La La La
Matt and the Monkey Lyrics

The lyrics of "La La La" by Matt and the Monkey's is a ballad about a person who was deeply in love with someone who did not reciprocate the same feelings. The singer expresses their love towards the other person but it seems like they were never taken seriously. The person they love instead had an attitude that could be described as destructive and ultimately, this broke the singer's heart. The song maintains an optimistic tone throughout, as the singer chooses to move on with their life from the heartbreak caused by the previous lover, even with the damage they have caused.

The song begins by asserting the depth of the singer's love, and yet they are left feeling unimportant to the one they care for. The attitude of the person they love is called out as destructive, causing the singer's heart to shatter into pieces. They state that they are now moving on past the hurt even though their heart remains broken, laying bare the emotional and physical pain the singer has experienced. The third stanza relates the willingness of the singer to leave everything behind, including their love interest, who will never find them again. They show their strength and refuse to stay around someone who does not value them.
