New Orleans
Kelly De Martino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are fabricated
We were dedicated
Now we're separated
What's it like in New Orleans
I haven't been out of these blue jeans
What's it like in New Orleans
I am devastated
You are liberated
We were dedicated
Now we're separated
What's it like in New Orleans
I haven't been out of these blue jeans
What's it like in New Orleans
I haven't been out of these blue jeans
The lyrics to Kelly De Martino's song "New Orleans" reflect the emotions of two people who were once in a committed relationship but have since separated. The first verse sets the tone for the song as the singer admits to being medicated while the other person is fabricated. This contrast suggests that one person is struggling while the other is thriving, and this divide has resulted in their separation. The chorus features the repeated line "What's it like in New Orleans," a nod to the city's reputation for being a place of escape and liberation. The singer admits that they haven't left their blue jeans, which could represent their current state of stagnation and inability to move on from the past. The second verse follows a similar pattern, with the singer being devastated and the other person being liberated. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that New Orleans represents a fresh start and a chance to leave their troubles behind.
