Serotonin
Solcura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't promise that I don't want to
Wishing well
With no one else to help you out your shell
White lines of Serotonin
Shipwrecked, I'm lost at sea
Climbing over the path, now I'm roaming
You tear the nerves right out of me
Wasting your life trying to find the time
Another hour spent hopelessly reaching
For a life that just ain't mine
And I can't promise that I don't want to
The world's too big for me
Take me back to when we were evergreen
I wish you well
Now there's no one else, I told you time would tell
White lines of Serotonin
Shipwrecked, I'm lost at sea
Climbing over a path, now I'm roaming
You tear the nerves right out of me, yeah!
Another night spent wondering what if
Wasting your life trying to find the time
Another hour spent hopelessly reaching
For a life that just ain't mine
And now we're gathering dust
Working out how to trust again
But I've got nowhere to run
Oblivion, here I come
An open sky and a smoking gun
Serotonin
Serotonin
Serotonin
Wasting your life trying to find the time
Serotonin
Serotonin
Serotonin
In a life that just ain't mine
Serotonin

Wasting your life trying to find the time

Serotonin
In a life that just ain't mine
And I can't promise that I don't want to
So I won't promise that I don't need to
The lyrics of Solcura's song "Serotonin" explore themes of longing, nostalgia, and dissatisfaction with one's current life. The singer admits to still dreaming and yearning for someone, unable to promise that they don't want to be with them. The line "Wishing well, with no one else to help you out your shell" suggests a sense of isolation and a desire for connection.
The repeated mention of "white lines of Serotonin" can be interpreted in two ways. On one hand, serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood regulation. The white lines could represent the pursuit of happiness or contentment through external means, possibly implying drug use as a way to escape or mask emotions. On the other hand, the lyrics could be metaphorical, representing the search for happiness or fulfillment in general.
The imagery of being "shipwrecked, lost at sea" and "climbing over the path, now roaming" paints a picture of feeling adrift and lost in life, struggling to find direction or purpose. The line "you tear the nerves right out of me" suggests that the subject of the song has a deep emotional impact on the singer, but it is not explicitly stated whether this impact is positive or negative.
The chorus reflects a sense of wasted time and a longing for a different life. The lyrics express a frustration with constantly wondering "what if" and reaching for something that feels unattainable. The singer acknowledges that the world feels too big for them and yearns to go back to a time when they felt youthful and optimistic (when they were "evergreen").
In the final lines, the singer admits to needing the person they are singing about, even though they cannot promise not to want them. This speaks to the complexity of human emotions and the difficulty of letting go of someone even when it may not be the best choice.
Overall, "Serotonin" explores themes of longing, dissatisfaction, and the search for fulfillment or escape. It paints a portrait of someone yearning for a different life while grappling with the complexities of their emotions and desires.
