Fragments Feat. Zara Kershaw
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,
I'm following
I'm following, I'm following
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
I'm following, I'm following
I'm following, we're running
I give up oh so willingly
I'm following, we're running
I'm following, I'm following
I'm following, I'm following
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

In Michael St Laurent's song "Fragments", featuring Zara Kershaw, the singer seems to be in the midst of an adventure with someone they care about deeply. The opening lines "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" suggest that the singer and their companion are on the move, perhaps chasing some unknown destination. The reference to a "compass" implies that they are guided by some sort of inner compass or sense of direction, rather than following a specific map or route.


As the song progresses, we get glimpses of the singer's inner emotional state. The lines "Sapphire, dances in me/Long road, your beckoning, I'm following" suggest a sense of exhilaration or excitement, while the lines "Home brings, a tangled mess/Behind the lens, night ends" hint at some underlying anxiety or uncertainty. The repeated refrain of "I'm following, we're running" emphasizes the sense of motion and forward momentum, though it's unclear whether the singer is following someone else or simply following their own inner compass.


The lines "Fragments, taken/Looking glass, see right through me/Sleepless, walls down/I'm found" suggest a sense of vulnerability or exposure. Perhaps the singer has been broken down or fragmented by their experiences, but in doing so they have also been set free to truly be themselves. Overall, the lyrics of "Fragments" seem to speak to a sense of adventure, discovery, and emotional openness.

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.
