Over and Over
Blackthorne Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well the moon was low when the search begin
For something new
So we took a ride to the other side
For a different view
And the deal was made in the midnight shade
Where the homeboys jam
So long ago like another life when it all began

And the moment I got on the track
I found out there's no turning back...

Over and over again
Feel it taking control
Over and over again
Ain't no way to say no

Time goes by when you're having fun
And the flight is smooth
But what goes up must come down
To face the truth
Well the water flows where no knows
When you're in a dream
And it gets so deep there's no one left
To hear you scream

Someone help me escape from my bliss
Cause I'm too weak to resist

Over and over again
Feel it taking control

Over and over again
Ain't no way to say no

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song 'Over and Over' by Blackthorne paints a picture of a search for something new. The singer takes a ride to the other side, for a different perspective. In the midnight shade, a deal is made where the homeboys jam, a nostalgic reference to an earlier time when it all began. The line 'And the moment I got on the track, I found out there's no turning back' indicates that the singer has made a decision that they cannot take back. The allusion to tracks here could imply a certain level of danger as well.

As the song progresses, the singer's experience is described in a metaphorical sense, 'Over and over again, feel it taking control. Over and over again, ain't no way to say no.' This could allude to a sense of addiction or indulgence to something they know is not necessarily good for them. The line 'Someone help me escape from my bliss/cause I'm too weak to resist' suggests that while they may be aware that they are unable to resist, they still yearn for an escape from their state of mind.

The song tells a story of someone trying to escape the monotony of life and embarking on a journey to find something new. The singer knowingly indulges in something that they know might not be good for them but is too weak to resist. The tune has a nostalgic feeling to it and is quite poignant, evoking a sense of longing for something.
