Seriocity Lyrics

I used to be so sure
I used to be so certain
Now it's gone
Always needing more
Bleating out excuses
I have none, no

Cast reflections on the water
Now that the deed is done
We'll wait
And watch the ripples fade away
Hearts are breaking
Someone's daughter joins with someone's son
It goes on and on again
On and on again
We'll watch the ripples run

I used to be so sure
I used to be so certain
How could I be so wrong
Always needing more
At last the chains are breaking
Watch me now
Watch me run

Over fields and past the houses
Like a bullet from the gun
Watch the figure fade away
Hearts are breaking
Someone's daughter
Joins with someone's son
All alone again
All alone again
Watch the ripples run

Over fields and past the houses
Watch the rabbit run

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It seems like this song is about someone who was, for whatever reason, being held back from everyday life. And now that he's finally free, he learns that life really isn't what he thought it was going to be.

beautiful song.
