Serotonin
Lost Serotonin: Love, Loneliness, and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Oh baby your distinct
Expressing admiration for the uniqueness of the person addressed.
So ostentatious
Describing the person as showy or extravagant.
Acting on your instincts
Encouraging the person to follow their natural instincts.
Smooth operational
Suggesting smooth and efficient functioning.
What's your inhibitions
Questioning the person's reservations or fears.
You could be my lady my oh my miss interest
Expressing romantic interest in the person.
Now I miss the interest
Reflecting on a loss of interest in someone.
We started dancing closer
Describing a moment of intimacy while dancing.
Sleeping in my bed eight times a week
Indicating frequent closeness and intimacy.
Didn't even notice that we were alone
Realizing the solitude despite being together.
Slow dancing with our feet off the ground
Describing a romantic moment while dancing.
Oh no
Expressing concern or realization of a problem.
I left the rest of my serotonin on the dance floor
Metaphorically leaving happiness (serotonin) on the dance floor.
Guess I'm a little lonely without who I danced for
Feeling lonely without the person danced for.
Should've tied one shoe so I'd only fall halfway
Regretting not taking precautions in love.
Halfway in love
Being partially in love.
The problem ain't the fall but it's just hard to get up
Acknowledging difficulties in recovering from a fall in love.
Conversations in the mirror ain't been going so well
Struggling with self-reflection and communication.
They just ricocheting dreams of when I'm not by myself
Thoughts about missed opportunities when alone.
Think of l o v e playing we swaying toe to toe
Recalling moments of love and connection.
When here mama called her a mermaid I took that as a joke
Referencing a playful comment about someone being a mermaid.
Too good to be true to be mine to be ours
Doubting the authenticity of a seemingly perfect relationship.
Even scared my mermaid out to sea
Expressing fear of losing someone special.
Cuz I've been taking colder showers
Using cold showers as a metaphor for emotional pain.
Just to ease the melting ice below my feet
Coping with emotional challenges.
I wish that I knew what I wanted
Expressing a wish for clarity in personal desires.
And thinking it through before talking
Regretting impulsive actions and valuing thoughtful consideration.
Instead I found all of my hearts in her cards
Discovering deep emotions through a relationship.
And we both know it's hard not to blame be cuz
Recognizing the challenges in the relationship.
I left the rest of my serotonin on the dance floor
Repeating the metaphor of leaving happiness on the dance floor.
Guess I'm a little lonely without who I danced for
Reiterating the sense of loneliness without the person danced for.
Should've tied one shoe so I'd only fall halfway
Reflecting on not taking precautions in love.
Halfway in love
Being halfway in love and the difficulty of getting back up.
The problem ain't the fall but it's just hard to get up
Emphasizing the challenge of recovering from a fall in love.
And if I tied both shoes then I'd never fall all the way
Considering the idea of not fully committing to love.
All the way in love
Being fully in love but struggling to get back up.
The problem ain't the fall it's just that I can't get up
Highlighting the difficulty in recovering from a fall in love.
I can't get up from this
Expressing an inability to move on from the emotional state.
