Look Luck
Noe Venable Trio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am out of change
Terrible and strange
Under a fake blue sky

You're spinning out of sight
I been up all night
But every road leads here
Look, luck
Do not disappear
I can almost hear you trying
But luck
Do not disappear
You're the only one that's left to love

So much love
You can't pay in love
Talk to the big machine
Please
I pawned my ring
I'll do anything
In hope of a little

Luck
Do not disappear
I can almost hear you trying
But luck




Do not disappear
You're the only one that's left to love

Overall Meaning

The song Look Luck by Noe Venable Trio is a haunting and melancholic piece that touches on themes of desperation, hopelessness, and the solitary human search for luck and love. The opening lines of “I am out of change, terrible and strange, under a fake blue sky” create a vivid image of the singer's crushing predicament. She is broke, downtrodden, and surrounded by a false sense of security. The contrast between the blue sky and the singer's misery further emphasizes the starkness of her misfortune.


The second verse is similarly filled with despair; “You're spinning out of sight, I been up all night, but every road leads here” is a poignant expression of the singer's loneliness, despite the efforts she's made to break out of her situation. She is powerless to change her course, and her only solace is a plea to luck; “Do not disappear, you're the only one that's left to love”. The repetition of this line as a refrain throughout the song captures the central emotional crux of the piece; the singer is searching for something intangible to hold onto – a belief in chance, perhaps, or the hope that luck can turn the tide in her favor.


Finally, the third verse sees the singer attempting to take matters into her own hands, despite the odds stacked against her. “So much love, you can't pay in love, talk to the big machine” creates a sense of futility and desperation – the singer knows that she is powerless to change her circumstances, but she's willing to do anything to get even a little bit of hope: “I pawned my ring, I'll do anything in hope of a little”. Despite her best efforts, however, her situation remains dire, and she falls back on her refrain: Look Luck, do not disappear, you're the only one that's left to love.


Overall, Look Luck is a powerful and evocative example of a song that uses simple lyrics and haunting melody to convey complex and difficult emotions. The theme of human longing for the idea of luck and love, even in the most extreme and dire of situations, is a universally relatable human experience that's beautifully encapsulated in this song.
