Maty Noyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not scared
Cause I don't need you, need you, need you, need you there
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
When I told you I wasn't coming home
You thought I should let you know like an adult
And the airplanes said they wanna get high
And they wave me up in the sky
And woah please tell me who am I to deny them
Explosions and there is no controlling the emotions, woah
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
I've got a brand new style
This world hasn't seen in a while
Yeah we all have our time, now it's mine
Go round this world like plane
Til they knows me by my first name
I've got my own life and maybe it's calling
Explosions, know you're gonna feel it in my motions
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
And when you start to miss my voice turn on the radio
And all you'll hear is noise, we are gonna change
The world, I got no choice and baby I'm trying
And I will wait another day just to hear you have
To say I'm not going, finally living like I should
It feels so good to be the queen of diamonds
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
In the song "London" by Maty Noyes, the lyrics describe the singer's desire to break free from a toxic situation or relationship that she had been in for too long. The repeated line "Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London," conveys her determination to leave and start a new life. The fear that once held her back has left her bones as she declares, "Now you know I'm not scared cause I don't need you there."
The chorus continues to repeat the same line, emphasizing her strong will to live her life on her own terms. She's got a brand new style that the world hasn't seen in a while, and it's her time to shine. She's going to travel the world and make a name for herself so that everyone will know her by her first name.
The bridge of the song speaks to the explosive emotions that drove her to leave, acknowledging that there is no controlling them. As she moves forward, she encourages those left behind to listen to the radio and hear the noise that they'll make as they change the world. Despite waiting to hear if they'll change their minds, she's finally living like she should, feeling like a queen of diamonds.
Overall, "London" is a song about breaking free and taking control of your own destiny, even if it means leaving people and situations behind.

Now you know
I want you to understand my decision
I'm not scared
I am confident in myself and my choices

Monday to Monday, straight through to Sunday, I'm gonna go to London
I am going to London for a straight week, without any interruption
The fear escaped my bones
I have overcome my fear and doubt
When I told you I wasn't coming home
When I told you I was not returning
You thought I should let you know like an adult
You thought it was necessary for me to tell you like an adult
And the airplanes said they wanna get high
The airplanes are waiting to take off high in the sky
And they wave me up in the sky
They signal me to come and join them, up high in the sky
And woah please tell me who am I to deny them
And please tell me, who am I to refuse such an opportunity?
Explosions and there is no controlling the emotions, woah
I am experiencing intense emotions at this moment, which cannot be controlled
I've got a brand new style

This type of character and style has not been seen in a while

Travel around the world like an airplane
Til they knows me by my first name
Travel around so much that people recognize me by my first name

Explosions, know you're gonna feel it in my motions

I have no choice but to try to make a change in the world
And I will wait another day just to hear you have
I will wait another day just to hear your response
To say I'm not going, finally living like I should
To say that I am not going and living my life the way I should be
It feels so good to be the queen of diamonds
It feels great to be in control of my own life and happiness
