Lola
The Shapeshifters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oooh yeah
Looking back
I know I was walking around in disguise
In disguise
I was just a lost soul I needed a guide
And the moment that you came to change my life
(Looking back together yeah)
You fired up my heart and made me smile

And you and I know that
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around (world around)

Fears I had
All fading away by the minute and I
Feel alive
You untwisted all of my troubles inside
Like a little piece of heaven finally found
(Looking back together yeah)
You rebuilt my heart up from the ground

And you and I know baby
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around (oh yeah yeah)
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around (yeah you turn my world around)
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around (world around, oh yeah yeah)

I'm yeah
I'm yeah

Oh you fired up my heart and made me smile
And you and I know baby

Turn my world around
Oh yeah yeah
I'm a different person
Yeah
Turn my world around (yeah you turn my world around)
I'm a different person (oh yeah yeah)
Yeah
Turn my world around
I'm a different person




Yeah
Turn my world around (world around, oh yeah yeah)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Shapeshifters' "Lola's Theme" talk about transformation and hope, and explore the idea that with the right person in our lives, we can become someone entirely different. The singer of the song confesses that he or she was once lost and walking around in disguise, in need of a guide. But when the right person came along, they changed his or her life completely, firing up the heart and making them smile.


The song is all about transformation and personal growth – the fears and troubles that once plagued the singer fade away as they begin to feel alive, as though they have found a little piece of heaven finally. The person who came into their life rebuilt their heart up from the ground, and turned their world around.


Ultimately, "Lola's Theme" is a song about how love and connection with the right person can be transformative. When we find that person who helps us to see ourselves differently and to become the person we always knew we could be, we become a different person altogether.

Underrated Masterpiece

@kbyer

Not even, the instrumental was massive on the underground and then this version came and did well in the offical UK top 20. It definitely didn't go unnoticed.
