La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
Hush, don't speak
When you spit your venom, keep it shut I hate it
When you hiss and preach
About your new messiah 'cause your theories catch fire
I don't mean to judge
But when you read your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it, I go
La la, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
I find a way to block it, I go
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
If our love is running out of time
I won't count the hours, rather be a coward
When our worlds collide
I'm gonna drown you out before I lose my mind
I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you read your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it, I go
La la, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
I find a way to block it, I go
La la, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
I find a way to block it, oh
La la, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
I find a way to block it, I go
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it, I go
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it, I go
La la, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
The song "La La La" is a collaboration between Naughty Boy and Sam Smith, released in 2013. The song is about blocking out negativity and toxic people in one's life, as expressed through the repeated phrase "la la la" in the chorus. The verses describe the frustration one feels when confronted with someone who constantly preaches and spews negativity, and the desire to drown out their words to maintain one's own sanity.
The opening lines "Hush, don't speak / When you spit your venom, keep it shut I hate it / When you hiss and preach / About your new messiah 'cause your theories catch fire" paint a picture of someone who is constantly speaking negatively and trying to push their beliefs onto others. The singer then declares that they cannot find the silver lining in this person's words, implying that their negativity has no redeeming qualities. The chorus suggests a rejection of these toxic words, instead choosing to go "la la la" and block out the negativity.
The second verse deals with the potential end of a relationship, but in a similar vein to the first verse, the emphasis is on the desire to block out sadness and negativity. The repeated lines "I'm covering my ears like a kid / When your words mean nothing, I go la la la / I'm turning up the volume when you speak / 'Cause if my heart can't stop it / I find a way to block it" further reinforce the theme of self-preservation and blocking out negativity.
