Lyrics
Serena Hides behind a face
Serena hides her true emotions behind a facade.
That isn't really hers
The face she presents to the world is not authentic.
She always tries a different way
She consistently attempts different methods to turn back time.
To put time in reverse
Implies a desire to undo or change past events.
I wonder what it is that she's hiding from
The narrator questions what Serena is trying to escape from.
She's passed on all her friends
She has distanced herself from all her friends.
When will her crying end?
Expresses concern about when Serena's emotional pain will cease.
Her family wonders where she is.
Her family is uncertain about her whereabouts.
Is she happy feelin' lonely now?
Raises the question of whether she finds happiness in her solitude.
Serena Hides behind a mask
Serena conceals herself behind a metaphorical mask.
That she paints on herself.
Describes a mask she paints on, suggesting a deliberate deception.
The painted smile will never last
The painted smile on the mask is not enduring.
For undeserved will(?)
"Undeserved will" is unclear, possibly indicating the fragility of the facade.
I wonder what it is that she's hiding from
Reiterates the curiosity about what Serena is trying to avoid.
[REPEAT CHORUS]...
[REPEAT CHORUS] - Reiteration, possibly emphasizing the hidden struggles.
She puts a shell around her.
Serena builds a protective barrier around herself.
And colors her lies.
She embellishes lies with colors, possibly implying deception.
And then she'll start to wonder
Serena contemplates the disguise she has created.
About the disguise.
Raises questions about the authenticity of her self-reflection.
Will she ever find a way
Will she ever find a way to break free from the deception?
To find a way out?
Highlights the difficulty of escaping the constructed facade.
I wonder [REPEAT CHORUS]...
[REPEAT CHORUS] - Reiteration, possibly indicating the persistence of her struggles.
