Fragments
Michael St Laurent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looks up, my fire
Look right at me, we're running
Bursting through, last train home
I'm left with you, with our compass just passing through

Colours, inspire
Sapphire, dances in me
Long road,
Your beckoning, I'm following

Home brings, a tangled mess
Behind the lens, night ends
Catch me, in a light glow
Completely, I give up oh so willingly

Fragments, taken
Looking glass, see right through me




Sleepless, walls down
I'm found

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song 'Fragments' by Michael St Laurent are evocative of a journey that the singer is taking with his partner. The singer says "Looks up, my fire, Look right at me, we're running, Bursting through, last train home, I'm left with you, with our compass just passing through". The use of the word 'fire' suggests that the singer is referring to someone who is burning with passion and energy. The line "last train home" conjures up an image of two lovers hurrying to catch their mode of transportation before it departs. The mention of a "compass" indicates that the journey is not just physical, but also emotional and spiritual.


In the second verse, the singer's partner inspires him to see the world in a new way. The phrase "Colours, inspire, Sapphire, dances in me" is a reference to the sapphire blue color which is associated with beauty and inspiration. The singer then describes a "long road" that is calling him and acknowledges that he is following his partner, whom he refers to as his "beckoning". The third verse is a reflection on the end of the journey, with the singer describing coming home to a "tangled mess" behind the lens. The line "Catch me, in a light glow, Completely, I give up oh so willingly" suggests that the singer's partner has a transformative effect on him, and that he is willing to surrender himself to her completely.

I discovered this amazing song like 8 or 9 years ago. I was at a low point in my life and had this song on repeat for weeks on end. Then I met the love of my life. I spent the best 7 years of my life with her. She left me a couple weeks ago and I have this song on repeat again...

Rarely do I like a song on the first play through. I fell in love with this song half way through. Very well executed piece.
