Sera
Raney Shockne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her tongue tells tales of rebellion.
But she was so fast,
And quick with her bow,
No one quite knew where she came from.
Sera was never quite the quietest girl—
Her attacks are loud and they're joyful.
And she knew how to enrage them.
She would always like to say,
"Why change the past,
When you can own this day?"
Today she will fight,
To keep her way.
She's a rogue and a thief,
And she'll tempt your fate.
Sera was never quite the wealthiest girl—
Some say she lives in a tavern.
But she was so sharp,
And quick with bow—
Arrows strike like a dragon.
Sera was never quite the gentlest girl—
Her eyes were sharp like a razor.
But she knew the ways of commoner men,
And she knew just how to use them.
The song "Sera" by Raney Shockne is an ode to a rebellious and free-spirited woman named Sera. The first verse of the song describes Sera's insubordinate tongue and her lightning-fast speed and accuracy with her bow. Nobody knows where she came from or how she acquired her skills, but everyone knows that she is a force to be reckoned with. The second verse explains that Sera is not one to keep quiet or back down from a fight. She is loud and joyful in her attacks, and she knows how to push the buttons of those in power. She believes in living in the present and fighting for what she wants, no matter what the consequences may be.
The third verse provides more insight into Sera's character. She may not be wealthy, but she is sharp and resourceful. Her arrows strike with the accuracy and power of a dragon's breath. Sera is not a gentle woman with soft or forgiving eyes, but her sharp gaze is just as deadly as her bow. She understands how the common people live and can use that knowledge to her advantage. Throughout the song, the listener can sense the strength and determination that Sera possesses. She will stand up for herself, even if it means going against the norm or facing adversity.
