Yes Louis
Elaine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Qué puedo hacer para no despertar
Otra vez en el mismo lugar
Un hotel de mala muerte no me sanará
Prefiero luchar y morir
O será luchar por morir
¿Qué importa cuando la salida es esta?

No puedo negar que me gusta beber,

Fumar y ser puta, o todo a la vez
Pero por mi madre que debo cambiar
Te juro mañana no será igual

Yes Louis

Si la vida me da otra oportunidad
Prefiero dejarla para ir a bailar
Porque no dejaré un prejuicio fugaz,
Acabar con las ganas de llegar al final.
No termina mi sed de otro trago a color,
El veneno que sube para hacerme bajar,

""Gracias mademoiselle, wanna go to my place?""
Voulez vous coucher avec moi?

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Yes Louis" by Elaine. The song explores themes of self-destructive behavior, a desire for change, and the pursuit of pleasure.

The first verse reflects a sense of frustration and repetition in the singer's life. They express a desire to break free from their current situation, symbolized by staying in a run-down hotel. They contemplate whether it's worth fighting and potentially dying for, suggesting a feeling of hopelessness or resignation.

The second verse focuses on the singer's vices - drinking, smoking, and engaging in promiscuous behavior. They admit to enjoying these activities but also acknowledge the need for change, possibly influenced by their mother's influence. They promise themselves that tomorrow will be different.

The repetition of the phrase "Yes Louis" throughout the song acts as a sort of rallying cry or affirmation. It could be interpreted as a declaration of acceptance of one's desires and choices, regardless of societal expectations or judgments.

In the final lines, the singer contemplates the pursuit of pleasure and the transient nature of life. They prioritize enjoying themselves, indicating a willingness to leave behind societal constraints and live in the present. The French phrases, ""Gracias mademoiselle, wanna go to my place? Voulez vous coucher avec moi?"" further emphasize the embrace of pleasure and potential opportunities for a different kind of experience.

Overall, "Yes Louis" captures the singer's inner struggle, their acknowledgment of their vices, and their desire for change while embracing a hedonistic perspective on life. The lyrics depict a complex and layered exploration of personal desires, societal constraints, and the pursuit of happiness.
