the seriousness behind being serious

if you want to be brave and be worth it you must perform. it's all about performance nowadays. take sports for instance: work hard, play ball and make sure you don't drop it. if you've dropped the ball, you'd better pray you have dropped it on yourself cause once the ball starts rolling there won't be anyone to put a stop to it. anyone other that yourself. i mean it. i'm as serious as a heart attack.and that is serious to say the least. i'm a sucker for notions' duality, but nothing compares to the duality of serious. i mean, how serious can one get? dead serious, pretty serious with capital P, as serious as a death sentence or maybe as serious as rain, as serious as sex if sex can be serious, bad joke serious or as serious as me when i'm being serious? serious can be good when expected, but don't get too serious orelse it can be fairly misinterpreted. and you don't want to be taken for a joke when in fact you were serious as well as a joke would suffer its most terrible ordeal if taken seriously and not enjoyed for what it is. just a joke. so where lays the border between dead and alive serious? it's borderline that's where it is. the dead serious i guess is linked to the highest amount of serious there could be. to my personal experience and rememberings i've been dead serious on 3 or 4 occasions all together and they were pretty close to death, so i won't go there anymore unless they make me. i like serious when it comes to life, i like alive serious. when the reasons are serious enough. you can't be serious! you, the all mocking, all ridiculing, all constantly fun making cunt wanna be taken seriously? not always. although i have tons of serious notes on my chords. i try to play them, but they must refuse to come out the way i intended them to. and i'm not to be taken serious, i suppose...all that's left for me to do is to get down. to business. to boogie and play it unsafely fun. ball dropping & rolling & all. 'cause after all, as the artist has put it: why so serious?
