Loner
Yungblud Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my friends'll desert again
And I don't wanna be a loner
In my head, I can sleep when I'm dead
Baby, don't let the hype dilute ya (na na na)

I got no want for the quiet life
No forced up smiles over tired eyes
Give me a taste of the riot life
'Cause I'd rather be a martyr than grow tomatoes
Keep the young between your teeth
Take the love, take the doves, take the self-belief
Make your shoes look squeaky clean
But if you want to be a leader, stop being a cheater

So bounce if you've had enough
Of the people you know
So bounce if you've had enough
And just let go

All my friends'll desert again
And I don't wanna be a loner (na na na)
In my head, I can sleep when I'm dead
Baby, don't let the hype dilute ya (na na na)

Now lock me up in a riot van
As I hold up my fingers to this old man
'Cause he made sure my future plans
Became a time bomb, sleep with the lights on
Treating the planet like a playground
Destructure their distractions to cover up the shake down
Hey now, you better not let me out

All my friends'll desert again
And I don't wanna be a loner (na na na)




In my head, I can sleep when I'm dead
Baby, don't let the hype dilute ya (na na na)

You know what I mean yeah?
You know what I mean yeah?
You know what I mean yeah?
Do you know what I mean yeah?

You know what I mean yeah?
You know what I mean yeah?
You know what I mean yeah?
Do you know what I mean yeah?

So bounce if you've had enough
Of the people you know
So bounce if you've had enough
Of the alter-ego
So bounce if you've had enough
Of the people you know
So bounce if you've had enough
And just let go

All my friends'll desert again
And I don't wanna be a loner
In my head, I can sleep when I'm dead
Baby, don't let the hype dilute ya (na na na)

All my friends'll desert again
And I don't wanna be a loner (na na na)
In my head, I can sleep when I'm dead
Baby, don't let the hype dilute ya (na na na)

You know what I mean yeah?
You know what I mean yeah?
You know what I mean yeah?
Do you know what I mean yeah?

You know what I mean yeah?
You know what I mean yeah?
You know what I mean yeah?
Do you know what I mean yeah?

(Woah, woah, woah, woah)

Overall Meaning

Yungblud's song "Loner" speaks about the push and pull between wanting to be part of a community and wanting to stand out as an individual. He expresses his fears of being alone and abandoned by his friends yet again but also his desire for a life full of passion and excitement. The lyrics suggest that Yungblud feels like an outsider who doesn't fit in with everyone else and doesn't want to subscribe to society's norms. He is determined to follow his own path and not let himself be swayed by the opinions of others or the expectations of society.


In the chorus, Yungblud sings, "All my friends'll desert again, And I don't wanna be a loner." He is afraid of feeling isolated and disconnected from friends, his only support system. The repetition of the phrase "na na na" at the end of the line sounds like he's trying to convince himself that he won't be left alone.


The song's bridge refers to Yungblud's previous song, "Hope for the Underrated Youth," which speaks about challenging authority and standing up for your beliefs. The lyrics, "Now lock me up in a riot van, As I hold up my fingers to this old man, 'Cause he made sure my future plans Became a time bomb, sleep with the lights on," suggest that he's willing to take risks and fight for what he believes, even if it means getting into trouble and being punished.


Overall, Yungblud's "Loner" is a powerful and relatable song about the desire for both belonging and individuality, and the struggle to find a balance between the two.


Line by Line Meaning

All my friends'll desert again
I've been through this over and over, my friends always leave me alone


And I don't wanna be a loner
I don't want to be alone, but I'm scared to be hurt again


In my head, I can sleep when I'm dead
I can shut down completely, and that's what scares me the most


Baby, don't let the hype dilute ya (na na na)
Don't let the noise of the world distract you from what you truly feel


I got no want for the quiet life
I don't want a peaceful or boring life, I want to make noise


No forced up smiles over tired eyes
I'm tired of pretending to be happy when I'm not


Give me a taste of the riot life
I want to experience the energy and passion of a revolution


'Cause I'd rather be a martyr than grow tomatoes
I'd rather fight for what I believe, even if it means dying, than live a mundane life


Keep the young between your teeth
Hold on to your youth and passion tight, so you don't lose yourself


Take the love, take the doves, take the self-belief
Keep your love for life, peace, and yourself, even when times are tough


Make your shoes look squeaky clean
Appearances don't matter, it's what's inside that counts


But if you want to be a leader, stop being a cheater
To lead others, you need to first lead yourself with integrity


Now lock me up in a riot van
I'm ready to fight for what I believe, even if it means getting arrested


As I hold up my fingers to this old man
I'm showing defiance to those who stand in the way of progress


'Cause he made sure my future plans became a time bomb, sleep with the lights on
Those in power are preventing the younger generation from having a better future, it's haunting us


Treating the planet like a playground
We're not taking care of our home, and it's only a matter of time before we destroy it completely


Destructure their distractions to cover up the shake down
Those in power create distractions to hide their corruption and greed


Hey now, you better not let me out
If you lock me up, I'll only get angrier and more determined to fight for what's right


Of the people you know
I'm tired of being around the same crowd with the same mindset


Of the alter-ego
I'm done pretending to be someone I'm not, it's time to be true to myself


And just let go
It's time to free myself from negativity and start anew


You know what I mean yeah?
Do you see what I'm saying? Can you relate?


Do you know what I mean yeah?
Are you feeling what I'm feeling? Are you ready for a change?

I’m proud of you for waking up.
I’m proud of you for brushing your hair.
I’m proud of you for blinking.
I’m proud of you for breathing.
I’m proud of you for making your bed.
I’m proud of you for eating.
I’m proud of you for TRYING to eat.
I’m proud of you for drinking water.
I’m proud of you for being here.
I’m proud of you for being you.
I’m proud of you for smiling.
I’m proud of you for continuing on even when things are difficult for you.
I’m proud of you for standing up.
I’m proud of you for blinking.
I’m proud of you for getting out of bed after spending the whole day in bed.
I’m proud of you for brushing your teeth.
I’m proud of you for standing up.
I’m proud of you for sitting down.
I’m proud of you for defending yourself.
I’m proud of you for believing in yourself.
I’m proud of you for simply trying.
I’m proud of you for being alive.

When people say 2000s they mean the decade like the 90s. 00s hasn't caught on yet I guess

@jiwonjane6851

YASSSSSSSSS

@micki4076

It sounds like 90's / 2000's, like grunge mixed with rap and rock

Sounds like an early 2000s pop punk song with an indie twist.
