Don’t Be So Serious Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake
Heavy pulse
Bloody eyes
Sweaty clothes

New routine
That I’ve learned
To understand and know


Play my tricks
Fragile mind
Rest your head
On me
Shut my eyes
I’m not here
There must be some mistake


[Chorus]
Don’t be so serious
Don’t be so serious
Don’t be so serious
Don’t be so serious

[Verse 2]
Watch your words
Turn to dust
As we forget
As we move on
Still
I refuse
To let you slip away

[Chorus]
Don’t be so serious
Don’t be so serious
Don’t be so serious
Don’t be so serious
Don’t be so serious
Don’t be so serious
Don’t be so serious
Don’t be so serious

[Outro]
Agnes

Genius Annotation

The introductory track to Low Roar’s third studio album brilliantly sets the tone for Once in a Long, Long While. While Low Roar is known for singer, Ryan Karazija’s melancholic and deeply personal lyrics, “Don’t Be So Serious” is very tongue-in-cheek; suggesting that the listener lower their guard- creating an atmosphere of vulnerability that defines the record.
