Description
The body jerks in time, as if choosing how to dance itself - and you can't ask why it's like that. Everything floats, dissolves, spins, while around you the sun seems to be chasing its own circles, and inside you just want to lean back and not worry about anything. The world may be drama and chaos, but there is a beauty in this chaos: to give in, relax, stop keeping up appearances.
Every beat seems to whisper: ‘Don't overdo it, stop complicating things.’ And indeed, if you just allow yourself to be a little more carefree, it immediately becomes easier to breathe. It's not about being carefree forever, but about taking a break where you can finally stop competing and just be. The music seems to lift a weight off your shoulders and reminds you that not everything is as serious as it seems.

Lyrics and translation
Original
My head, my hands
Moving in a way I can't decide
Don't act like that
Wasted when the water starts to rise
Don't be so serious
Don't be so serious
Don't be so serious
Don't be so, don't be so
My knees, my hips
Movin' in a circle 'round the sun
No lies, no tricks
How's everyone having so much fun?
Don't be so serious
Don't be so serious
Don't be so serious
Don't be so, don't be so
You know me best
Catch me when I'm putting on a face
I decompress
Run laps when I don't know how to
Race around like you do
Safe to say you're pullin' through it
I don't know how you do it
Rile me up and make me lose it
Don't be so serious
Don't be so serious
Don't be so serious
Don't be so, don't be so
Don't be so serious
Don't be so serious
Don't be so serious
Don't be so, don't be so
Don't be so serious
Don't be so serious
Don't be so serious
Don't be so, don't be so
Don't be so serious

Don't be so, don't be so
Don't be so serious
