don't quite belong - original song | dodie

lol yes I know it’s September I’m sorry
wrote this about waking up in the wrong dimension/version of ur universe and struggling to socialise lol
I’m taking my time in the back of room
Don’t assume I’m as cold as I seem
Widen the eyes, show the teeth, Holding hands
like it’s planned, how do they know what they mean
I go up to a friend grab his arm what’s the code
i should know? do you struggle like me
he says finish your drink, then we’ll bounce, get it down
Hit the town I still don’t know what he means
Am I
Missing something vital here?
Cause I
Woke up feeling kind of weird
Guess I’ll just pretend - play along
Till they figure it out - I don’t quite belong
Mmmm, mmmm
Fake it till you make it but I’m getting it wrong
think I’ve figured it out I don’t quite belong
Mmmm, mmm
Suddenly face to a face, man to man
understand? I say yes but I don’t
It’s working a charm, here take this, you’ll be wired
But I’m tired, I’d rather smoke it alone
In goes the drink and the fire and out
Comes the doubt and the stutter and shame
I chew over a word, but it’s wrong, No I’m fine,
What’s the time, I think I’m done with this game

i feel like a new dodie era has started, her lyrics are getting more complicated and she’s singing more in her lower register! amazing as always of course!

[@doddleoddle]

Ur all so immediately nice thank u 🖤✨ :”)

[@toby_demoss]

Dodie, you're practically a personal psychologist, but instead of asking questions you answer them in abstract ways and I love it. Thank you :) We appreciate you.

I feel like this is that meme where there's all the people standing with their swords on the table with the table being "relating to this song" and all the people are labeled "ppl w/derealization, ppl w/ADHD, autistic ppl, ppl w/anxiety"

[@ember5581]

I don't quite know how dodie makes song writing seem so easy. Her lyrics and music just feel so effortlessly amazing. I love this though!! It feels so comfortable but also pushes me to the edge of my seat because I'm waiting for more, waiting for the next lyric to satiate this thirst the last one brought. I've never really found an artist who has been able to do this for me, I'm so happy I did

[@mariana-vw6jl]

dodie really has that rare gift of always putting into words those feelings I just can’t describe on my own!! aaaaaaaaaAaa

[@mj-claire]

i live for the faded vibe every song sounds like a memory and i just want to live in it

[@4belzzz]

dpdr, adhd, social anxiety, feeling like an alien, why do i not function like all of you? will i ever? feeling like an alien faking being human right now, and always..

[@MarshalDoesStuff]

Weirdly enough I think I kinda like this with minimal production, it feels very intimate and hushed. I'm getting like A Moon Shaped Pool vibes from this.

[@asaleh34]

a mix of social anxiety and adhd in a public setting has me feeling exactly like thisssss omg

[@wandermit6714]

dodie: so this is a song about waking up in a parallel universe

[@Dom-Fera]

oooo yeah yep i like those oooo's, ooo

[@johvie]

This song hits harder when you're sitting off to the side of the Christmas party, it having been made very clear you're an outsider in your own family.

[@melody.-.1839]

I'd barely gotten over "in the bed"! Your songs are so heart breakingly beautiful, keep breaking my heart please

[@bluwalker8255]

Why does this seem like anxiety/autism as a song. Not in an offensive way, quite the opposite. It's amazing :)

[@gabrielavieira2228]

The beggining seems like Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles.

[@feralwizard]

As somebody who has Aspergers I literally started crying listening to this.

[@Cmmf_]

This feels like if Eleanor Rigby was a fast-paced jam. Loving it!

[@jlrainbowpie400]

I remember when i was younger listening to Dodie and being so happy. I would listen too her songs with my dad all the time. Although he was more of a rock kinda person he would listen to it with me cause he knew it made me happy. We didn't normally see eye to eye but when it came to her songs, he'd always be there next to me. I'd be in the garage singing to her songs and my dad would come out and dance with me, and for that short time I felt everything was calm and happy. At his funeral 4 years ago I chose one of her songs to play. No one else understood it but for a moment I wasn't scared.

[@ionaupping220]

This song sounds like a rainy day in the best way
