La La Land
Demi Lovato(데미 로바토) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am confident, but
I still have my moments.
Baby, that's just me.

I'm not a supermodel
I still eat McDonald's.
Baby, that's just me.
Well, some may say I need to be afraid
Of losing everything.
Because of where I
Had my start and,
Where I made my name.
But everything's the same
In a la la land machine. Machine.

Who said I can't wear my
Converse with my dress?
Oh, baby, that's just me!

And who said I can't be single
I have to go out and mingle
Baby, that's not me.
No, no.

Well, some may say I need to be afraid
Of losing everything.
Because of where I
Had my start and,
Where I made my name.
But everything's the same
In a la la land machine. Machine.

Tell me do you feel the way I feel




Cause nothing else is real
In the la-la land appeal.

Well, some may say I need to be afraid
Of losing everything.
Because of where I
Had my start and,
Where I made my name.
But everything's the same
In a la la land machine. Machine.

Well, I'm not gonna change
In a la la land machine
Well I will stay the same
In la la land

Machine

I won't change anything of my life
(I won't change anything of my life)
I'm staying myself tonight
(I'm staying myself tonight)

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Demi Lovato's "La La Land" express a duality within herself that is maintained throughout the song. She speaks of being confident while still having moments of weakness. The following lines illustrate the point further by conveying the message that she doesn't conform to stereotypes or industry expectations of female pop stars. She is confident but still does things on her own terms. She doesn't try to be the perfect supermodel, and she eats McDonald's, something that is so common but often not flaunted by those in the public spotlight. By doing so, she is being true to herself.


The chorus of the song reveals that the confidence that Demi Lovato portrays is often seen as insecurity by some people. The lyrics talk about people talking about her negatively, saying that she should be more afraid of losing everything she has now because of her "start" and "name" rather than being true to herself. The song explains that everything is the same in the "la la land machine" situation in which everyone must be put in a mold and conform to society's expectations, whereas Demi Lovato doesn't want to live her life that way.

FREE WILL , whence is it given, whence does it end?
GOD created us 1stly in SPIRIT then formed our flesh in our mothers wombs.
Free will starts on the day you born here and ends on the day you depart from here. it is not given nor found earlier, as earlier you didn`t exist.
earth is testing ground, as it has became lucifers kingdom.
testing ground for us, to show GOD whom amongst us shall be deceived by lucifer.
All the answers are pretty clear ones - aren´t these? - MANY are deceived and FEW are not.
None of us can`t drag free will beyond humans earthly life, as it is not earlier nor after found nor given.

Jeremiah 1:5 KJV Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

FREE WILL is given for the choices which are here on earth to make.
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Since making choices and being deceived takes place here on earth, free will does not go beyond human earthly lives.
