Lorde - A World Alone (Audio)

“A World Alone” is the album closer of Pure Heroine. In the final, bitter moments, Lorde sings about having the one right person, despite feeling like an outcast among society.

It was first debuted live at Le Poisson Rouge.

I OWN NOTHING!

[fede-tkrm]

i love lorde so much, but listenning to her albums makes me feel like i have missed out on a million different things when i was a teenager. i really wish i could have lived a more exciting life in those years

[marksubsky]

We've got a million bad habits to kick and not sleeping is definitely one.

[adeline]

"We've both got a million bad habits to kick. Not sleeping is one. We're biting our nails. Youre biting my lip, im biting my tongue. " idk why but I really like this line

[bryonyayaka]

"not sleeping is one" as i nod along to this song at 4:49 am

[TheCorybrandon]

This song is FAR too under-appreciated! This and 400 Lux are my personal favorites from Pure Heroine no doubt!

[Androko]

Don't you think that it's boring how people talk?
Let 'em talk.

[porcelynne]

That slow burn wait while it gets dark, bruising the sun.
I feel grown up with you in your car, I know it's dumb.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

We've both got a million bad habits to kick, not sleeping is one.
We're biting our nails, you're biting my lip, I'm biting my tongue.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
People are talking, people are talking (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
People are talking, people are talking

Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it.
They all wanna get rough, get away with it.
Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone, world alone, we're all alone.

All my fake friends and all of their noise, complain about work
They're studying business, I study the floor, and you haven't stopped smoking all night.
Maybe the Internet raised us, or maybe people are jerks.
(People are talking, people are talking)
But not you
(People are talking, people are talking)

Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it.
They all wanna get rough, get away with it.
Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone, world alone, we're all alone.

All the double-edged people and schemes.
They make a mess then go home and get clean.
You're my best friend, and we're dancing in a world alone, a world alone, we're all alone.

I know we're not everlasting
We're a train wreck waiting to happen
One day the blood won't flow so gladly
One day we'll all get still
(people are talking, people are talking)
(people are talking, people are talking)
Get still
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
People are talking, people are talking (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
People are talking, people are talking
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
People are talking, people are talking (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
People are talking, people are talking

Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it.
They all wanna get rough, get away with it.
Let 'em talk 'cause we're dancing in this world alone, world alone, we're all alone.

All the double-edged people and schemes.
They make a mess then go home and get clean.
You're my best friend and we're dancing in a world alone, a world alone, we're all alone.

People are talking, people are talking
People are talking, people are talking
People are talking, people are talking
People are talking, people are talking

Let 'em talk

[Claraalicia]

I feel 16 again hearing this, and I love it so much. ❤

[disorganzedchaos]

I love how when this album loops it goes from "people are talking, let them talk" in this song to "don't you think it's boring how people talk" in Tennis Court

[lucashnd]

Billie Eilish surely had this album as inspiration for "WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?". I've heard a ton of references in other songs, but the background noise in 2:45 sounds a lot like "xanny". The "choir" background accompanied by the bass in "Ribs" was referenced in "when the party is over" as well. Lorde really did that, huh?

[louisbarbosa]

I miss summer 2015😭 literally one of the best years

[marcospalencia]

I went to Chicago with my girlfriend. It was a cold night in September, we just laid down there looking at stars talking about life, waiting for the train to take us to Chicago. She was the one that got me into Lorde. I think about that day we went to Chicago everytime I listen to this song. I love you Ismerai Garcia 💘

[yanstein]

[emthemermaid]

I got chills listening to this for the first time. Wow...

[kooshaalf]

When ever im depressed i listen to her love her voice. Normally i listen to rock and metal songs but in pop genre i love her

[karlasnyder]

To be whole means accepting the good, the bad and the ugly that resides within our humanity. A reflection of what bothers you from someone else is a simple reflection of what the individual struggles to accept.

[camerond.turner]

[kiyomidavis]
