- Meaning
[Refrain]
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na (Tu meri mauja hain), na-na
[Verse 1: Sam Smith]
Hush, don't speak
When you spit your venom, keep it shut
I hate it when you hiss and preach
About your new messiah, 'cause your theories catch fire
[Pre-Chorus: Sam Smith]
I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you read your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough
[Chorus: Sam Smith]
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go, "La, la, la"
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it, I'll find a way to block it, I go
[Refrain]
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
(I found a way to block it, I go)
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
[Verse 2: Sam Smith]
If our love is running out of time
I won't count the hours, rather be a coward
When our worlds collide
I'm gonna drown you out before I lose my mind (Lose my mind)
[Pre-Chorus: Sam Smith]
I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you read your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough
[Chorus: Sam Smith]
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go, "La, la, la"
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it, I'll find a way to block it, I go
[Refrain]
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
(I found a way to block it, I go)
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la (Tu meri mauja hain)
(I found a way to block it, oh)
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
(I found a way to block it, I go)
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la (Tu meri mauja hain)
[Chorus: Sam Smith]
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go, "La, la, la"
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it, I'll find a way to block it, I go
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go, "La, la, la"
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
'Cause if my heart can't stop it, I'll find a way to block it, I go
[Refrain]

Na-na, la-la-la-la-la, na-na-na-na-na, la-la
Na-na, la-la-la-la-la
(Tu meri mauja hain)
[Refrain]

[Verse 2: Sam Smith]
Here, the singer addresses a failing relationship, expressing a desire to avoid counting the time left. The lyrics suggest a preference for avoiding confrontation and drowning out the other person's words to maintain sanity.
[Pre-Chorus: Sam Smith]
This repetition of the pre-chorus reinforces the theme of exhaustion and the decision to stop engaging with negative speech. The singer's resolve to avoid the toxicity is evident.
[Chorus: Sam Smith]
