Serenity
Lena Fayre Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you said you wanted me
I swore I would give anything
When you said you needed me
I thought I would give everything
But you, you
But you, oh you
You know that your love
Will never be enough

You know that your love
Will never be enough
You wanted my all
But I'm a loaded gun
I don't need your anything
I'm better off when I am free
Please take back your everything
Your light weighs heavily on me
But you know that your love
Will never be enough
You know that your love
Will never be enough
You wanted my all
But I'm a loaded gun

You wanted my all
But I'm a loaded gun

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lena Fayre's song Serenity convey a feeling of independence and self-worth, even in the face of someone else's love and desire. The song seems to be addressing a past lover who wanted everything from Fayre, but she is resistant to giving herself completely to them. She acknowledges that their love is not enough for her and that she is better off without them. Despite the pressure to give in and submit to the person's desires, Fayre sees herself as a "loaded gun" that does not need the other person's influence or control.

The repeated phrase "you know that your love will never be enough" highlights the idea that Fayre's lover can't give her what she truly needs, which is her own freedom and control over her own life. She recognizes that giving everything to someone else only weighs her down and prevents her from being truly happy. The line "please take back your everything, your light weighs heavily on me" is particularly poignant, as it emphasizes the emotional burden that comes with trying to live up to someone else's expectations.

Overall, the lyrics to Serenity are an empowering message about valuing oneself and refusing to give in to the demands of others. Fayre's strong and confident delivery of the lyrics reinforces this message, making it a powerful and inspiring song.
