So Serious
Sam Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put your fingers on your chest and your body and breathe, let it be
Don't find it hard to say so, I'll say it, I get lonely (sing it)
Put your hands in the air if you sometimes ever get sad like me
Sad like me
Wait patiently
And you're gonna be free
I get so serious sometimes, my emotions sittin' on a wire
And I gotta be out my mind, 'cause the second that I'm happy and I'm fine
Suddenly there's violins and movie scenes and
Crying rivers in the streets and
God, I don't know why, I get so serious sometimes
(So serious)
So serious sometimes
I remember last summer in the city making plans and you felt like mine
Look at me and I felt so Hollywood, baby, then you changed your mind
I got so fuckin' close to feeling so good, so satisfied
I remember last summer in the city making plans and you felt like mine
Felt like mine
Then I froze in time
You changed your mind
And I'll never know why
I get so serious sometimes, my emotions sittin' on a wire
And I gotta be out my mind, 'cause the second that I'm happy and I'm fine
Suddenly there's violins and movie scenes and
Crying rivers in the streets and
God, I don't know why, I get so serious
I get so, oh, oh
Violins and movie scenes and
Crying rivers in the streets and
God, I don't know why I get so serious sometimes
(So serious)
(So serious) Sometimes
So serious sometimes
The lyrics to Sam Smith's song So Serious delve deep into the complex emotions of feeling sad and lonely, and how it can be difficult to articulate those feelings. The song starts with an invitation to the listener: "Put your hands in the air if you sometimes ever get sad like me". It urges us to acknowledge and embrace these emotions, rather than feeling ashamed or trying to bury them. The next line "Put your fingers on your chest and your body and breathe, let it be" encourages us to practice self-care and reminds us that these feelings are normal and okay to experience.
The chorus repeats the idea that sometimes we can't control our emotions and they take over us in unexpected ways. The line "Suddenly there's violins and movie scenes and crying rivers in the streets" paints a vivid picture of how intense these emotions can be, and how they can feel all-consuming. The verses also touch on the pain of feeling rejected or misunderstood by a partner, as Smith sings about an ex-lover and how they "changed [their] mind". The song ends on a slightly more optimistic note, with the repeated line "Wait patiently / And you're gonna be free" suggesting that these intense emotions will eventually pass.
Overall, So Serious is a poignant and honest portrayal of some of the more challenging emotions that we all experience at some point in our lives, and encourages us to embrace these feelings rather than trying to suppress them.
