Killing Me Slowly (LaLaLa) Lyrics – Alan Walker, Steve Aoki

Killing Me Slowly (LaLaLa) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Just sounds to set the mood, no words yet.

[Verse 1]
The singer talks about being fooled by someone who seemed special but wasn’t perfect. They feel haunted by memories of that person and nothing can erase what they saw. Even trying to distract themselves with drinks or drügs doesn’t help them forget the pain.

[Chorus]
They are watching someone they care about being physically close to another person, and it hurts them deeply. They feel exposed and out of place, like everyone is staring, so they try to hide by covering their face, ears, and eyes. The repetitive “la-la-la” shows how overwhelmed and blocked out they feel, unable to focus on anything else. It’s like their mind is trying to escape the situation, drowning in the emotional pain of jealousy, heartbreak, and helplessness while the world keeps moving around them.

[Drop]
The sounds represent confusion and being lost in emotions, blocking out everything else. It’s a moment of feeling overwhelmed and trapped in the intensity of the situation.

[Verse 2]
The party lights and loud music make the singer feel dizzy and emotionally unstable. They can’t tell if their feelings are from excitement or hurt, but the emotions hit them strongly and they feel trapped in the chaos.

[Chorus]
Now they see the person they care about getting even closer to someone else, pretending to know them. This causes slow, deep emotional pain that feels unbearable. The singer feels like the center of attention, embarrassed and wanting to hide. They try to shut out the world by covering their face, ears, and eyes, while the repetitive “la” represents being consumed by overwhelming feelings and trying not to face reality directly.

[Drop]
The repetitive sounds show emotional overload and the struggle to block out pain. The singer is lost in the beat, trying to escape their feelings, yet the emotions keep pulsing through.

[Outro]
The singer is still overwhelmed and trying to hide from the painful scene. They focus only on the sounds, covering themselves to escape reality, but the emotional hurt keeps looping in their mind.
