Los Angeles
JR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And with no hesitation, she says, "One week and a half"
Move town, there's nothing left around here without her
I wonder, will she make it, wherever she may go?
She listens as I say to her, "You don't have to be alone"
Move town, there's nothing left around here without her
Move town, there's nothing left around here without her
Move town, there's nothing left around here without her
Move town, there's nothing left around here without her
Move town, there's nothing left around here without her
Move town, there's nothing left around here without her
The lyrics to JR's song Los Angeles depicts a sad and poignant story of a dying girl who has only one week and a half left to live. The singer, presumably a friend or lover, seeks answers from the girl, asking "How long do you have?" and receives a quick response, "One week and a half." The girl's impending death casts a shadow over the singer's world, leaving him with nothing to hold on to except memories of her. He urges her to move town, despite the uncertainty of her survival, as there is nothing left in the current town without her.
The song conveys a powerful and emotional message about loss and the fragility of life, exploring how people's experiences can be so different depending on their circumstances. The lyrics implore the girl to seek comfort in companionship, even in her final days.
The repetition of the lyric "Move town, there's nothing left around here without her" is a way of emphasizing the impact she has had on the singer's life and how her departure will leave an emptiness.

Dude basically stole his parent's house and kept them locked out of it and threatened them with a firearm if they tried to enter. What a piece of work.
