Le Saint’s music serves as a portrayal of his experimental ethos and driven personality, which has also led him to explore a number of other creative elds such as design, fashion and lm. As a founding member of music coll- ective Cloud X, Le Saint utilizes this holistic approach to artist management and branding from a collaborative DIY perspective. In an era where industry seems to be propelling us at an exponential pace, leaving little room for exploration and genuine creativity, it is heartening to see a musician such as Le Saint taking an honest approach. NR Magazine sat down with Le Saint to discuss everything from early influences, to his most recent single ‘98’ and a passion for basketball which nearly took him overseas. One thing is clear, Le Saint’s inspired curiosity free from constraints of labels and genres has served him well thus far and will continue to do so in 2018.

Santino Le Saint Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me as I am, please
I made this so easy
I come in peace, baby
I know preachin′ something real when action's half sincere
I swear that I′ve changed
It's funny when I'm blue
I get crazy with the moon rising
Pain comes out to play frightening
Drugs, sex, and hate hiding deep inside my brain
Fighting demons for my sanity
You think it′s funny that I switched up
'Cause I was screaming, "Fuck Love", but
Really that was my way of tryna take the high way, but
I don′t mind saying I was wrong
'Cause now I′m red
And honestly, I choosе you over my blue
So I popped rеd
'Cause I always knew
Knew to choose you over my blue
Don′t take me for playing cards, baby
Please, don't think I'm being smart
Twenty-one years passed, I′m a jack
Lookin′ for the queen of hearts
You are diamond in the rough, yeah
Not in the club looking for a fresh start
We were dealt bad hands last time
That's why we′re gonna work a charm
Like magic, we're tragically romantic
I can make your body flip, stretch, gymnastics, no practice
Nostalgia, ultra
The beam choon or the vaulter
I can see it now I bless it
The red pills like heaven, no
It′s funny when I'm blue
I don′t think about the rules
I get crazy with the moon rising
Pain comes out to play
Frightening drugs, sex and hate hiding deep inside my brain
Fighting demons for my sanity
You think it's funny that I switched up
'Cause I was screaming, "Fuck Love", but
Really that was my way of tryna take the high way, but
I don′t mind saying I was wrong
′Cause now I'm red
And honestly, I choose you
Over my blue
So I popped red
′Cause I always knew
Knew to choose you
Over my blue
The song "Red" by Santino Le Saint is a heartfelt confession of a person's struggle with their own demons hidden inside their mind. The lyrics begin with the plea to take the singer as they are, despite their dark thoughts and actions. The singer admits that their preaching may not be entirely sincere, as they have had trouble fighting their own demons. The singer acknowledges that their way of escaping from their problems was through drugs, sex, and hate, which they have now realized was not a healthy coping mechanism.
The singer realizes their mistake and now chooses to "pop red" instead of "blue," which implies that they now want to let go of their dark past and choose a better path. The singer accepts their wrongdoing and chooses love over hate. The lyrics further express the desire to find the right partner who will accept them for who they are and who they can be vulnerable with. The singer seeks a fresh start from their past bad experiences and knows that they have found it in their partner.
The overall message of the song is powerful and relatable, as it touches upon themes such as personal growth, self-acceptance, and mental health. The lyrics beautifully express the journey of acknowledging the difficulties and struggles within oneself and finally making the decision to move towards positivity and love.

