Laser Gun
M83 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Small town, too hot
I'm going for a trip
A place where dreams are made like comic strips
I see colours and planes, laser guns and champagne
I feel strong and smart, ready for a new start
It got me too

And I know it's surprising
What brain can do
I can hardly believe it
What it makes me do

And I know it's surprising
What brain can do
I can hardly believe it
So let's go and get it

Everything we've been dreaming
So let's go and get it
All the things we've been missing

Now my blood is gone
And my face is drawn
Seven legs on top
And my heart just popped

People love me though
I'm their new Rambo
This is my kingdom
A different kind of home
You got me too

And I know it's surprising
What brain can do
I can hardly believe it
What it makes me do

And I know it's surprising
What brain can do
I can hardly believe it
So let's go and get it

Everything we've been dreaming
So let's go and get it
All the things we've been missing

Got it all PAM!
Got everything
Got everything
Got everything

Got it all PAM!
Got all I need
Got all I need
Got all I need

Got it all PAM!
Got everything
Got everything
Got everything

Got it all PAM!
Got all I need
Got all I need
Got all I need

All you can do is keep dreaming, dreaming
It's up to you, the meaning, the meaning
All you can do is keep dreaming, dreaming
It's up to you, the meaning, the meaning

Got it all PAM!
Got everything
Got everything
Got everything

Got it all PAM!
Got all I need
Got all I need
Got all I need

Got it all PAM!
Got everything
Got everything
Got everything

Got it all PAM!
Got all I need
Got all I need
Got all I need

Got it all PAM!
Got everything
Got everything
Got everything

Got it all PAM!
Got all I need
Got all I need
Got all I need

Take me on a roller coaster
Up and down and up and down
Ride, ride on a roller coaster
I'm going up, I'm going down

Got it all PAM!
Got everything
Got everything
Got everything

Got it all PAM!
Got all I need
Got all I need
Got all I need

Take me on a roller coaster
Up and down and up and down
Ride, ride on a roller coaster
I'm going up, I'm going down

Got it all PAM!
Got everything
Got everything
Got everything

Got it all PAM!
Got all I need
Got all I need
Got all I need





Got it all PAM!

Overall Meaning

In the song “Laser Gun” by M83 Mai Lan, the lyrics speak of a small town that is too hot, and the desire to go on a trip to a place where dreams are made. The place that is envisioned is like a comic strip where colors, planes, laser guns, and champagne are all present, and the confidence to embark on a new journey is felt. The surprising power of the brain is acknowledged, and the desire to obtain everything that has been dreamed of and missed, is strong.


The lyrics describe a transformational experience, where the persona is changed into a new version of themselves with seven legs and a heart that has just popped. The people around the persona begin to love them, and a new kingdom is formed, where the persona is the new Rambo. The lyrics describe the feeling of having everything one needs and desires, and the possibility of going on a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. The song ends with the repetition of the phrase “Got it all PAM!” which can be interpreted to mean that the persona has all that they could ever want or need.

M83 songs aren't just songs - they are feelings.

@StefanZgardan

dude that is so right

@i.f.5566

Jon Stewart That's what art is and supposed to be in the first place man

@samuelfeliperojascastro147

I confirm

@20vtechnik

Yep.
That's the difference between decent music and good or great music.

@MrStarwarsuniverse

Not gonna lie, probably an unpopular opinion, but this is the best song in the album. The way it maintains an accessible pop feel while simultaneously having a complexity of musical layers based on instrumentation and vocals is absolutely stellar!

@dilloppy333

+MrStarwarsuniverse Yeah this is my favorite song too homie.

@adambadidonoval5766

+MrStarwarsuniverse my fave as well. 100%

@Burntoastman31

+MrStarwarsuniverse You know it. This song is great

@Sean-hy8kg
