Serious
Duffy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Serious
I'm a trophy on your arm,
You wear me like a charm,
Yes you do.
An accessory that suits,
Your new suede boots,
[Chorus]
I get a feeling deep down, inside,
Something just ain't right.
I get a feeling that tells me I know,
Baby you never show...
How you really feel for me
Tell me, can we ever be,
Serious? Serious in love?
A joke on my expense,
In front of all your friends,
All the time.
A game you like to play,
Leaves me solo,
every day.
[Chorus]
How you really feel for me
Tell me can we ever be,
Serious? Serious in love?
Serious? Serious in love?
[Chorus]
How you really feel for me,
Tell me, can we ever be, tell me,
Serious? Serious in love?
Serious,
So serious
Serious
So serious
Break it down
Serious
Break it down
Serious
Baby
Serious (into fade)
The song "Serious" by Duffy is a track about a one-sided relationship where one person is not getting the love and commitment that they need from their partner. The song's lyrics describe the singer as someone who is used as an accessory or a trophy on her partner's arm. She feels like a joke and is made to feel embarrassed in front of their friends. The chorus of the song is particularly powerful as it conveys the feeling that something is not right or serious in their relationship, and the singer is questioning whether they can ever be serious in love or whether their partner really feels anything for them at all.
The lyrics also convey a sense of vulnerability and insecurity, as the singer is unsure about her partner's true feelings and is left feeling alone every day. The song's slow and somber melody complements the lyrics perfectly, highlighting the sadness and desperation in the singer's voice. Overall, "Serious" is a powerful and emotional track that many people can relate to, particularly those who have experienced one-sided relationships or have felt the pain of unrequited love.
