I'm running low on serotonin Chemical imbalance got me twisting things Stabilize with medicine Serotonin is a chemical in the body that regulates mood. It is believed to be a contributor to well-being and happiness; if one's brain does not produce enough serotonin, it leads to depression. Here, Marie Ulven (aka Girl in Red) paints a picture of her struggles with mental health.
During the song, Ulven details her demons, which include intrusive thoughts where she considers self-harm and even suicide. I get intrusive thoughts like cutting my hands off Like jumping in front of a bus Like how do I make this stop Ulvin explained to the BBC that she's had intrusive thoughts since her early teens, "Thinking I'm going to jump out of a window, thinking I'm going to jump in front of the train. It's really intense and you feel like you have to fight with yourself like to not do it."
The Norwegian songstress penned "Serotonin" after starting therapy in 2020. She said the analysis has helped her understand her impulsive thoughts and get them "out of my system."
