La Lune Lyrics
Breaking my back in the heart of this land
Feet above water and softened in sand
I could have wanted any part of this
[Verse 2]
But I find the heat is too harsh on the skin
Drowning in light need the cold to sink into my soul
My soul
[Chorus]
Ignore signs of change, no more
I come back again, I am flawed
[Verse 3]
Swallow me whole with the moon on my back
One side is pink and the other is black
I'm good at hiding in the dead and grey
[Verse 4]
But time after time I've been people I'm not
Places we go to, are all that we've got
So why don't we go? So why don't we go?
I'll never know
[Chorus]
Ignore signs of change, no more
I come back again, I am flawed
About
The music video premiered on July 6 of 2016. In a Billboard article she states that
The “La Lune” video consists of old home movies Marten herself compiled. “I found these old VHS’s at home and I remembered there was a load of footage of our family wandering around Whitby beaches and BnBs,” Marten says. “The song’s all washy and dreamy and it instantly made me think of that. We borrowed some friends' film camera for a few months but also managed to capture a lot of sentimental moments too. I love watching it.”
In another interview, Billie spoke about the song’s inspiration: “I was thinking about a time last year when I really badly sunburnt my face at a festival—so it’s kind of about how I can’t really take the ‘heat’ of everything very well.”
