Lauv Opens Up About His Demons In New Single & Video “Modern Loneliness”

Another day, another Lauv song that I LOVE.

This morning, he released a new single and music video called “Modern Loneliness”, and according to his Twitter, it’s his "favorite song he’s ever made" and "most important" song of his career. So, you KNOW it’s magical and real as hell.

I’m trying to think back on a song that he’s released that I didn’t like and I can’t! This guy knows how to write incredibly mesmerizing songs, complete with simple yet relatable lyrics and an addicting beat.

The video is full of bright colors and shows him singing his lyrics while laying in a field of yellow flowers. As the video pans out, you see other people around him, and I think it’s supposed to match his lyric of “we’re never alone but always depressed.” Deep.

I love the mix of his dark lyrics and the colorful video. Symbolic.

Scroll down for the full lyrics, where he opens up about his father, his depression, and more.

Cheers to you, Lauv, for being an inspiration to others to be open about their demons.

Incredible, right?!

Look at how vulnerable his reactions are about the song! We love you Lauv.

Full lyrics:

I’ve been thinking about my father lately, the person that he made me, the person I’ve become

And I’ve been trying to fill all of this empty, but fuck I’m still so empty

Yeah, I could use some love

And I’ve been trying to find a reason to get up

Been trying to find a reason for this stuff

In bedroom and my closet, the baggage in my heart is still so dark

Modern loneliness

We’re never alone but always depressed, yeah

Love my friends to death but I never call them, I never text them

La di da di da, yeah

You get what you give and you give what you get, so

Modern loneliness

We love to get high but we don’t know how to come down

If I could break my DNA to pieces, rid of all my demons

If I could cleanse my soul

Then I could fill the world with all my problems, but shit that wouldn’t solve them

So I’m left here alone

And I’ve been trying to find a reason to get up

Been trying to find a reason for this stuff

In bedroom and my closet, the baggage in my heart is still so dark

Modern loneliness

We’re never alone but always depressed, yeah

Love my friends to death but I never call them, I never text them

La di da di da, yeah

You get what you give and you give what you get, so

Modern loneliness

We love to get high but we don’t know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down

We don’t know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down

We don’t know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down

We don’t know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down

We don’t know how to come down
