There are songs you write because they sound good. Then there are songs like Loner - songs you write because they had to be written.
Drawn from my 18-song musical project Loner, this track stands apart. Not because it’s louder or darker. But because it bleeds truth - the kind you don’t admit out loud. The kind you carry like broken glass in your pocket.
If you lived in Sweden in the mid 90s, you might’ve heard this on NRJ. Maybe late at night. Maybe when the world outside matched the one inside.
Lyrics
Feel me, trace me
Losing grip inside this dream
Hear my voice, see my face
Loner
You -
Know me
Fight me
Too late
Never - ending war - within
Now, breathe in, hold still
Breaking down behind the scenes
Watch the sky, count the cracks
Loner
The Fire Behind the Silence
This isn’t just a song about isolation. It’s about survival in the ruins of yourself. About standing in the fallout of everything that was taken, everything that broke, and saying:
You’ll die in shame by my hands.
It’s not a threat. It’s not revenge. It’s resistance. It’s that final stand we all take - not against someone else, but against the versions of ourselves that tried to give up. It’s the scream from the shadows, the refusal to go quietly.
Loner doesn’t ask for sympathy. It offers a mirror. You’ll see what you’ve tried to forget. The war behind the smile. The fire behind the silence.
I never stuck to one genre - my music walks across emotional landscapes. This one? It walks the frostbitten plains of Greenland, the silence of childhood, the echo of voices that should’ve never been silenced. If you’ve ever stood under a starless sky and felt something watching, then you already know this song.
This One Never Lets Go
Loner is one of many. I’ve written hundreds. Some melodic, some brutal, some tender. This one just hit first.
Because this one never lets go.
