It's Not Serious
Hospitality Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You walked me home after the party
And... folded my laundry
Might sing along
I don't think you've noticed

Despite all your calls, waited 'till Wednesday
At the telephone, talk until Tuesday
Romantic weeks,
I don't think I noticed, so it's not serious

[Chorus]

It's not serious!
It's not serious!

Tell all your girlfriends
Tell them you'll be out all night
Old photograph under the mattress
Woopsie magazine on the ceiling

I think it's old
I don't think I want this, so

[Chorus]

It's not serious!
It's not serious!





Tell all your girlfriends
Tell them you'll be out all night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hospitality's song "It's Not Serious" tell the story of a woman who is involved in a casual relationship with a man. He walks her home after parties and does small favors for her, like folding her laundry. They talk on the phone for hours, but only wait until Wednesday to see each other again. Despite the romantic gestures and moments, she knows that it isn't a serious relationship. She admits that she doesn't notice his attempts at being romantic, which only reinforces the idea that she's not really invested.


The chorus repeats the phrase "It's not serious," emphasizing the fact that this relationship is not meant to be taken seriously. The woman wants to keep things casual and doesn't want to be tied down. She encourages the man to tell his friends that he'll be out all night with her. The lyric "Old photograph under the mattress" suggests that this isn't the woman's first time having a casual relationship. The "woopsie magazine on the ceiling" also implies that this isn't a serious, emotional connection between the two people. She muses that she thinks the relationship is old and that she doesn't want it anymore, solidifying her desire to move on from this experience without any emotional attachments.


Interestingly, the melody of this song belies the lyrics, giving it a dreamy, romantic quality that is at odds with the casual tone of the lyrics. This song was released as a single in 2014 and appeared on Hospitality's second album "Trouble". The band's lead vocalist, Amber Papini, has stated in interviews that the song is about a casual relationship that she was in and that she felt that she couldn't handle anything more serious at the time. Interestingly, she also said that the melody of the song was inspired by ABBA songs.
