Loner Lyrics

He's just a loner
He never says hello
A friend to no one
He's got no place to go

He don't look happy
He looks through furtive eyes
He ain't got nothing
No one to sympathize

All right now!

He hides himself away
His secrets not revealed
His life just passes by
He keeps himself concealed

A solitary man
an enigmatic child
A riddle never solved
A prisoner exiled

All right now!

I wonder if the loner cannot simulate
A lifeless lived alone plays devil's advocate

Come on now!

Has he ever tried to be happy?
Reach out from inside
Someone on who he can depend
It's getting too late to recover
He won't stand a chance
And into his own hell he'll descend

Don't descend! (x4)

No understanding of things he already knows
He has to live his life and just let out and go, alright yeah!

Communication's an impossibility
He's his own best friend, but he's his own worst enemy
The secrets of his past life deep inside his head
I wonder if he'll be happy when he's dead, come on yeah!

Cover art for Loner lyrics by Black Sabbath

This song hits close to home. I think Geezer wrote this about himself when he was a young man. The way of the outsider.

@Mastodonkey How do you know this fellow?
