Lyrics: 

Take the line out of my head

Repeating itself since I woke up out of bed

Telling me all is either dying or dead

Oh no no no no

I’m hiding the thoughts you probably read on my face

Hiding the fact I feel a little out of place

Hide anymore, I’ll disappear with no trace

Oh no no no no

But I don’t wanna give you too much

Or let you know it’s shaking me up

I only really wanna tell you enough so you know

It’s nothing serious

I know there’s love in every word that you said

Telling me how I had some miles ahead

But when I look out, my feet are on the same ledge

Oh no no no no

And the only thing normal is it’s always so strange

Everyone walking in a million different ways

Where they go, you know I really can’t say

Oh no no no no

But I don’t wanna tell you too much

Or let you know it’s shaking me up

I only wanted to be honest enough so you know

It’s nothing serious

And I’m thinking myself into circles

Even though it doesn’t change a thing

I can’t keep on digging myself into a hole

And I don’t wanna tell you too much

Or let you think it’s shaking me up

I only wanted to be honest enough so you know

It’s nothing serious

About Nothing Serious:

Soaked with the feeling that you’ll never be able to crawl out of the uncomfortable space you’re in, you’ve been there so long that you forget what not being there even feels like. Your brain tells you that you can move in any direction, but your feelings tell you there’s a cliff on all sides. Embarrassed about feeling so paralyzed. Accustomed to feeling isolated. You tell your friends not to worry, it’s nothing serious.  – Tim Perry

 

A bouncy summer jam that questions how real you can be in the context of a summer jam. I worked to give it a boom-box-y sonic quality. It didn't feel right to have it be terribly hi-fi. – Rob Oberdorfer
