Lucian
LA SCALTRA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shining there, so far
Dreaming now and then
Seeing you again
Can I find you? Can I love you?
Can I find you? Can I love you?
And I love you, and I love you, and I love
Will we meet again tonight
In a stranger kind of light?
Lucian
Whispers in my mind, words are hard to find
Angel from below, pure as coldest snow
Can I find you? Can I love you?
Can I find you? Can I love you?
And I love you, and I love you, and I love
Lucian, Lucian
Will we meet again tonight
In a stranger kind of light?
Lucian
Lucian, I'm begging you, Lucian
Lucian
No morning will come, Lucian
No dawning will rise, Lucian
No morning will come, Lucian
No dawning will rise, Lucian
The lyrics to La Scaltra's song Lucian seem to be about a person who is dreaming about someone they once loved and lost. The first stanza talks about a "darkened rising star" that is "shining there, so far". This imagery seems to describe someone who was once a light or a star in the singer's life, but has now become distant and almost unattainable. The singer is dreaming of seeing this person again, but it's unclear whether they will be able to find or love them again.
The chorus repeats the lines "Can I find you? Can I love you? And I love you, and I love you, and I love Lucian, Lucian" several times, which reinforces the idea that the singer is unsure if they will ever be able to reconnect with this person they once loved. The second stanza introduces a feeling of anxiety or uncertainty, with the lyrics "whispers in my mind, words are hard to find". The person they are dreaming about is described as an "angel from below, pure as coldest snow", which is a striking and somewhat contradictory image that possibly represents the singer's conflicted feelings about the person.
The final stanza is the most intense, with the singer begging Lucian not to let the morning come or the dawn rise. This could be interpreted in a few different ways - perhaps the singer is worried that the arrival of a new day will mean that their chance to reconnect with Lucian is lost, or maybe Lucian is associated with darkness and the singer fears what the light of day will reveal. Regardless of the exact interpretation, it's clear that the singer is deeply attached to and affected by this person they are dreaming of.
