Little Daylight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She locks you in with her eyes
And in a room with ten men
They all think she's looking at them
You played a record that night
Yeah she got you feeling so high
And then you waited for days
Just to feel it slipping away.
Baby, I know you're into it
Chasing a love you'll never get
She's playing your heart just a little bit
Your Mona Lisa, your Mona Lisa!
She got no heart,
It's gonna rip you all apart
Like the hourglass sands
I watched you fall into her hands!
You gotta tell her tonight
Yeah, just get her out of your life
She plays an intricate game,
Don't let her take you away!!
Baby, I know you're into it
Chasing a love you'll never get
She's playing your heart just a little bit
Your Mona Lisa, your Mona Lisa!
Well, she's got games you'll never win,
The key to your heart she holds within
She's leaving you outside looking in,
Your Mona Lisa, your Mona Lisa!
Well, I hear your call like an S.O.S.
I'm feeling for your heart, I'm feeling for your heart!
I hear your voice calling S.O.S.
And I'm feeling for your heart, I'm feeling for you!
Well, I hear your call like an S.O.S.
I'm feeling for your heart, I'm feeling for your heart
I hear your voice calling S.O.S.
I'm feeling for your heart, I'm feeling for your heart!
Baby, I know you're into it
Chasing a love you'll never get
She's playing your heart just a little bit
Your Mona Lisa, your Mona Lisa!
Well, she's got games you'll never win,
The key to your heart she holds within
She's leaving you outside looking in,
Your Mona Lisa, your Mona Lisa!
Baby, I know you're into it
Chasing a love you'll never get
She's playing your heart just a little bit
Your Mona Lisa, your Mona Lisa!
The song "Mona Lisa" by Little Daylight is about a woman who is captivating, but ultimately toxic. The singer describes the woman's smile as the key to her ability to lure men in and make them feel like they are the only ones she is interested in. However, in reality, she is manipulating all of them for her own gain. The singer warns the listener that this woman has no heart and will ultimately destroy them if they continue to pursue her.
Throughout the song, the singer urges the listener to let go of their infatuation with this woman for their own well-being. They acknowledge that it's difficult to break away from the allure of someone who seems so perfect, but that ultimately, she is playing a game that can only end in heartbreak. The repeated refrain of "Your Mona Lisa, your Mona Lisa" emphasizes the idea that the woman is like a work of art, beautiful and captivating, but ultimately unattainable.
