Without You
Lapalux feat. Kerry Leatham Lyrics

The lyrics of Lapalux's "Without You" are emotional and poignant, as they speak of the pain that comes with losing someone we love. The opening lines, "Haunted by those that suck you in/That pull you under," set the tone for the rest of the song. It is clear that the singer is struggling to move on, haunted by memories and feelings that they cannot shake off. The second line, "Mm tied," adds to this sense of being constrained or trapped, unable to move forward or find peace.

The next lines are perhaps some of the most impactful in the song: "And your words are engraved in me/So long as guilt resides here/Carved into the walls in writing/With our broken hearts imprinted beside it." The idea of someone's words being engraved on our hearts is a powerful one. It suggests that even when we try to forget or move on, the things that people say to us can linger and shape us in profound ways. In this case, it seems that the singer has been burdened by guilt, perhaps related to the end of the relationship. The imagery of the words being "carved into the walls" alongside "broken hearts" only reinforces the sense of devastation and pain.

The chorus, "I didn't want you to leave me/I didn't want to leave you," is a simple but effective reflection of the complexity of love and loss. It acknowledges the fact that even if things were difficult or challenging, they were still worth holding onto. The repetition of the lines, first in full and then with just the final word "you," adds to the sense of yearning and longing that permeates the song. The final lines, "No one, what you do to me, no one," are a powerful statement about the unique impact that one person can have on our lives.
