WIINSTON Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In lala-land, right, right
In lala-land, ooh, right
In lala-land, ooh
In lala-land, land

Bad bitch from New Orleans, ride dick in her Jordans
Walls pink like it Melrose, got rich of her stories
Bad bitch lookin' foreign, six inch in her closet
Drive stick in a sport, miss jets in the morn'

Ooh, she got me tired mixin' up Sprite, uh
She pull up to the city late at night, uh
She like the band and the spotlight, uh
She like to slide but she not mine

In lala-land, right, right
In lala-land, ooh, right
In lala-land, ooh
In lala-land, land, ah

She want a Balenciaga
Sushi, and wasabi
Wax off like Myagi
Nonfat in her coffee
She wanna fuck at the party, lonely in her apartment
Bitches be hatin', they salty, goat cheese for your wine and
Roll out the molly medicinal, cold sweat when you coming
You wanna know why I'm cynical, messed up, and exhausted?

Ooh, she got me tired mixin' up Sprite, uh
She pull up to the city late at night, uh
She like the band and the spotlight, uh
She like to slide but she not mine

In lala-land, right, right
In lala-land, ooh, right
In lala-land, ooh
In lala-land, land

Coppin',

Gucci,

Harry,

Ice
Hop on my shit,

Yo, shit tight

Testarossa,

'Rari,

Vice

(Bitches be fallin' behind)
Got a feeling that my girl is moving 'round
Moving through the city, girl, you got your ride
Moving through the city
I know them guys, they be talking to me
I know them guys, they be talking

In lala-land, right, right
In lala-land, ooh, right
In lala-land, ooh
In lala-land, land
In lala-land
In lala-land




In lala-land
In lala-land

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of WIINSTON's song "Lala" explore the world of excess and extravagance, as the singer describes a woman from New Orleans who is constantly living in a state of unreality, in "Lala-land." The lyrics describe her material possessions, from her Balenciaga handbag and her pink Melrose walls to her six-inch heels and sports car. She is depicted as a party girl who takes drugs and drinks Sprite all day long, living for the moment and the attention she garners from others.


The singer also hints at some level of jealousy or yearning for this woman, as he describes her late-night arrivals in the city and her affinity for live music and attention. Yet, he acknowledges that she is ultimately not his, she simply likes to "slide" around and enjoy the moment. The repeated refrain of "In lala-land" further emphasizes the theme of escapism and the desire to indulge in pleasure without consequence.


Overall, "Lala" presents a dark commentary on the temptations of the fast life and the desire to escape reality. WIINSTON's hypnotic beat and dreamy vocals add to the song's overall sense of unreality and indulgence.

I came here for Alex, but I have to admit, the music video and the actually lyrics to this song is AMAZING!! I loved the concept. Congrats to the whole team behind it.!!

Roberta Williams-Beverly

Thanks you wiinston for producing a great finished video production for the equally as good song Lala... I really like your concept because it does depict some real truths about the smoke and mirrors of Fame and the narcissistic magalomaniacs that sometimes can spawn out of Hollywood... everything that glitters is not gold... I really appreciate your music...the style, the melodic melodies, and lyrics of your music..it is so pleasing to my ears as I have had the displeasures of listening to so much uncreative junk that's played on the radio with no substance,no originality, no pulse and no heartbeat... I look forward to more of wiinston's driving up the coastline, sailing on a boat,gazing up at the moon and stars,thought pondering tunes...so Nice to finally hear Real music that means something..
