Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know this can't go on
Because of you my mind is always racing
The needle's breaking your skin
The scar is sinking in
And now your trip begins, but
It's all over for
It's all over for
You, for you
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over for you
For you
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over for
I know what runs through your blood
You do this all in vain
Because of you my mind is always racing
And it gets under my skin
To see you giving in
And now your trip begins, but
It's all over for
It's all over for
You, for you
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over for you
For you
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over for
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
(It's all over)
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
(It's all over)
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over for you, for you
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
When you're on the edge and falling off
It's all over for you, for you
And now you're dead inside
Still you wonder why
It's all over for
The lyrics of Three Days Grace's song "It's All Over" address the destructive nature of addiction, specifically referencing drug use. The opening lines, "Your bottle's almost empty / You know this can't go on" suggest that the subject of the song is abusing drugs to the point of dangerous overuse. The following lines, "Because of you my mind is always racing / The needle's breaking your skin / The scar is sinking in / And now your trip begins" paint a vivid picture of the physical toll that drug use can take on the body. The chorus repeats the phrase, "It's all over for you" as a warning to the subject that their addiction will ultimately lead to their downfall.
The second verse reveals that the singer is intimately familiar with addiction, perhaps even struggling with it themselves. "I know what runs through your blood / You do this all in vain / Because of you my mind is always racing / And it gets under my skin / To see you giving in" suggests that the singer has been affected by the subject's addiction and is frustrated by their inability to stop using drugs. The final lines of the song, "And now you're dead inside / Still you wonder why / It's all over for you" offer a bleak reminder that addiction can lead to a complete loss of self.
