NIKI - La La Lost You (Official Video)
Happy holidays from all of us at 88rising!

Directed by Frank Borin

Lyrics:
While I’m on Sunset are you on the subway
While I drive are you gettin’ on the L-train
I mean, Manhattan’s nice, but so are Malibu nights
You would know if you stayed,
you would know if you put up a fight

Your toes turn blue in winter, I’m getting red
Rum does the trick for all of the things left unsaid
I’m missin’ our drunken 2AM strolls in K-Town
Now you’re chasing fake highs in the Upper West Side

and fuckin on Brooklyn’s in Brooklyn
your Chelsea’s in Chelsea
Hope that eases the pain,
so you remember to miss me
and you sold your car,
now you walk for miles
bet your feet feel numb

(crosswalks in my mind are shakey so please hold on tight)

All my demons run wild
All my demons have your smile
in the city of angels
in the city of angels
Hope New York holds you
Hope it holds you like I do
While my demons stay faithful
in the city of angels

Summer’s ending now and the nights are cooling down
Remember last winter when we would drive around
Silverlake, Hollywood
Pretty little white lies got me good
Thought this was love,
I was misunderstood, mm

Feelin’ low on the low,
drivin through NoHo
if I’m honest I’d call,
but I’m trying to let go

and I hope you’re happy, living life in taxis
but you’ll always have me,
you’ll always have me

All my demons run wild
All my demons have your smile
in the city of angels
in the city of angels
Hope New York holds you
Hope it holds you like I do
While my demons stay faithful
in the city of angels

My relationship began with "indigo" and ended with "la la lost you".
I felt this

[definitelydira]

crazy how listening to this version makes you feel empowered and the acoustic version makes you feel devastated at the same time

[ellenahs_]

NIKI’s lyrics really hits different. You never almost see these lyrics together in a song. It’s nothing like those repetitive words that people sing. It’s just, it’s so breathtakingly beautiful. I love how she writes, it’s so inspiring. I’d love to write like her as well.

I broke up with my boyfriend in last July. This song made me feel like I will be ok. I hope Tokyo holds him like I did.
Thank you niki, for writing this song.

Niki is a talented singer, and she doesn't need lisa's or someone else's playlist to let the world know that she is incredible

[insyirah]

Video analysis:


In the beginning we see niki sending off a bunch of of momentos to her ex, when he receives them he's reminded of their past.


In the first half of the video niki is reminiscing the past, and is trying to cope with the loneliness that surrounds a breakup. Cue the flashbacks to the past when the couple did stuff together, and then fast forwards to when niki is doing the same stuff on her own. She's trying to move on but finding it hard to do so. On the other hand, the guy seems to be trying to move on quickly, hanging out and meeting with other girls.


In the second half of the video, niki is running with her dog and meets someone new. They exchange numbers. From then on, you see that she's happier, and spends time with friends (old/new im not sure) and even performing/singing again. She's finally moving past the hurt and on to fresh beginnings. On the other hand, the guy stops meeting other girls and insteads spends his time alone and drinks while everyone around him seems to be a couple or in love.


At the end of the video, niki is looking at a christmas tree, reminiscent to the christmas tree scene of niki and the guy. She seems to be thinking about the past again. Then, she walks away. This resembles her moving on for good.


Niki's approach to the breakup was one of solitude and feeling the emptiness/loneliness, and when she's ready for love again, she finds it during a normal everyday activity. Meanwhile, the guy was trying to push away his feelings and quickly move on from one girl to another, but soon realises it was hopeless because he still misses her.


I don't know why I did this random chunk of analysing, but Niki's videos always evoke a sense of 'wanting to analyse' especially because she's really good at word play and that sort of stuff evident in her lyrics. Anyways, happy holidays to anyone reading this. I appreciate you x

[nocturnalsilence]

Man > move on > feeling guilty > wanna come back

Women > feeling guilty > wanna come back > move on

[riverrivs]

I'm here because NIKI is such a queen.

We really appreciate that many people recognized NIKI because she deserves it but pls stop commenting that "I came here because of..." let's just enjoy and appreciate NIKI and her songs

[cheonjae]

can we just stop 'who came here because of...'? Appreciate the singer too. It's great if you have a good taste in music after finding out from your idols, but why do other people need to know too?

[geigosakayudha]

I'm trying to collecting my ambyar heart while watching this.

[rowewills]

Merry Christmas to Niki and Niki only.

[lalalalala]

"Im here bcs lisa and jk" guys, stop please💀. No one ask and no one wanna know, we get it.💀

[sabrinaj]

i can't stop thinking about how niki literally said writing this song broke her because it was personal and it makes me appreciate this song even more <3

[jesshikalol]

the video is literally the essence of the saying "when women break up they feel the pain, in the beginning, it begins to set in and they'll spend months alone but when men go through the break up they come off as nothing happened, everything is ok but towards much later time the men begin to feel the pain they pushed away"


notice throughout the video how this saying is put into effect.
long distant love, lost love is difficult and at some point we make a choice to stay or leave in a relationship current or not

[OcaiBulian-temv]

Lyrics:
While I'm on Sunset, are you on the subway?
While I drive, are you gettin' on the L-train?
I mean, Manhattan's nice
But so are Malibu nights
You would know if you stayed
You would know if you put up a fight
Your toes turn blue in winter, I'm gettin' red
Rum does the trick for all of the things left unsaid
I'm missin' our drunken 2 a.m. strolls in K-Town
Now you're chasing fake highs in the Upper West Side
And f- on Brooklyn's in Brooklyn
Your Chelsea's in Chelsea
Hope that eases the pain
So you remember to miss me
And you sold your car
Now you walk for miles
Bet your feet feel numb
Crosswalks in my mind are shaky, so please hold on tight
All my demons run wild
All my demons have your smile
In the city of angels
In the city of angels
Hope New York holds you
Hope it holds you like I do
While my demons stay faithful
In the city of angels
Summer's endin' now and the nights are coolin' down
Remember last winter when we would drive around?
Silverlake, Hollywood, pretty little white lies got me good
Thought this was love, I was misunderstood, mmm
Feelin' low on the low, drivin' through NoHo
If I'm honest, I'd call, but I'm trying to let go
And I hope you're happy, livin' life in taxis
But you'll always have me, you'll always have me
All my demons run wild
All my demons have your smile
In the city of angels
In the city of angels
Hope New York holds you
Hope it holds you like I do
While my demons stay faithful
In the city of angels

Niki is so underrated! All her songs are so good! She deserves more promotion and attention because she is naturally a gem.

[nurisabilamushalliena]

i feel this clip capture how a man and woman react of losing each other accurately..
At first, slightly after they broke, the man didnt feel sad at all. He "seems" like continue his life by flirting other girls, open his heart for relationship, going to his work and hobbies. But the woman looks sad and easily irritated.

But then the time goes by, the woman slowly find herself again, slowly reach her land again by having happy time with her girls, doing her hobby, open her heart for a new relationship. But the man turn the opposite that he lately realize how sad and empty his heart without her.

[jelloyellow]

moral of the story: dogs will stick with u thru thick n thin. stan niki. stan dogs.
