Serotonin
Alex Sampson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it was
Just you and I
All night long
Shooting stars
My guitar
Playing all of your favorite songs
Pretending we′re okay
I see it on your face so I don't
I know if I ask you won′t
Tell me what I want to know
Since you don't love me
Since you don't love me anymore
All that we could be
Thrown on the floor
Tell me where have you been?
My serotonin
My serotonin
My serotonin
Fell from Eden, I′m not sleeping
Fell from Eden
I′m not sleeping
Tore my heart and now I'm scarred
Tore my heart
And now I′m scarred
Pretending we're okay
Those words I′ll never say
I saw it on your face now I know
Since you don't love me
Since you don′t love me anymore
All that we could be
Thrown on the floor
Tell me where have you been?
My serotonin
My serotonin
I can't live without you
Even if I tried to
I can't live without you
Even if I tried
Even if it tried
Even if I tried to
I can′t live without serotonin
I can′t live without
My serotonin
Love me anymore all that we could be thrown on the floor
Since you don't love me anymore
All that we could be
Thrown on the floor
You′re my serotonin
Tell me where have you been?
My serotonin
I'm not happy without you
I′m not happy without
I'm not happy without you
I′m not happy without you
The song "Serotonin" by Alex Sampson is a melancholic track that tackles the theme of heartbreak and longing. The first verse sets the nostalgic and reminiscent mood. It talks about a time when it was just the singer and the subject of the song. The lines "All night long, shooting stars, my guitar, playing all of your favorite songs" paint a vivid picture of two people having a romantic and intimate time together. However, the chorus is where the song's true emotions come to light. The singer acknowledges that they are not together anymore, and the subject of the song might not love them anymore. They lament, "Since you don't love me anymore, all that we could be, thrown on the floor, tell me where have you been, my serotonin."
The lyrics of "Serotonin" are raw and emotional. The singer is torn between pretending that everything is okay and wanting to know where they stand with the subject of the song. They are aware that their questions might not be answered or might not receive the response they hope for. Through this internal struggle, the singer reveals that they cannot live without "serotonin," which could refer to the subject of the song or a feeling of happiness associated with the person they loved. In the end, the singer accepts that they are not happy without their former partner, and the song ends with the repeated phrase "I'm not happy without you."

Take me back
Let's go back to a time when our love was pure and we were happy together
When it was
The time when our love was strong
Just you and I
Only the two of us, nothing else matters
All night long
We were together all night long, lost in love
Shooting stars
The beautiful moments we shared under the stars
My guitar
My guitar that I used to serenade you with love songs
Playing all of your favorite songs
I played all the songs that you loved, just to make you happy
Pretending we're okay
We're not okay, but we're pretending because we don't want to face the truth
These words I wanna say
There are words I want to say, but I'm scared of what they might imply
I see it on your face so I don't
I see the pain in your eyes, but I ignore it because I'm not ready to deal with it
I know if I ask you won't
I know that if I ask you, you won't tell me what's wrong
Tell me what I want to know
I want to know why our love is falling apart, but you won't tell me
Since you don't love me
Our love has faded away, and you don't love me anymore
All that we could be
We could have had a great future together, but it's thrown away now
Thrown on the floor
Our love is no longer precious, it's been discarded like trash
Tell me where have you been?
I want to know where you've been and what you've been doing without me
My serotonin
You were my source of happiness, my happy pill
Fell from Eden, I'm not sleeping
Our love fell from paradise and I can't sleep without you by my side
Tore my heart and now I'm scarred
Our love broke my heart, leaving me with deep scars
Those words I'll never say
I'll never admit that our relationship is falling apart, I'll just pretend everything's okay
I saw it on your face now I know
I saw the truth in your eyes and now I know what's happening to us
I can't live without you
I can't imagine living without you, you're a part of me
Even if I tried to
Even if I tried, I can't live without you
You're my serotonin
You're my source of happiness, my happy pill
I'm not happy without you
I can't be happy without you, I need you in my life
