The lyrics of her tracks, mostly written in her native tongue Spanish, are accompanied by melodies composed by Don Philippe, who is about one and a half decades older than her and one of the founding members of the German band Freundeskreis.
Laura's voice and the reduced instrumental background melt love, melancholy and passion into a slow-paced acoustic dreamland.
Her debut album "Mi libro abierto" has appeared on March 3, 2006, on Max Herre's newly-founded label Nesola.
Nana
Laura Lopez Castro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two angels in love together they fall
I was wrong to help my self to your love
Its cold though hell will thaw
You left me here to stare
At pictures of a love you left in despair
And I don′t want to pray for the love
I think about you everyday now
I wonder where you are
And how you inspire
But it's impossible to see through the smile
That left me here to die
You left me here to stare
At pictures of a love you left in despair
And I don′t want to pray for the love
That let the angel fall
You left me here to stare
At pictures of a love you left in despair
And I don't want to pray for the love
That let the angel fall
The lyrics of Laura Lopez Castro's song Nana portray the heartache of a person left behind by a lover, who seems to be going through some inner turmoil. The singer's voice sounds lamentful as she describes how two angels in love fell in love, but it was wrong for her to covet that love. There is a sense of hopelessness as she states that, despite love being as cold as frozen hell, she still finds herself pining for her lost love.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase, "You left me here to stare at pictures of a love you left in despair," emphasizing the loneliness and grief the singer feels. She does not wish to pray for the love that let the angel fall, which could be interpreted as a frustration with the situation or a refusal to cling onto something that has caused so much pain. The last verse reflects on the difficulty of moving on, with the singer still thinking about their lost love every day but acknowledging that it is impossible to see through the fake smile that covers their true emotions.
