Serenity
X-Ray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see it in your face
I've known you far too long
You've slipped once again
Maybe
You're having hallucinations
Nightmares, perhaps
Of that normal life
Finally peace for me
I tried all my life
For this serenity
You were there
Or was I deceived
I fell in love with a dream
Not reality
I could not tell you
My real name
It was lost in a haze
With all those other days
Well now
You need an operation
Some drugs, some blades, some knives
To stitch you up just right
What would you do
Without the connection
We'll hook you back up to the Wire
And feed you once again
Fantasy
This is just fantasy
But perfection in one side
Is reality
You were there
My guiding light
Leading me through this maze
Of monotony
And I could not tell you
Just what was wrong
The words were lost in a shell
Of my former self
And I could not tell you
The reason why I'm here
It's been totally erased
With the rest of me
And there is no beginning
Or no end to me
I could just break free
If you come to me
In X-Ray's song "Serenity," the lyrics capture the complex emotions of a person who is struggling with their own reality. The opening lines immediately establish a sense of concern and familiarity as the singer notices something wrong in the face of someone they have known for a long time. The repetition of "slipped once again" suggests a recurring pattern of struggle or relapse.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the person may be experiencing hallucinations or nightmares, possibly as a result of craving a "normal life" that seems just out of reach. The yearning for peace and serenity is expressed, implying that the singer has been striving for tranquility for a long time, but it remains elusive.
The reference to being deceived and falling in love with a dream rather than reality adds a layer of emotional ambiguity. It suggests that the singer may have idealized the relationship or the person they are addressing. There is a sense of exasperation and resignation in the lyrics, as if the singer has given up on revealing their true self, lost in a haze of past memories.
The mention of an operation and the need for drugs, blades, or knives to "stitch you up just right" hints at seeking external solutions for internal struggles. The line about being hooked back up to the Wire implies a dependence on something external, possibly a metaphor for an addiction or a means of escaping from reality.
The notion of fantasy and its juxtaposition with perfection and reality underscores the blurred lines between what is real and imagined in the singer's mind. The guiding light mentioned becomes a source of support and direction in a monotonous maze, suggesting that the person they are addressing has been a source of stability amidst the chaos.
In the final verse, the singer reveals their own personal struggle of not being able to articulate what is wrong or the reason for their presence. The loss of their former self and the erasure of a clear beginning or end suggests a profound disconnection from their own identity. The desire to "break free" if the person comes to them hints at a longing for a deeper connection or understanding.
Overall, "Serenity" delves into themes of internal turmoil, addiction, disillusionment, and a search for peace amidst confusion and ambiguity.

What's wrong
What is the issue or problem
I see it in your face
I can perceive it from your facial expression
I've known you far too long
We have been acquainted for a significant period of time
You've slipped once again
You have relapsed or made a mistake again
Maybe
Possibly
You're having hallucinations
You are experiencing false perceptions
Nightmares, perhaps
Possibly having distressing dreams
Of that normal life
About the ordinary existence
Finally
Eventually or at last
Finally peace for me
I have achieved tranquility
I tried all my life
I made continuous efforts throughout my life
For this serenity
In pursuit of this state of calmness
You were there
You were present
Or was I deceived
Or did I delude myself
I fell in love with a dream
I became infatuated with an illusionary idea
Not reality
But not actuality
I could not tell you
I was unable to communicate to you
My real name
My authentic identity
It was lost in a haze
It got obscured in a state of confusion
With all those other days
Along with all the past occurrences
Well now
Well, at present
You need an operation
You require a surgical procedure
Some drugs, some blades, some knives
Certain medications, cutting instruments
To stitch you up just right
To mend and heal you perfectly
What would you do
How would you handle or cope
Without the connection
In the absence of the bond or link
We'll hook you back up to the Wire
We will reconnect you with the system
And feed you once again
And provide sustenance to you anew
Fantasy
Imagination or illusion
This is just fantasy
This is merely a product of imagination
But perfection in one side
However, flawlessness on only one aspect
Is reality
Is the truth or actuality
You were there
You were present
My guiding light
The source of my guidance
Leading me through this maze
Directing me through this complex situation
Of monotony
Characterized by tedious repetition
And I could not tell you
And I was unable to communicate to you
Just what was wrong
Precisely what the problem was
The words were lost in a shell
The words got obscured in a protective covering
Of my former self
Of my previous identity
And I could not tell you
And I was unable to communicate to you
The reason why I'm here
The cause for my presence in this situation
It's been totally erased
It has been completely wiped out
With the rest of me
Along with the remainder of who I am
And there is no beginning
And there is no starting point
Or no end to me
Or no conclusion to who I am
I could just break free
I have the potential to liberate myself
If you come to me
If you approach or seek me
