la di die
Nessa Barrett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Okay

Does it rain in California?
Only dream I've ever known
Will they love you when you're famous?
Swear you'll never be alone
Hope someday I'll find nirvana
I'll be looking down below
I'll be dead at twenty-seven
Only nine more years to go

I got a bully in my head
Fake love, fake friends
I was broken when you left
Now you hear me everywhere you go

La da di, oh la di da
Gonna be a superstar
Be the girl you used to know
Playing on the radio
La da di, oh la di die
Loving me is suicide
I'm a dreamer, I'm on fire
La da di, run for your life

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, ah-ah-ah-ah
Yeah-yeah, I'm jxdn, I'm jxdn

Said I'm gonna be a rockstar, yeah yeah yeah
Told her I don't want a war, yeah yeah yeah
I don't see me going far, yeah yeah yeah
That's what happens when I fall apart
All of me wants all of you
But I'm far away and I can't choose
Got a lotta lessons that I need to learn
Got a lotta lessons
My depression and misconceptions
And all the mistakes that lead to lessons
My depression, it makes me question
My depression, it makes me question

La da di, oh la di da
Gonna be a superstar
Be the girl you used to know
Playing on the radio
La da di, oh la di die
Loving me is suicide
I'm a dreamer, I'm on fire
La da di, run for your life

Does it rain in California
Where the angels cry for me?
Want the drugs that taste like candy
And blood diamonds in my teeth
Ah

La da di, oh la di da
Gonna be a superstar
Be the girl you used to know
Playing on the radio
La da di, oh la di die
Loving me is suicide
I'm a dreamer, I'm on fire
La da di, run for your life





Yeah, I'm gonna be a superstar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nessa Barrett’s song la di die talks about the struggle to attain fame and its consequences. The first stanza starts with a question, “Does it rain in California?” which is rather interesting as California is renowned for its warm climate throughout the year. The question creates a metaphorical implication that fame does not come easy, especially when one is climbing the ladder of stardom. The line echoes the singer’s yearning for a better life and creates anticipation for a brighter future, where there is hope for more.


The following line “Will they love you when you're famous? / Swear you'll never be alone” creates a sense of loneliness that comes with fame. The singer seems to be asking if those who didn’t care about her when she was starting will love her when she becomes famous. The line “Hope someday I'll find nirvana / I'll be looking down below” suggests that the singer has given up on finding inner peace, and the only hope she has is for a better life when she dies.


In the verse sung by jxdn, he talks of his own struggles and the fact that he doesn't see himself going far. The chorus repeats twice, emphasizing that although being a superstar can be glamorous, it also has its downsides. The line “Loving me is suicide” reflects the idea that fame isn't always rosy; in fact, it can cause severe mental health issues.


Overall, Nessa Barrett's song la di die carries a deep message about struggles with mental health that arise from the consequences of trying to achieve fame. The words tell a story of struggle, hopelessness, and longing for something more, but at the same time the price of fame, which can lead to mental and emotional brokenness.
