Naughty Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
La la, la la la la la na na na na na,
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
Hush, don't speak
When you spit your venom, keep it shut I hate it
When you hiss and preach
I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you read your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it, I go
La la, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
I find a way to block it, I go
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
If our love is running out of time
I won't count the hours, rather be a coward
When our worlds collide
I'm gonna drown you out before I lose my mind
I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you read your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it, I go
La la, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
I find a way to block it, I go
La la, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
I find a way to block it, oh
La la, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
I find a way to block it, I go
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it, I go
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it, I go
La la, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na
Naughty Boy's song La La La is a song that embodies the message of drowning out the negativity and hate of the world through the simple act of humming. The song's lyrics are powerful and catchy, making it a popular track for many to listen to. The repeated line of "la la la" is representative of the suppression of the negativity of the world. This is expressed in lines like "When your words mean nothing, I go la la la," and "I find a way to block it, I go La la, la la la la la na na na na na." The artist encourages listeners to not listen to the negativity, but instead to just hum away as a means of escaping.
The song's chorus refers to the metaphor of covering one's ears to avoid negativity. This act is often done by children who are afraid of what they are hearing, and in the song, it is an embodiment of the childlike innocence that comes with the hum of the "la la la." The act of turning up the volume when others speak is also an embodiment of the desire to drown out the negativity that is so often shared in the world.
