The Louvre
Lorde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Interesting Facts ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, summer slipped us underneath her tongue
Our days and nights are perfumed with obsession
Half of my wardrobe is on your bedroom floor
Use our eyes, throw our hands overboard

I am your sweetheart psychopathic crush
Drink up your movements, still I can't get enough
I overthink your p-punctuation use
Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do

A rush at the beginning
I get caught up, just for a minute
But lover, you're the one to blame, all that you're doing
Can you hear the violence?
Megaphone to my chest

Broadcast the boom boom boom boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Broadcast the boom boom boom boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Broadcast the boom boom boom boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Broadcast the boom boom boom boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Broadcast the boom boom boom boom
And make 'em all dance to it

Our thing progresses, I call and you come through
Blow all my friendships to sit in hell with you
But we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the Louvre
Down the back, but who cares, still the Louvre

Okay I know that you are not my type (still I fall)
I'm just the sucker who let you fill her mind (but what about love?)
Nothing wrong with it, supernatural
Just move in close to me, closer, you'll feel it coasting

A rush at the beginning
I get caught up, just for a minute
But lover, you're the one to blame, all that you're doing
Can you hear the violence?
Megaphone to my chest

Broadcast the boom boom boom boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Broadcast the boom boom boom boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Broadcast the boom boom boom boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Broadcast the boom boom boom boom
And make 'em all dance to it
Broadcast the boom boom boom boom
And make 'em all dance to it

Overall Meaning

"The Louvre" by Lorde is a song about being caught up in the passionate whirlwind of a new relationship. The opening verse sets the tone for the song with the imagery of "summer slipping us underneath her tongue" and the obsessive nature of being in love. The singer of the song is so consumed by their crush that "half of my wardrobe is on your bedroom floor," showing the intensity of their physical and emotional connection.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the power of their relationship to make them feel alive and the singer's desire to broadcast it to the world. The use of the word "violence" in the lyric "Can you hear the violence? Megaphone to my chest" hints at the potentially destructive nature of the relationship, but the singer seems willing to take that risk for the sake of love.


The second verse of the song explores the singer's doubts and reservations about their relationship, admitting that their crush is not their usual type and that they worry about the consequences of getting too involved. However, the song ends on a triumphant note, with the declaration that they are the "greatest" and that their love will be immortalized like a work of art in the famous Louvre Museum in Paris. Overall, "The Louvre" is a complex and passionate exploration of the highs and lows of falling in love.

Naomi

Se eu pudesse descrever o dia que nos conhecemos com uma música, eu faria com essa. Ainda é incrível pense que faz um ano e dois meses que eu estou do seu lado. Um ano de chamegos, beijos, encontros e desencontros. Mas mesmo entre tudo isso, uma única coisa não mudava: o quão éramos loucos um pelo outro...

Próxima pista:
Queria eu poder ver
Sem ver
Sentir
Sem poder tocar
Se houvesse uma maneira
Se ao menos eu pudesse fotografar
Continuaria sendo um mistério
A forma de amar?
