EarlyRise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 can't find your silver lining
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 la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la la la la la"
Yes, our love is running out of time
I won't count the hours
Rather be a coward
When our words 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
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
"La la, la la la la la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la la la la la"
(I find a way to block it)
"La la la, la la la la la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la la la la la"
(I find a way to block it)
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 find a way to block it
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go "la la la" ("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 la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la la la la la"
(I find a way to block it)
"La la la, la la la la la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la la la la la"
The lyrics to EarlyRise's song La La La convey the idea of blocking out negative energy and toxic people. The singer expresses their disdain towards someone who constantly speaks negatively or preaches about their ideologies. The use of "hiss and preach" and "your theories catch fire" imply a sense of danger and discomfort that the singer feels in this person's presence. The line "our love is running out of time" suggests that the toxic person may have been someone the singer was close to but has now become too problematic to continue that relationship.
The chorus, "I'm covering my ears like a kid when your words mean nothing, I go 'la la la'" emphasizes the idea of shutting out negativity by physically blocking the ears and using the phrase "la la la" to mimic the sounds children make to avoid hearing something unpleasant. Turning up the volume when this person speaks is a way of using the distraction to prevent their words from having any significant impact. The singer acknowledges that they can't find a silver lining in this person's words and their speeches become exhausting, suggesting that the toxic person is always the victim of some kind of injustice, which in turn creates a negative atmosphere between them.
Overall, the lyrics of La La La explore the concept of self-care, protecting oneself, and choosing to extricate harmful people or energy. It encourages listeners to realize the negative voices around them and to take active steps towards avoiding their harmful influence.

Hush, don't speak
When you spit your venom
Be quiet and don't say anything when you say hurtful things
Keep it shut I hate it
When you hiss and preach
About your new messiah
'Cause your theories catch fire
Don't try to force your beliefs on to me because I don't agree with them
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 can't see the good in what you're saying, I'm not trying to be critical but hearing you talk is exhausting, I can't take it
Yes, our love is running out of time
I won't count the hours
Rather be a coward
When our words collide
I'm gonna drown you out
Before I lose my mind
Our relationship is deteriorating, I don't want to keep track of how much time is left, I don't want to face our problems, I'll ignore you before I lose my sanity
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 la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la la la la la"
I'll close my ears and sing 'la la la' like a child when you're speaking nonsense, but if it's too loud, I'll just find a way to cancel the noise so I don't have to hear you

Tirsa Mejia
Lol be realistic here!! Cant ever compare to the original otherwise her video would have 300 million views, its good just not better
Children Of The Light
The only reason this couldn't be better is because it didn't come from their soul, so they could never understand and perform the song as it was meant to be. As I song writer myself, I'd like to think I understand this a bit.