Take me
Accept me for who I am
Take me as I am, please
I'm asking you to accept me with all my flaws
I made this so easy
I'm trying to make things easy between us
I come in peace, baby
I have no ill intentions, I just want to be at peace with you
I know preachin′ something real when action's half sincere
I know it's easy to talk about something, but what matters is actually doing it
I swear that I've changed
I promise that I'm not the same person I used to be
It's funny when I'm blue
It's strange how I act when I'm feeling sad
I don't think about the rules
I don't care about what's expected of me
I get crazy with the moon rising
I tend to act impulsively when the moon is out
Pain comes out to play frightening
My pain manifests itself in scary ways
Drugs, sex, and hate hiding deep inside my brain
I have dark thoughts and impulses that I try to hide
Fighting demons for my sanity
I'm constantly fighting my inner demons to maintain my mental health
You think it's funny that I switched up
You find it amusing that I've changed my ways
'Cause I was screaming, "Fuck Love", but
I was refusing to love anyone or anything
Really that was my way of tryna take the high way, but
I was trying to avoid getting hurt by avoiding love
I don't mind saying I was wrong
I'm willing to admit that I made a mistake
'Cause now I'm red
Now I feel intense emotions, especially love
And honestly, I choose you
I want to be with you more than anyone else
Over my blue
Over my feelings of sadness and emptiness
So I popped red
I embraced my intense emotions and feelings for you
'Cause I always knew
I always knew deep down that I wanted to be with you
Knew to choose you
I made the choice to be with you
Don't take me for playing cards, baby
Don't assume that I'm playing games
Please, don't think I'm being smart
Please don't think I'm trying to be clever or manipulative
Twenty-one years passed, I'm a jack
I've lived for 21 years, and I'm still figuring things out
Lookin' for the queen of hearts
I'm looking for someone to love deeply and passionately
You are diamond in the rough, yeah
You're a special person who may not be polished, but has a lot of potential
Not in the club looking for a fresh start
You're not someone who's constantly looking for a new beginning
We were dealt bad hands last time
We've had bad experiences in the past
That's why we're gonna work a charm
That's why we're going to make things work
Like magic, we're tragically romantic
Our love is intense and emotional
I can make your body flip, stretch, gymnastics, no practice
I can make you feel incredible without even trying
Nostalgia, ultra
A deep longing for the past
The beam choon or the vaulter
I can be steady and reliable, or exciting and unpredictable
I can see it now I bless it
I can see a bright future with you
The red pills like heaven, no
My intense feelings for you are like a blissful drug

LETRA EN ESPAÑOL :
Tómame
Tómame como soy por favor,
Hice esto tan fácil
vengo en son de paz bebe.
Sé predicar algo real cuando la acción es medio sincera
te juro que he cambiado
Es divertido cuando estoy azul
no pienso en las reglas
Me vuelvo loco con la Luna saliendo
El dolor sale a jugar ,a asustar.
Drogas, sexo y odio escondidos en lo profundo de mi cerebro
Luchando contra demonios por mi cordura
¿Crees que es gracioso que cambié?
Porque yo estaba gritando, Fuck Love, pero
Realmente esa era mi forma de intentar tomar el camino alto, pero
No me importa decir que estaba equivocado
porque ahora soy rojo
Y honestamente, te elijo sobre mi azul
Así que me puse rojo
Porque siempre supe
Sabía elegirte sobre mi azul
No me tomes por jugar a las cartas, nena
Por favor, no creas que estoy siendo inteligente.
Pasaron veintiún años, soy un Jack
Buscando a la reina de corazones
Eres un diamante en bruto
en el club buscando un nuevo comienzo
Nos repartieron malas manos la última vez
Es por eso que vamos a ser un encanto
Como magia, somos trágicamente románticos
Puedo hacer que tu cuerpo se voltee, estire, gimnasia, sin práctica
nostalgia, ultra
El choon de viga o el saltador
Puedo verlo ahora lo bendigo
Las pastillas rojas como el cielo, no
Es divertido cuando estoy azul
no pienso en las reglas
Me vuelvo loco con la Luna saliendo
El dolor sale a jugar
Drogas aterradoras, sexo y odio escondidos en lo profundo de mi cerebro
Luchando contra demonios por mi cordura
¿Crees que es gracioso que cambié?
Porque yo estaba gritando, Fuck Love, pero
Realmente esa era mi forma de intentar tomar el camino alto, pero
No me importa decir que estaba equivocado
porque ahora soy rojo
Y sinceramente te elijo a ti
Sobre mi azul
Así que me puse rojo
Porque siempre supe
supo elegirte
Sobre mi azul
