Next Time
Le Boom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It suddenly ended this morning
For the last time maybe
I walked home
The noise of the street hummed off-key
It was as the shower water splashed me softly
I realised that I didn't want the smell of you off me

It was like the drifting smoke just hung in the air that night
The way the cold clung to our clothes
Like a desperate lover might
I wasn't even listening to be honest
But I tried
I'm beginning to think you are the one making the moon shine this bright

But fuck it man anyway
Just pass us that plate again
Sure we all said we wouldn't get into this state again
You'll be dead long enough
And there'll be time for the hate again
I look around at these gorgeous faces
The absolute state of them

And even when it was serious it was still fucking craic
We spoke about our love for each other
And those not coming back
We made plans and said stupid shit that we couldn't take back
And we'll do it all again the next time

Don't look at your phones lads
They'll just fill you with sorrow
I don't know if the sleep in my eyes is from today or tomorrow
And yis don't have to go home
I still have some happiness you can borrow
I just know there's a beauty in this room that will outlast the morning

Somewhere in the orange glow
They played a song we hadn't heard yet
I looked around and wondered how on earth I deserved this
We pointed our cans up to the sky and laughed until it hurt us
If loving you is a lesson
Then I still haven't learnt it

And even when it was serious it was still fucking craic
We screamed into each others ears
With the moon on our backs
We put our arms around each other
And agreed on a pact





That we'll do it all again the next time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Le Boom's song "Next Time" depict a bittersweet and reflective moment after a night of partying and intense emotions. The singer reflects on a relationship or a connection that has suddenly ended, perhaps for the last time. As they walk home, the noises of the street seem out of tune, reflecting the dissonance they feel inside. In a vulnerable moment in the shower, they realize they don't want to wash away the memories or the scent of the person they were with.


The second verse delves into the atmosphere of a particular night, where the smoke hangs in the air and the cold clings to their clothes. The singer admits they weren't truly present, but still wonders if the other person is responsible for their joy and the brightness in their life. The chorus suggests a mix of resignation, camaraderie, and self-destructive behavior. They acknowledge the negative consequences but still indulge in the momentary escape that comes with letting go.


Despite the seriousness of the relationship or the situation, there is still a sense of fun and camaraderie among friends. They acknowledge their love for one another, embrace moments of vulnerability, and make grand plans that may seem foolish in hindsight. The final lines emphasize the recurring nature of these experiences, suggesting that they will continue to repeat this cycle, hoping for a better outcome each time.


Overall, "Next Time" explores the complexities of relationships, the fleeting nature of euphoria, and the allure of temporary escape from reality.
