About This Track

'loner' by joan is a 2023 pop track from the album 'superglue'. The lyrics place the narrator in a room full of seemingly false social performance, where smiles and drinking fail to satisfy, and the atmosphere shifts when someone arrives. The singer describes feeling detached from the crowd, yet signalling recognition and shared understanding, culminating in a sense of being pulled in rather than left out, despite the surrounding company. One line captures the mood with “a bitter taste”.

"loner" is a track by joan, from the album superglue, released 18th April 2023. The track is 2:47 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 7 articles about joan.

Lyrics

loner

Room full of faces, but
They all seem so fake to me
Smiling and drinking, but
It leaves a bitter taste

Then you walked in
Then you walked in
Then you walked in

Something in the air just
Told me you understand me
All of these people just
Parted like the red sea but

I'm all in my head
All in my head
All in my head
I've never let someone in
'Cause

I'm just a loner, hope you don't mind
Come lay here with me
Let's find ourselves in the sky
All of these people make me wanna cry
Let's leave this party and I'll show you where
We can hide

Pulled out my headphones to
Drown out my insecurities
I thought I lost them, but
They're still here mocking me

Then something you did
Something you did
Something you did

Made me feel like I'm floating
As I'm spinning 'round
In your orbit and you
Let yourself in when you said
That

You're just a loner, but I don't mind
Come lay here with me
Let's find ourselves in the sky
All of these people make me wanna cry
Let's leave this party and I'll show you where
We can hide

Write it in stone
Together alone
You make me high
When you're here with me
I find myself in the sky

joan: "Pop can be whatever you want it to be"

Alan Thomas and Steven Rutherford - aka Arkansas duo joan - make chilled out, grooving retro synth-pop tunes that call back to the likes of 80s legends Pet Shop Boys in their sparkly heyday.
