Singles ‘Hurt Me’ and ‘Falling Short’ confirmed her as one of the most exciting new songwriting talents, whilst DJ Koze’s disco edit of ‘Operator’ produced an instant dancefloor classic.
Second album Through Water marked a shift from adolescence into womanhood and from introverted bedroom producer to a more confident, conscious artist – lead single ‘Womxn’ proudly asserted her queer identity and a more assured, upbeat direction.
Holly has since asserted herself as a successful writer and top liner within the music industry, having recently signed publishing with Young and Sony, and returning with her own original music with ‘‘32 Floors’. A bold reintroduction to Låpsley as an artist, ‘‘32 Floors’ is a song about falling in love - but also, into obsession - ahead of much more music to follow soon.
Station
Låpsley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two for the taking
You can have it all at once if you make it sane
Its gonna drive you
Back down the roads and the streets and pavements
Stamping your ground and the rules that shaped us
Well I will ring you up
Say I want you back
Chat back stab say I never wanted that
It's just inevitable distance
Twisted bitterness
Give her two months she'll be (Over that)
Two for the taking
You can have it all at once if you make it sane
Its gonna drive you
Back down the roads and the streets and pavements
Stamping your ground and the rules that shaped us
(That shaped us)
'Cause I could walk you back to the station
Talk about our own frustrations
'Cause I could walk you back to the station
The lyrics of Låpsley's song "Station" begins with a proposition to the listener. The singer proposes the possibility of a transaction, where the person could have it all at once, as long as they make it sane. However, the transaction will drive them through the memory lane, back to the roads, streets, and pavements that shaped their rules. The lyrics suggest that stamping your ground and the rules that shaped us could cause twisted bitterness and inevitable distance.
The chorus of the song is repeated twice, at the beginning and the end, and is the central message of the song. The singer offers to walk the person back to the station, where they first begun, to talk about their frustrations. The station here refers to a metaphorical place where one can change their life, similar to a train station where a person can take a different train to go to a different destination. The lyrics suggest that it is possible to get lost in life, but it is necessary to remember where one first started and the frustration they felt, to regain their way.
Line by Line Meaning
Two for the taking
There are two options available
You can have it all at once if you make it sane
You can take everything if you approach it sensibly
Its gonna drive you
It will be challenging
Back down the roads and the streets and pavements
You'll return to familiar places and paths
Stamping your ground and the rules that shaped us
Imposing your own beliefs and values that were instilled in us
(That shaped us)
Those beliefs and values have influenced who we are
Well I will ring you up
I will call you
Say I want you back
Expressing a desire for reconciliation
Chat back stab say I never wanted that
Speaking ill of you behind your back and lying about not wanting a reunion
It's just inevitable distance
The physical and emotional separation was unavoidable
Twisted bitterness
A hurtful and resentful attitude
Give her two months she'll be (Over that)
The bitterness will fade in time
'Cause I could walk you back to the station
I could accompany you to the train station
Talk about our own frustrations
Discuss our own issues and struggles
'Cause I could walk you back to the station
I am willing to provide support during your departure

Two for the taking
You can have it all at once if you make it sane
Its gonna drive you
Back down the roads and the streets and pavements

Well I will ring you up
Say I want you back
Chat back stab say I never wanted that
It's just inevitable distance
Twisted bitterness
Give her two months she’ll be (over that)
Well I will ring you up
Say I want you back
Chat back stab say I never wanted that
It's just inevitable distance
Twisted bitterness
Give her two months she’ll be
Two for the taking
You can have it all at once if you make it sane

Back down the roads and the streets and pavements
Stamping your ground and the rules that shaped us

Cause I could walk you back to the station
Talk about our own frustrations
