Walk Through Walls
Kyla La Grange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you read my eyes, and my aching thoughts?
Did you walk through walls, ‘til you had to crawl?
Oh my god your smile and my soundless calls
Get up, get up, get up, my heart is heavy
Sit up, sit up, sit up, enough already
Take this, don't look without seeing me
Did the light leave holes, where the ceiling rolled
Did you lay your head, as it all took hold
Did you spin so slow, I didn't see you go
Oh I wish I had, I wish I had known
Get up, get up, get up, my heart is heavy
Sit up, sit up, sit up, enough already
Take this, don't look without seeing me
Stay here, don't touch without feeling me
And you're two feet away from my arms
But my head is weighed down by the spark
And it’s too much to take when you turn
When I still haven't seen what i've learned
Get up, get up, get up, my heart is heavy
Sit up, sit up, sit up, enough already
Take this, don't look without seeing me
Stay here, don't touch without feeling me
Get up, get up, get up, my heart is heavy
Sit up, sit up, sit up, enough already
Take this, don't look without seeing me
Stay here, don't touch without feeling me
In Kyla La Grange’s song “Walk Through Walls,” the lyrics suggest a yearning for a deeper connection with someone who is physically present but emotionally distant. The first verse speaks of someone who has retreated from the relationship, building walls around themselves and shutting out the other person, which causes the singer’s heart to feel heavy. The second verse speaks of missed opportunities to connect with this person, as they seem to slip away unnoticed like a ceiling that rolls to reveal holes of light. The chorus repeatedly urges the other person to “get up” and “sit up,” to take notice and feel the connection that the singer seeks. The lines “Take this, don’t look without seeing me; Stay here, don’t touch without feeling me” add a layer of depth to the lyrics, indicating that the singer is willing to open herself up and be vulnerable, but only if the other person is willing to reciprocate.

Kyla does Electronica - she slays
She does Folk - she slays
She does Rock - she slays
She is far too underrated :(
I remember hearing this the day it came out when I was in college, I started singing in the library 0_0

That intro 0:10 - 0:46....amazing raw guitar, her voice filled with rage and disappointment, and than the drums hits it perfect.... God, what a song and what a talent. I miss her.
