About This Track

'Laura' by M83 is an Alternative track from the album 'Fantasy', released in 2023. Its lyrics sound like an urgent, intimate address, leaning into the physical comfort of being held while insisting that surrender is welcome: “it’s electric”. The narrator wants closeness, talks of a call and a provenance, then shifts into a guided fantasy of motion, taking the listener on a ride and urging a voyage through the night sky. Control is treated as optional, with a final turn that frames losing control as the moment to start moving.

"Laura" is a track by M83, from the album Fantasy, released 17th March 2023. The track is 4:08 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about M83.

Lyrics

Laura

Hold us in your arms
We're not feeling much
The provenance of the call
Is where I wanna be
'Cause when you hold us
It's electric
And when you lead us
Take us on a ride
I'll take you on a voyage through the night sky
Before we lose control
And it's okay to lose control, it's time to fly
The distance of the soul
Well there's no distance, in the soul you are a limitless star
Is where I wanna be
You're wrapped up tight with me
'Cause when you hold us
It's electric
And when you lead us
We look deep into the heavens
We are the planet makers
I am the mother of all
Over every galaxy
There is no one but me
I am the mother of all
Immortal energy
Faceless wonder
I am the mother of all
Over every galaxy
There is no one but me
I am the mother of all
Immortal energy
Faceless wonder
