Fragments
Michael St Laurent ft. Zara Kershaw 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 song Fragments by Michael St Laurent ft. Zara Kershaw explores the theme of two individuals who have found each other and are running together through life, with their journey represented as a train ride. The song starts with the line 'Looks up, my fire, look right at me, we're running,' which gives the impression that the two are in a hurry to leave something behind and are determined to move on. The lines 'Bursting through, last train home, I'm left with you, with our compass just passing through' add to this narrative and suggest that the two may be unsure of their destination but are together nonetheless, following a shared path.


The chorus of the song delves into the feelings between the two; the colors inspire and sapphire dances in them. The long road beckons and one is willing to follow the other, even if it is unknown where the journey will lead. The lyrics 'Home brings, a tangled mess, behind the lens, night ends' can be interpreted as the introspective moments of doubt that arise when traversing a long journey. However, the coming line "catch me, in a light glow, completely, I give up oh so willingly" hints at the deep trust they have for each other.


Further into the song, the lyrics 'Fragments, taken, looking glass, see right through me, sleepless, walls down, I'm found' create a sense of vulnerability between the individuals. They acknowledge that they can see through each other, they might have been hurt before, but now, without any walls, they have found each other.

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.
