“Happy Loner” is the first single (and fifth overall) from the deluxe edition of her album Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land. The song is described by Marina as “dedicated to the introverts, empaths, socially anxious and those who feel overwhelmed with life most of the damn time”.
Marina first teased...
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I try to escape, but I can't lose my mind
That's why I can't live a conventional life
[Chorus]
'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, mmm
Too much, too much, mmm
[Verse 2]
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 learned, that's how I learned to survive
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
'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, mmm
Too much, too much, mmm
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
'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, mmm
Too much, too much, mmm
Too much, too much, mmm
Too much, too much, mmm
[Outro]
Too much, too much, mmm
Too much, too much, mmm

The weird thing is.. I wrote “happy loner” in jan 2020. And now I can’t relate to it anymore 😂 but that’s the great thing about music. It can have a transformative quality. I’ve changed my life many times just by writing or listening to a song and acknowledging a problem.
