About This Track

'Attachment Theory' is an alternative track by IDER, from the album 'Late to the World' (2025). The lyrics trace a pattern of emotional self-sabotage, with the speaker “coming on strong” only to retreat as soon as it gets too real. There is talk of pretending, insecurity, and avoiding a way of loving that feels corrosive. The song keeps returning to childhood as a point of origin, framing the urge to replicate the same dynamics as something learnt rather than inevitable. It is a blunt, self-aware piece about breaking a cycle, and refusing to keep loving the old way.

"Attachment Theory" is a single by IDER, from the album Late to the World, released 21st February 2025. The track is 2:48 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about IDER.

Lyrics

Attachment Theory

Coming on strong but leave before the feeling
Turning it on pretending I'm not insecure
I don't wanna love that way
I don't wanna love that way no more
I blame it all on my childhood
I chase it back to where I get it from
I don't wanna love that way
I don't wanna love that way no more

Reading attachment theory
Trying to diagnose myself
I'm giving up I swear to God
This has gotta be somebody else
Tell me a different story
Haven't I heard this one before
It only leaves me lonely
And I don't wanna love that way no more

I'm obsessed with winning back my exes
Letting them beg then leave them like
I did before I don't wanna love that way
I don't wanna love that way no more

So tough and hopelessly avoidant
You don't see me lying on the kitchen floor
I don't wanna cry that way
I don't wanna cry that way no more

Reading attachment theory
Trying to diagnose myself
I'm giving up I swear to God
This has gotta be somebody else
Tell me a different story
Haven't I heard this one before
It only leaves me lonely
And I don't wanna love that way no more

I can change, I wanna change, can I change it?
This time it'll be different, I swear it
I can't trust and there's no one left to blame here
So ambivalent, it all feels the same, but I'm

Reading attachment theory
Trying to diagnose myself
I'm giving up I swear to God
This has gotta be somebody else
Tell me a different story
Haven't I heard this one before
It only leaves me lonely
And I don't wanna love that way no more
