Aimer Deja (English: To Love Before). Lara loves to write about love. She has the ability to emote love so beautifully through her lyrics and choice of melodies. This song has so many themes, it speaks of love, betrayal and escaping from your pain to places where only you can find peace and calmness. The image of peace and calmness are beautifully done through Lara’s choice of melody, one that has a very calming and soothing tone to it.

S'en Aller (English: To Go Away). This song is packed with captivating contrasts. I think you can have several interpretations about this song, but one interpretation that kept coming to mind was one of taking your own life into perspective by removing yourself from your current circumstances (to go away) and returning to make a fresh new start. In Lara’s own words: “And to go away, as one returns”.

Silence (English: Silence). An English version of Silence is also featured on Lara’s “A Wonderful Life” album. Like most of Lara’s English translations from her French albums, you will find that the English and French version of Silence is very similar to each other in terms of lyrical content. The meaning of Silence is straightforward. Silence is your best friend in tough situations where it is better to keep your mouth shut. But it also refers to the moments of silence where you are not distracted by the noise of the world. In the heat of the moment it is always easier to make decisions when there is silence.

Parce Que Tu Pars (English: Because You Leave). There is so much passion in this song that you get goose bumps when you listen to Lara singing it. It speaks of being left alone, solitude causing you to fade away. No one wants to be lonely. The song speaks of someone looking for a saviour to break the chains of loneliness.

Je Suis Mon Coeur (English: I Am My Heart). Although Lara did not write this song, she must have identified something in it that she wanted to add to this album. Lara never includes a song in an album just for the sake of the song. The song speaks of fear of rejection from a loved one, the longing of the heart that brings pain when you cannot fulfil that need. It also speaks of the fear of loosing the happiness you are experiencing, the uncertainty of the future and never knowing when it will be taken away from you. All this fits in with the title of the album. Being naked means you are exposed, stripped from all your securities and protection, which explains the fear illustrated in this song.

Tango (English: Tango). Lara uses a Tango dancer and a matador as a lovely metaphor for lovers who can’t find each other, the one lover rejecting the other. Belonging to the matador is the challenge like the bull challenges the matador. The dancer dancing towards the matador, but the matador rejects her love by fighting back like fighting a bull. It is a beautiful image supported by a lovely and captivating melody. It is simply a joy to listen to and even better to see Lara perform it on stage.

Imagine (English: Imagine). Lara seems to have a soft spot for tribal music. She whispers the song, with tribal drumbeats and bagpipes as the backdrop. Lara plays with your imagination while singing the song, creating a picture of a paradise of simplicity, peace, honesty, joy and everything that is good. She paints such a pure picture in your mind that you realise it is completely unreal and impossible in our present world.
