Her music is raw and heartfelt, with hints of folk. Her voice is naturally warm and intense, sometimes gracefully teasing. She knows how to play a tune and wield our emotions, to bring us in her fresh and authentic way, simple stories of everyday life and love.
Sofi's music will remind you of something you did not know you had. And that will remain with you, like a secret so deep and so beautiful that you would want to share it with others, and yet keep it for your own.
LONDON X PARIS
Sofi De la Torre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coming back home is the saddest, my mind's so far gone
You were the one who said nobody even came close
And now you're not here all I need is a much bigger dose
I gave you of me so much more than I granted most
Love like the one in the movies, the one in the posters
Had you in London and Paris but don't keep in touch
You're so good at loving me, only temporarily
And I don't mean this bad, no not necessarily
You're so good at loving me, only temporarily
When you want me... yeah, you get me
Take it or grieve it, grab it or just give it up
You count in minutes, the rest of us look at the clock
You're in your own little time zone and jet lag's a bitch
So I don't come visit no more, but I'd visit your lips
You're so good at loving me, only temporarily
And I don't mean this bad, no not necessarily
You're so good at loving me, only temporarily
When you want me... yeah, you get me
The lyrics to Sofi De la Torre's LONDON X PARIS speak about the longing for a past lover who has physically left, but whose memory lingers on. The song opens with the singer reflecting on how the connection she once shared with this person was not enough to keep them together, and that even though they had been to London and Paris together, being apart is still heartbreaking. She then recounts how this past lover once told her that nobody else came close to her, but now that they are not together, she still longs to be with them and feels she needs more of them.
The chorus of the song captures the conflicting emotions that the singer is experiencing. On the one hand, she acknowledges that her past lover is good at loving her, but only temporarily. She doesn't mean this in a negative way, but she knows that their relationship was not meant to last. On the other hand, she still feels drawn to this person, and when they want her, they get her.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on the way she used to give everything to this person, even more than she gave to others. She compares their love to the kind in the movies and on posters, but acknowledges that they don't keep in touch as much anymore. The bridge of the song is a plea for this person to either take a chance on their relationship or let it go.
Overall, Sofi De la Torre's LONDON X PARIS is a bittersweet tribute to a past relationship that still holds sway over the singer's emotions. The lyrics convey the heartache of wanting something that is not meant to be, even when those feelings are grounded in some of the happiest memories of one's life.
