La La Lost You Lyrics – Niki ft. 88rising
La La Lost You Lyrics
[Verse 1: Niki]
While I'm on Sunset, are you on the subway?
While I drive, are you getting on the L-train?
I mean, Manhattan's nice, but so are Malibu nights
You would know if you stayed
You would know if you put up a fight
Your toes turn blue in winter, I'm getting red, rum
Does the trick for all of the things left unsaid, I'm
Missing our drunken 2 A.M. strolls in K-Town
Now you're chasing fake highs in the Upper West Side
[Pre-Chorus 1: Niki]
And f**king on Brooklyns in Brooklyn
Your Chelseas in Chelsea
Hope that eases the pain, so you remember to miss me
And you sold your car, now you walk for miles
Bet your feet feel numb
(Crosswalks in my mind are shaky, so please hold on tight)
[Chorus: Niki]
All my demons run wild
All my demons have your smile
In the city of angels, in the city of angels
Hope New York holds you
Hope it holds you like I do
While my demons stay faithful
In the city of angels
[Verse 2: Niki]
Summer's ending now and the nights are cooling down
Remember last winter when we would drive around?
Silverlake, Hollywood, pretty little white lies got me good
Thought this was love, I was misunderstood, mmm
[Pre-Chorus 2: Niki]
Feeling low on the low, driving through NoHo
If I'm honest, I'd call, but I'm trying to let go
And I hope you're happy, living life in taxis
But you'll always have me, you'll always have me
[Chorus: Niki]
All my demons run wild
All my demons have your smile
In the city of angels, in the city of angels
Hope New York holds you
Hope it holds you like I do
While my demons stay faithful
In the city of angels
La La Lost You Lyrics Meaning
The lyrics of "La La Lost You" by Niki reflects on a past romantic relationship that has ended, with the protagonist grappling with the memories and emotions associated with it. Set against the contrasting backdrops of Los Angeles (referred to as the "city of angels") and New York, the lyrics delve into the bittersweet nostalgia and lingering feelings of love and loss. Niki paints a vivid picture of the different lives she and her ex-lover now lead, highlighting the physical and emotional distance between them. Despite the separation and the new experiences each person is undergoing, the protagonist's thoughts and "demons" remain tied to the memories of the relationship.
[Verse 1]
In this verse, Niki contrasts her life in Los Angeles with her ex-lover's new life in New York. She mentions iconic locations like Sunset Boulevard and the L-train to highlight their physical distance. Niki reminisces about their past moments together, suggesting that her ex didn't fight to keep the relationship. She contrasts the cozy winters in New York, where her ex is, with her own coping mechanism of drinking rum. The mention of "drunken 2 A.M. strolls in K-Town" evokes a sense of intimacy and nostalgia, contrasting sharply with her ex's new, perhaps superficial, lifestyle on the Upper West Side.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Niki uses wordplay with "Brooklyns in Brooklyn" and "Chelseas in Chelsea" to imply that her ex is with new partners in these locations. She hopes these new relationships make her ex realize what they had lost. The imagery of selling the car and walking for miles suggests a significant lifestyle change for her ex, implying that the freedom and ease once shared in the relationship are now gone. The mention of "crosswalks in my mind are shaky" suggests uncertainty and a struggle to move on from the past.
[Chorus]
The chorus reveals the inner turmoil Niki feels. Her "demons" represent her unresolved emotions and memories of her ex, which are rampant and always carry the reminder of her ex's smile. Despite living in the "city of angels" (Los Angeles), a place often associated with hope and new beginnings, she feels trapped by her past. She expresses a wish that New York (her ex's new home) treats her ex well, hoping it provides the same comfort and love she once did. The "demons staying faithful" implies that her lingering feelings remain, even though the relationship has ended.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Niki reflects on the changing seasons and how they mirror the changes in her life and relationship. She reminisces about driving around with her ex last winter, suggesting a time when they were close and shared intimate moments. The mention of Silverlake and Hollywood brings up specific memories tied to locations in Los Angeles. She acknowledges that she was misled by "pretty little white lies," which made her believe they had a genuine love, only to realize she was misunderstood about the true nature of their relationship.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Here, Niki confesses to feeling down while driving through North Hollywood (NoHo). She admits that she would reach out to her ex if she were honest with herself, but she is attempting to move on. Despite her efforts to let go, she still wishes her ex happiness, even though it means living a transient life in taxis. She concludes by affirming that her ex will always have a place in her heart, indicating the lasting impact of their relationship.
