La Lune
Sons and Daughters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of fortune or guess
A little drumming boy
Was beating in my chest
La La La
Is this a competition?
Because two by two
They came through
And one in everyone
Fits a million
La La La
You keep on holding back
Can't break it to yourself
That your life is nothing
But the fear's making sense
The fear's making sense
La La La
The lyrics of Sons and Daughters' song La Lune seem to be touching upon themes of competition, fear and self-doubt. The opening lines suggest that the singer is experiencing some kind of excitement or nervousness - perhaps they are about to enter a competition, or are struck by fortune or luck - and this is reflected in their heartbeat, which feels like the beat of a drum. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the adrenaline rush that comes with competition or high-stakes situations, or the uncertainty of a situation where the outcome is unclear.
The later lines suggest that there is a sense of competitive energy in the air - the singer asserts that they are "definitely winning", and that others are also vying for success ("two by two, they came through"). However, the mood of the song does not seem entirely positive - the repeated "La La La" refrain could be interpreted as a way of drowning out negative feelings or doubts. The final lines of the song suggest that someone is holding back, unable to acknowledge the fear that is holding them back in life. Overall, the song seems to portray a complex mixture of emotions - excitement, fear, competition, and self-doubt - that are all inextricably linked.
