Laura
Diego García Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me back
Tell me not
Dont look back
Walk away into the sun
Forget the years
When we were one
Do you still think of me or my skin?
It's your fault
That you think of me
It's your fault
You must think of me
Do you lie or cry when you hear my name or you will never again?
Another man, no surprise
How soon ypu turned ypur perlish eyes
A magazine tells your truth.
I will not try, whats the use
Do you still think of me or my skin?
Think of me when you wispered "I love you" in your ear
It's your fault
That you think of me
It's your fault
You must think of me
Do you lie or cry when you hear my name or you will never again?
Diego Garcia's song "Laura" is all about the pain and regret that comes with a love that has ended. In this song, the singer is pleading with their former lover to take them back, to think of the good times they shared, and not to forget the love they once had for each other.
The opening lines, "Don't pull up, take me back, tell me not, don't look back" express the singer's desire for their former love to stay with them, to not look away and to remember the happy times they shared. The next lines "Walk away into the sun, forget the years when we were one" show the inevitability of the breakup but also suggest the possibility of moving on from the pain.
The chorus repeats the lines "Do you still think of me or my skin? Think of me when you whispered 'I love you' in your ear" with the haunting refrain "It's your fault, that you think of me. It's your fault, you must think of me." These lines show the bitterness and hurt of the singer, who still longs for their former lover even though they are no longer together.
The final lines of the song, "Do you lie or cry when you hear my name or you will never again? Another man, no surprise. How soon you turned your perlish eyes. A magazine tells your truth. I will not try, what's the use" express the pain the singer feels at how quickly their former lover moved on as well as their own feelings of hopelessness at trying to win them back.
Overall, "Laura" is a poignant portrayal of heartbreak and longing. The lyrics cut to the bone and express the singer's emotions with raw clarity.
