LALALA
Rochelle Diamante Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up every morning
Feeling like there was an emptiness inside
Yeah inside
I tried to find the pieces
But you took them and you hid them
Out of sight
Out of sight
Oh boy you felt so proud
You had the biggest smile on your face
When I was down
I bet you loved to see me squirm
Oh I was freakin our
And everyday I′d hear you say
Don't you even try
Nobody cares anyway

You took my voice
Put it up on the shelf
You made me think
I was somebody else
I built you up
Just to tear down myself
I′m done with being underneath your thumb

LaLaLa not Listening
You thought you had a hold on me

You loved it when I felt so weak
But LaLaLa not Listening
Watch me
Do my
Own thing
Check me out

I got you feelin dizzy
Cause you never thought I'd stand
My ground
Stand my ground yeah
Your last attempts at making me
Feel lost have only make me found
Made me found oh oh

So get on our of town
Not gonna lie I hope that door hits you
On the way out
The only person that I listen to is
Me now
I hate to break it to you baby
But don't you even cry
Nobody cares anyway

You took my voice
Put it up on the shelf
You made me think
I was somebody else
I built you up
Just to tear down myself
I′m done with being
Underneath your thumb

LaLaLa not Listening
You thought you had a hold on me
You loved it when I felt so weak
But LaLaLa not Listening
Watch me
Do my
Own thing
Check me out

I′ve been trying to dig myself out this hole
I battle voices that tell me to let go
But go ahead and scream with all of your might
I'll still fight
All these scars you′ve given me are just
My warrior cry
I'll keep marching even though you′re
Begging me not to try
Every step I take
I'm closer to that finish line
I′m gonna survive

LaLaLa not listening
You thought you had a hold on me
You loved it when I felt so weak
But LaLaLaLa
I'm not listening
I'm not listening

LaLaLa not Listening
You thought you had a hold on me
You loved it when I felt so weak
But LaLaLa not Listening
Watch me
Do my
Own thing
Check me out

LaLaLaLaLaLaLa
I′m not listening, no
LaLaLaLaLaLaLa




Hush your mouth
Hush your mouth

Overall Meaning

In Rochelle Diamante's song LaLaLa, the lyrics describe the journey of an individual who is trying to find their voice and identity after being put down and invalidated by someone. The song talks about the emptiness the person feels and how they are trying to find the pieces of themselves that were lost. Despite their efforts, the person is not able to find their voice and they feel like somebody else. The person's abuser felt proud when the individual was down and they loved to see them struggle. The individual felt freaked out every day because they were constantly hearing that nobody cares and they shouldn't even try.


The song then shifts into the chorus where the person says LaLaLa not listening. This line means that the individual is refusing to listen to their abuser's negativity and put-downs. The person's abuser took their voice and made them believe that they were somebody else. The individual built up their abuser, only to tear down themselves. However, they are done being underneath their abuser's control and are instead doing their own thing. The chorus is the person's way of saying that they are taking back their power and not letting their abuser control them anymore.


The song continues with the individual trying to dig themselves out of a hole and battling the voices in their head that tell them to give up. The individual is fighting back against their abuser's control and every step they take, they are closer to the finish line. The song ends with the person saying LaLaLa, which means that they are not listening to their abuser's negativity, and that they are taking control of their life and their own voice.
