Serious
Sanders Bohlke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you are serious
I'll be serious, too
I'll rip your heart out
Like you want me to

I am serious
Are you serious?
I'll kiss your mouth
and you'll be better for it

If you are serious
I'll be serious, too

I'll rip your heart out
Like you want me to

Why're you laughing?
This is serious
I can't love you
Like I want to

If you are serious
I'll be serious, too




I'll rip your heart out
Like you want me to

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sanders Bohlke’s song, “Serious,” paint a picture of a complicated relationship between two individuals. The singer of the song is willing to match the intensity of the other person’s feelings, but also acknowledges the risks involved. The opening lines, “If you are serious, I’ll be serious too,” sets the tone of the song. The singer is only willing to invest themselves emotionally if the other person is equally committed. The following line, “I’ll rip your heart out like you want me to,” further emphasizes this point. The singer is willing to expose themselves emotionally, even if it means getting hurt in the end.


The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, each time with increasing intensity. “I am serious, are you serious?” the singer asks. The repetition of this line reinforces the idea of a conversation. The singer is looking for confirmation that the other person is willing to be equally invested in the relationship. The line, “I’ll kiss your mouth and you’ll be better for it” is a playful juxtaposition to the intensity of the previous lines. Despite the risks involved in the relationship, the singer is willing to take that risk for the sake of their love. Ultimately, the singer seems somewhat conflicted, closing with “I can’t love you like I want to.”


Overall, the lyrics of “Serious” suggest a relationship filled with both passion and risk. Both individuals involved are willing to expose themselves emotionally and physically, even if it means experiencing heartbreak in the end.
