Serotonin
Luca Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go and meet her in the night time
She tell you what she been through
She talkin bout her star signs
Wait
Now she comin for my waist line
He tell her that he love her
He ain’t never found love though
Judgement is his worst strength

but he promised not to fall

Cold winds by the river
House music in my ears lift my spirit
Afraid of losin what we live in
I’d rather keep shut keep my secrets
In and out of the cadence of your heart
tonight cuz I’m faded
I’m too lost in your eyes to notice
that I’m high on serotonin
serotonin, serotonin, serotonin
(serotonin, serotonin, serotonin )

Please just tell me what you really want
Make your move and gimme all you got
Baby I’m awaiting your response
But she tells him that’s she’s moving on

In and out of the cadence of your heart
tonight cuz I’m faded
I’m too lost in your eyes to notice
Make your move and gimme all you got

Baby I’m awaiting your response
But she tells him that’s she’s moving on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Serotonin by Luca talk about a man and a woman who are discussing their life experiences and interests. The woman talks about her star signs while the man confesses his love for her, though he has never experienced love before. The man knows that his judgement can be a weakness, but he promises not to fall. The setting is by the river, and the man is listening to house music that uplifts his spirits. He's afraid of losing what he has in his life, so he'd instead keep his secrets and remain closed off. He's too caught up in the moment to realize that he's feeling high on serotonin.

The refrain, which repeats the word serotonin multiple times, is noteworthy because serotonin is a chemical that regulates mood, happiness, and social behavior. The song title itself, Serotonin, is apt for a song that talks about the singer feeling high on life. This song mirrors the current trend of pop songs that talk about mental health issues and the quest for happiness. It is a song that resonates with most people who are looking for an emotional boost and who feel euphoric when they connect with someone on a deeper level.

Please just tell me what you really want

He wants her to act on her desires

Baby I’m awaiting your response
He is eagerly anticipating her answer

But she tells him that’s she’s moving on
She informs him that she is leaving
