Music Monday: Head Held High by SERA

Music Monday is a meme that was created by Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek. Bjørn and I will pick a song alternatively on each Monday and share our thoughts about them. Timy’s pick this week is Head Held High by SERA.

This song had been sitting on my playlist for a while, but it recently got my attention again. I like its “fuck you, I’ll do what I want” vibes. This is the last week before madness descends on us at work, so I’ll live by this while I can, lol. Plus, I really can relate to the lyrics on many levels. I guess we all had people stabbing us in the back, times when we felt motivated to go on stronger than before, with head held high.

Poured my heart into a crowd
Didn’t lift me up, just pulled me down
Now I’m dancin’ on my own (Mm-mm)
Fingertips are gettin’ numb
Overthinkin’ everything I’ve done
No more numbers in my phone

Oh, I used to think that they were right
On my side they wouldn’t lie
So done with that
D-done with that
Talkin’ shit behind my back
Build a castle made of glass
So done with that
(D-done with that)

I’m a fire burnin’ on
I do what the hell I want
Middle finger to the sky
With my head held high
I am fearless, I am strong
Watch me rise along the dawn
Ain’t no stoppin’ me this time
Got my head held high

I was born to be alive
No more cryin’ here tonight
I will never be this young (Mm)
Kill the darkness in my mind
Grind the blade and raise the knife
‘Cause I’ve only just begun

Oh, I used to think that they were right
On my side they wouldn’t lie
So done with that
D-done with that
Talkin’ shit behind my back
Build a castle made of glass
So done with that
(D-done with that)

I’m a fire burnin’ on
I do what the hell I want
Middle finger to the sky
With my head held high
I am fearless, I am strong
Watch me rise along the dawn
Ain’t no stoppin’ me this time
Got my head held high

Used to think that they were right
On my side they wouldn’t lie
(I’m done with that)
(I’m done with that) Oh, yeah, I’m

I’m a fire burnin’ on
I do what the hell I want
Middle finger to the sky
With my head held high
I am fearless, I am strong
Watch me rise along the dawn
Ain’t no stoppin’ me this time
Got my head-
I’m a fire burnin’ on
I do what the hell I want
Middle finger to the sky
With my head held high
I am fearless, I am strong
Watch me rise along the dawn
Ain’t no stoppin’ me this time
Got my head held high
