Cover art for Laura lyrics by Bat for Lashes

i adore this song, one of my friends used to sing the chorus to me all the time (my name is actually laura).

it seems to just be that this girl, laura, is having a rough time, she's got really low self-esteem, she doesn't love herself enough. the singer is telling her that she is so important to her (the train that crashed my heart), and she is beautiful (the glitter in the dark), and is someone that the singer really looks up to - but she is more than what the singer thinks she is, and she is more than she will ever think she is (more than a superstar). i just think that this song is about a strong and beautiful friendship :)
