Cover art for Laura lyrics by Bat for Lashes

I believe the most direct meaning of the song is about growing up, maturity, and getting left behind. People often get lost when they become adults. When you're young and in your early 20's, life is a party. But eventually you get tired of the madness and settle into your life. Which is why Laura's heart broke when the party died. Her friends grew up and stopped their crazy nights, but Laura was afraid to mature and become boring. That's why she says they've left her behind, since her friends didn't wait for her to grow up. And now Laura is stuck in a haze. She's too old to keep partying, but never learned how to be responsible. She's asking Natasha to have just one more crazy night together (where they can dance on tables). It's breaking Natasha's heart to see her friend struggle with her life, especially since Laura is a bright, fun person (glitter in the dark). She says Laura is more than a superstar because she is. Laura is more then this party lifestyle she now wanders aimlessly in.
