“To Belong” is a song from Daughter’s second album entitled Not To Disappear, which was released on 15 January 2016.
I think “To Belong” is one that maybe doesn’t stand out on the record as much as the others, but really it’s like a little beast. It’s like a little ‘Fuck you all!’
—Elena Tonra, in...
[Verse 1]
Don't you think you'll be better off
Without me tied around your neck, it's like the weight your
Body pulls me underneath where I can't breathe
I'm tired of talking, I've been screaming all day
[Verse 2]
Don't you think we'll be better off
Without temptation to regress, to fake tenderness
Waiting to see someone we won't know for long
In cities we'll only leave
[Chorus]
Don't you think we'd be better off
Without the pressure to address
A room of faces
Waiting to hear some strange woman speak in tongues
On lonely Fridays
Oh my loveless drunk, baby
Loveless drunk, baby
[Bridge]
I don't want to belong, I don't want to belong
I don't want to belong, to you, to anyone
I don't want to belong, I don't want to belong
I don't want to belong, to you, to anyone
I don't want to belong, I don't want to belong
[Chorus]
Don't you think we'd be better off
Without the pressure to address
A room of faces
Waiting to hear some strange woman speak in tongues
On lonely Fridays
Oh my loveless drunk, baby
Loveless drunk, baby
