Laura
Vincent Vallières Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

J'me sens tout mélangé Laura
Me semble que tout ça
Me ressemble pas
Me semble que tout ça
Me ressemble pas
J'aurais besoin de toi de ce temps-là
Je suis tout essoufflé Laura
Je cours après je sais pus quoi

Je cours après je sais pus quoi
J'aimerais ça que tu me serres
Dans tes bras
Dis-moi donc que je suis pas tout seul
Dis-moi que ça sert à rien que j'en veule
À tout le monde autour de moé
Dis-moi donc que tu me comprends
Dis-moi qu'au bout y'a le printemps
Que tout va s'arranger
J'me sens tout mélangé Laura
Les jours ont perdu leur éclat
Les jours ont perdu leur éclat
Y me reste juste toi dans ces temps-là
Dis-moi que la vie est pas si pire
Dis-moi qu'un jour je vais en rire
Tout finit par passer
Dis-moi que l'amour se peut encore

Dis-moi que mon chien est pas mort
Viens donc passer la veillée

Overall Meaning

The song "Laura" by Vincent Vallières is a beautiful expression of feeling lost, confused, and disconnected from the world. In the first verse, he expresses his feeling of not belonging, saying that he feels mixed up and that nothing seems to resemble him. He feels out of breath, and he's chasing after something that he can't identify. In these moments, he craves comfort and security, longing for Laura to wrap her arms around him and tell him that everything is okay.

As the song progresses, Vincent continues to seek solace from Laura, asking her to tell him that he's not alone in feeling this way. He wants her to reassure him that it's okay to want something different from everyone else around him. He wants to know that she understands him and believes that there is a brighter future ahead. Through his lyrics, Vincent speaks to the universal human experience of feeling lost and alone, even when surrounded by others.
