Looking for the after party to begin
I'm going down toâ?¦La La land.
I hope to see you soon inâ?¦La La Land.
Chorus:
Now I need to go. Who's going to give me a ride to the aftershow (me!!!),
I hope that I have enough change, so I can make my brain rearrange
I'm going down toâ?¦La La Land,
I hope to see you soon inâ?¦La La Land
Chorus
Ohhhh, what have I done,
What happened to the mornin.
I passed the time away, high today!
(I've got to find a way to fill the space in time (7x), I've got to fill the space)

La La land
Is where I need to be,
La La Land,
Is the place that (ah) sets me free
Chorus (4x)

Has anybody seen my brain today? (hey?)
Can anybody pay my rent today? (hey?)
The lyrics to Green Velvet's "La La Land" describe the experience of someone who is deeply entrenched in party culture and the use of drugs. The singer expresses their desire to continue partying, even after a night of revelry has ended. They're searching for the "after party," a common term used in the clubbing and rave scene to describe a continuation of festivities after an event has officially ended. The singer then says they're headed to "La La Land," which is a euphemism for a state of mind that is disconnected from reality or experiencing deep intoxication. They're hoping to see their friends at this state of mind soon.
The chorus of the song discusses the power of drugs, particularly the small pills that are typically associated with rave culture, to create a sense of thrill and euphoria while destroying brain cells. The singer is aware of the price they're paying for their partying, but is nonetheless compelled to continue. The song ends with the singer having lost track of time and space due to their drug use, looking for a way to "fill the space in time." In summary, "La La Land" stresses the importance of continued excitement and joy in the face of potential consequences.

I love the beginning of this song. A dance thriller song . The mystic is superb and creative.

Hard to express just how good this song made you feel coming on in a techno club full of people loved-up and having the time of their lives on ecstasy... and to think that was, what, almost 18 years ago? ho-ly-shit 😎 Green Velvet has always been a star, lucky to have seen him play many-a-time. 40 now! Got my first techno night in YEARS in November 9th @ Voodoo in Liverpool 🤘🔥🔥🔥
