La La La
Jasmine Thompson (Cover) 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
I don't mean to judge
But when you read your speech, it's tiring
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go la la la
I'm turning off the volume when you speak
Cause if my heart can't stop it, I found a way to block it, I go
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
I found a way to block it, I go
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 those 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 off the volume when you speak
Cause if my heart can't stop it, I found 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
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go la la la
I'm turning off the volume when you speak
Cause if my heart can't stop it, I found 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 off the volume when you speak
Cause if my heart can't stop it, I found 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
I found 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
I found a way to block it, I go
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
I found a way to block it, I go
The lyrics of "La La La" by Jasmine Thompson (Cover) portray a person tired of listening to someone who always spews negativity and hate speech. The singer asserts that she doesn't want to hear the venomous and hateful words anymore and prefers to block them out, going "la la la" to drown out the noise. She refuses to engage in arguments and rather chooses to be a coward, drowning out the other person's words before losing her mind. The singer emphasizes on the point that she has had enough of listening to the same old theories that catch fire, and it's time to move on from it.
