Overstepping
Belmont Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clear the air let me talk instead.
Quit twisting the strings that you stitched in my back.
Take off your shoes while you roam in my head
Selfish enough to leave a mess instead.
You're wasting, your time here.
My mind's made, don't intrude on my space.
To try and feel something.
Pace the floor again
Thinking back to when we began.
I'm just not ready
I'm just not ready, to go
With nothing to show
Break the knot we tied strong.
All the time we spent wrong.
Always speaking with tongue, in cheek.
My interest in you's bleak.
You're wasting, your time here.
My mind's made, don't intrude on my space.
I'm pulling all my teeth,
To try and feel something.
The song "Overstepping" by Belmont is a reflection on a toxic relationship that has come to an end. The opening lines, "Hundreds of things, I've never said, Clear the air let me talk instead" suggest that the singer has been holding back their thoughts and feelings up until now. The line "Quit twisting the strings that you stitched in my back" implies that the other person has been controlling and manipulative in the relationship. The singer is asking for a chance to express themselves without interference.
The chorus of the song contains the lines "You're wasting, your time here. My mind's made, don't intrude on my space. I'm pulling all my teeth, To try and feel something." These lines show that the relationship has left the singer feeling emotionally drained and unable to feel anything. They are asking the other person to leave them alone in order to heal themselves. The line "I'm pulling all my teeth" is a metaphor for how difficult it is to feel something after being hurt so deeply.
The second verse, "Pace the floor again, Thinking back to when we began. I'm just not ready, I'm just not ready, to go, With nothing to show" shows that the singer is reflecting on the beginning of the relationship and how it has now failed. They feel like they have nothing to show for the time they spent with the other person. The lines "Break the knot we tied strong. All the time we spent wrong. Always speaking with tongue, in cheek. My interest in you's bleak" suggest that the relationship was built on a false foundation and that the singer's interest in the other person has faded away.
Overall, "Overstepping" is a somber, introspective song that explores the aftermath of a failed relationship. It shows the emotional toll that toxic relationships can have and the difficulty of moving on from them.

Idiot Savant looks like you you’ve never been to a Belmont show. The drummer sounds exactly the same live. He is extremely talented. He is like a robot not a human .
@viromichael2753
Danny Walsh he talked about sound engineering in the record (mixing and mastering), not in the show
