on the edge
And I feel like everything's too much, too much, hmm
Too much, too much, hmm
Too much, too much, hmm
Too much, too much, hmm

"Happy Loner", released on the 3rd of December, 2021, is the fifth single overall and the first single from the deluxe edition of the album "Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land". When the track was still a demo, Marina told her fans about it on the "DOM POP" podcast on the 25th of June, 2021, "You will freak out at the finished one because it's more beautiful than I could have even imagined or aimed for, and the thing is I recorded it with my producer and then I just didn't hear [...] a final version until way after I decided what was going on the album, and I was like 'Shit, this is really good'. You'll be happy with it, it's a beautiful ballad." Announcing the song on Twitter on the 11th of September, 2021, Marina still captioned her post with "happy loner - home demo".
