No More Games
Serani - Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Till you came around
I had my feet on the ground
So much for that
Just an ordinary day
Till you came around
And now my life's upside down
And it's all because I heard you say
And it's all because I heard you say
And it's all because I walked your way
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
And I heard you say
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Oh just right
You got to sit tight
Close your eyes
And let your head go down
Let your feet up off the ground
And let your head go down
Let your feet up off the ground
Just an ordinary day
Till you came around
I had my head straight and sound
They've told me that
Just an ordinary day
Till you came around
And now my life is on the bounce
Just like that
And it's all because I walked your way
And it's all because I heard you say
And I should've known to stay away
But I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
I heard you say
And I heard you say
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
The lyrics of Serani's song "No More Games" describe a narrative of a person's life being turned upside down after encountering a significant other. The song opens with the singer stating that they were living an ordinary day until they met this person. They had their feet firmly planted on the ground, but that's all been cast aside. They had their head straight and sound, but that's no longer the case. The chorus repeats the phrase "And it's all because I heard you say" several times, illustrating the pivotal role spoken words played in the encounter.
The verse then goes on to discuss the effects of the significant other's words. They had their life turned upside down. They had their head go down and their feet up off the ground, implying that the person has them floating on cloud nine. The section before the chorus repeats its melody and meaning, with "I should've known to stay away" in place of "And it's all because I walked your way." The song ends with a final repeat of "Hey hey," implying that the former person's impact on the singer is lasting.
The song appears to promote the message that even the most ordinary days can become extraordinary if the right person comes along. The lyricist is describing that they were content before this fateful meeting happened, but implies that meeting someone they connected with on this level has opened their eyes to a life that's more fulfilling. It's a pleasant reminder that everyone can find true love at any time, and it has the power to change lives forever.

Just an ordinary day
Life was normal
Till you came around

Imagine that
It's hard to believe

Allow your thoughts to flow and ease your mind
Let your feet up off the ground
Let yourself loosen up
I had my head straight and sound

Others have confirmed it
And now my life is on the bounce

Just like that
Suddenly
And I should've known to stay away
The subject realizes they should have kept their distance
