Not Over
Bag Raiders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well thats how my heart is for you
You keep yours guarded like a palace hiding all its jewels
Thats just how hard it is for you
You found somebody yeah ok well I found somebody too
No need to put on such a show
If we should fight it out Im sure we'll take it to the other
No one should ever have to know
Its not over til its over
Oh no but we'll try
To make it right for just one night
We tried
Its seemed a good idea the first time that we had each other
Why don't we just leave it at that
I know that nothing lasts forever this could change any minute
And we might never change it back
We keep on running til tomorrow closer to the future
Sometimes it seems so far away
I stared at pictures from a faded to a weaker image
You're pushing on Im pushing play
Its not over til its over
Oh no but we'll try
To make it right for just one night
We tried
Its not over til its over
Oh no but we'll try
To make it right for just one night
We tried
The lyrics of Bag Raiders's song Not Over speak about a complicated relationship between two individuals who cannot seem to let go of each other despite the challenges they faced. The first verses speak about how one of the individuals, who is most probably the singer, is still holding on to his/her feelings for the other person. The individual is so deeply in love that he/she feels that his/her heart is cut out of paper and bottled up emotionally. On the other hand, the other party keeps their emotions guarded and hidden, almost as if trying to protect themselves from getting hurt or avoid hurting others. Therefore, the individual understands that it is not easy for the other person to express his/her emotions due to the fear of getting hurt.
As the song progresses, the lyrics reflect that both parties have found someone new in their lives but continue to hold on to each other, unwilling to let go. The lyrics describe how they could fight it out but would keep their relationship a secret to avoid hurting their present partners. They could keep running, but the future always seems so far away.
The chorus repeats that the relationship is not over yet and that they would try to make it right for just one night, signifying that they would still have moments of connection despite their present relationships. The lyrics show the singer's willingness to hold on to the relationship despite its difficulties, even though he/she knows that nothing lasts forever.

Cut like a picture from a paper safely tucked away
My heart is separated from me and protected like a valuable item
You keep yours guarded like a palace hiding all its jewels
You also keep your heart protected like a precious stone in a fortress
Thats just how hard it is for you
It's challenging for you to open up your feelings
You found somebody yeah ok well I found somebody too
You have moved on, but so have I
No need to put on such a show
There's no point in pretending everything is okay between us
If we should fight it out Im sure we'll take it to the other
If we quarrel, we'll keep our issues private and not involve anyone else
No one should ever have to know
Our disagreements are our own and there's no sense in telling others
Its seemed a good idea the first time that we had each other
Initially, our relationship appeared to be an excellent plan
Why don't we just leave it at that
We should just stop here and let it be
I know that nothing lasts forever this could change any minute
I am aware that nothing is permanent and our circumstances may change unexpectedly
And we might never change it back
We could never manage to rebuild what we had before
We keep on running til tomorrow closer to the future
We keep on attempting to move ahead until we arrive at the forthcoming events
Sometimes it seems so far away
Occasionally it appears like it takes a long time to reach our destination
I stared at pictures from a faded to a weaker image
I reminisce about the past, and how it declines with time
You're pushing on Im pushing play
You're moving on, while I prefer to remain in the state of reminiscing
Its not over til its over
We shouldn't give up just yet
Oh no but we'll try
We'll do everything we can to persist
To make it right for just one night
We'll attempt to restore things just for tonight
We tried
Our effort to fix things was unsuccessful
