Strass & paillettes Lyrics – Vald

Strass & paillettes Lyrics Meaning

[Refrain]
The chorus talks about how shiny and glamorous things can look exciting at first, but they are only surface-level and empty. He is tired of all the fake glitz and wants something real that truly excites him. It’s not about appearances or temporary fun; he’s searching for a deep connection, a genuine spark that goes beyond just looking impressive. The shiny stuff is just a reflection, and he wants authenticity instead.

[Pont]
This part shows Vald in a fun, party-like setting, mentioning famous places, people, and flashy scenes. But while everyone is busy enjoying the show and dancing under disco balls, he is quietly thinking to himself. He observes the scene without fully joining in, reflecting on the contrast between the flashy life around him and what he really wants deep down.

[Couplet]
In this verse, Vald talks about how he sometimes performs what people expect from him, wearing a mask and smiling for the crowd. After the show, he notices how fake some people are—what looks valuable or impressive, like jewelry or glitter, is actually shallow. He points out that people are different in photos than in real life, and many act fake or superficial. Instead of joining in the false energy, he focuses on creating real music in the studio and staying away from parties and pretentious people. He wants honesty and substance, not the illusions of fame and fun. The verse shows his struggle to remain true to himself while navigating a world full of appearances and false impressions.

[Refrain]
The chorus repeats the idea that all the sparkle and glamour are temporary and shallow. He emphasizes again that he is looking for something real, a true spark that isn’t just a reflection. While others may enjoy the glitter and showiness, he values sincerity and meaningful experiences over flashy appearances that don’t last.
