Building 429 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the memory of today running circles in my mind
The voice I can't foresee is, is whispering to me
Putting all my fears to rest
Yeah they put 'em all to rest
And then I realize that you're with me, yeah on my side
When I stand, when I fall
When the lines go off
You, you're singing over me, you're singing over me tonight
With all the stars that's in this midnight sky
And you, you're singing over me, you're singing over me tonight
And my heart is overcome with a song, with a song, yeah
And from the depths of my soul you are calling me
To the evidence of you and all your glory
From the hours of the night to the mountains majesty
Putting all my doubts to rest
Yeah, then I realize that you're always by my side
Yeah, and my words can dance to this beating chance
When I live and die, I'm always finding you
You're singing over me, you're singing over me tonight
With all the stars that's in this midnight sky
And you, you're singing over me, you're singing over me tonight
And my heart is overcome with a song, with a song, oh
You, you're singing over me, you're singing over me tonight
With all the stars that's in this midnight sky
And you, you're singing over me, you're singing over me tonight
And my heart is overcome with a song, with a song, yeah
I'm singing out loud
Yeah, I can hear it
Yeah, I'm singing out loud
The lyrics to Building 429's song Singing Over Me reveal a personal journey of struggling with fears, doubts, and uncertainties, and finding assurance and comfort in the presence of God. The song starts with the singer reflecting on a difficult day that keeps him awake at night. But then he hears a voice, the voice of God, whispering to him, calming his fears and putting them to rest. The singer realizes that God is always by his side, whether he stands or falls, whether the lines go off or not. The imagery of the stars in the midnight sky is used to convey the vastness and majesty of God's presence, and how it can encompass and comfort us in our darkest moments. The chorus repeats the main message of the song: God is singing over us, his love and care are constant, and our hearts can be overcome with a song of gratitude and joy.
The second verse is a more explicit declaration of the singer's faith and trust in God. He feels called by God from the depths of his soul, to acknowledge and praise God's glory and evidence. He mentions the mountains majesty, a reference to Psalm 121, which speaks of the hills as a reminder of God's unfailing help. The doubts that were plaguing the singer's mind are now put to rest, and he can dance and live to the beating chance of God's love. The bridge reinforces the singer's personal commitment to God, to sing out loud and listen to God's voice.
Overall, Singing Over Me is a heartfelt and uplifting song that speaks of the power of divine presence and the transformative effect it can have on our lives. The lyrics convey a sense of intimacy and vulnerability between the singer and God, and the gentle and peaceful tone of the music matches the mood of the lyrics.

I used to listen to this song pretty much every day but it's been a while since I last listened to it. Last week, my baby brother sent me some songs for me to remember the old days and when I listened to "Singing over me", I cried.
