It's On
Bullet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

After all this time
You still couldn't recognize
That your problem lies within
In a vicious circle

Can you tell me why
Why you've thrown it all away
'Cause it makes no sense to me
Why you wouldn't listen

I know it hurts
I tried to help to ease your pain
I know these words
They won't mean anything
I hope it hurts
You've only got yourself to blame
And I can't take this anymore
I'm over it
So over it

Watching you decline
What were you expecting
I can't save you from yourself
When you don't want saving

It's on your head
Don't point the finger point the blame
'Cause the warning signs were clear
You just wouldn't listen

I know it hurts
I tried to help to ease your pain
I know these words
They won't mean anything
I hope it hurts
You've only got yourself to blame
And I can't take this anymore
I'm over it
So over it

Breathe in, breathe out
I feel it coming round again
Breathe in, breathe out
Don't wanna ride your carousel
Breathe in, breathe out
Don't know how much more I can take
Breathe in, breathe out
Just stop 'cause I'm about to break

I know it hurts
I tried to help to ease your pain
I know these words
They won't mean anything
I hope it hurts
You've only got yourself to blame
And I can't take this anymore
(I'm over it)

I know it hurts
I tried to help to ease your pain
I know these words
They won't mean anything
I hope it hurts
You've only got yourself to blame
And I can't take this anymore, anymore
I'm over it
So over it
I'm over it




So over it
I'm over it

Overall Meaning

It seems like the singer has been trying to help someone overcome their pain, but their efforts have been in vain. Despite the warnings and guidance, the person seems to be determined to continue down a destructive path. The lines “Watching you decline, What were you expecting? I can’t save you from yourself, When you don’t want saving” clearly convey this sense of helplessness and frustration.


The lyrics of the song also showcase the singer’s resolve to move on and put an end to this toxic cycle. The lines “I’m over it, So over it” reflect their determination to break free and not let the other person’s problems weigh them down. The repeated lines towards the end of the song “Breathe in, breathe out” function as a reminder to take a step back and let go of the chaos and negativity that the other person brings into their life.


Overall, “Over It” is a powerful song that resonates with anyone who has been in a similar situation where they’ve seen someone close to them go down a destructive path and felt helpless to stop them. The lyrics showcase the complexity of human relationships and how they can be both rewarding and challenging at the same time.


Line by Line Meaning

After all this time
Despite the time that has passed,


You still couldn't recognize
You still couldn't see,


That your problem lies within
That the issue is internal,


In a vicious circle
In a cycle that repeats,


Can you tell me why
Can you explain to me,


Why you've thrown it all away
Why you've abandoned everything,


'Cause it makes no sense to me
Because I don't understand it,


Why you wouldn't listen
Why you refused to listen,


Watching you decline
Observing your downfall,


What were you expecting
What were you anticipating,


I can't save you from yourself
I can't rescue you from your own actions,


When you don't want saving
When you are unwilling to be saved,


It's on your head
You are responsible,


Don't point the finger point the blame
Don't point fingers, but instead accept the responsibility,


'Cause the warning signs were clear
Because the signs of trouble were evident,


You just wouldn't listen
You simply ignored them,


Breathe in, breathe out
Take a deep breath,


I feel it coming round again
I sense the issue returning,


Don't wanna ride your carousel
Don't want to be caught up in the same situation,


Don't know how much more I can take
I am unsure of how much more I can endure,


Just stop 'cause I'm about to break
Please stop, as I am close to breaking down,


And I can't take this anymore
And I can't handle this any longer,


I'm over it
I am finished with it,


So over it
So completely done with it,


I know it hurts
I understand that it causes pain,


I tried to help to ease your pain
I attempted to alleviate your suffering,


I hope it hurts
I hope you feel the consequences,


You've only got yourself to blame
You are solely responsible for this outcome,


These words won't mean anything
These words will not matter,


Anymore, anymore
No longer, no more,

Standing in the shadows
Hero of the story
Riding on a saddle
Chasing down the glory
Time to make your move
Do exactly what you do
It's a sure shot
It's yours to lose

It's the kinda luck that rains down
Once upon a lifetime
Can you hear the countdown?
Can you see the goal line?
Everything is lined up
Waiting for your moment
Time slows down

You don't stop a bullet when it's set into motion
You don't stop a fire when you light an explosion
So then why would we fight it?
Already ignited
Counting down, down, down, down

There's no putting lightning
Back into a bottle
Counting on a dark horse
Pulling on the throttle
Once you made your mind up
You're never going back
Time slows down

You don't stop a bullet when it's set into motion
You don't stop a fire when you light an explosion
So then why would we fight it?
Already ignited
Counting down, down, down, down

(Instrumental break)

Standing in the shadows

Chasing down the glory
Time to make your move
Do exactly what you
It's a sure shot
It's yours

You don't stop a bullet when it's set into motion
You don't stop a fire when you light an explosion
So then why would we fight it?
Already ignited
Counting down, down, down, down

You don't stop a bullet when it's set into motion
You don't stop a fire when you light an explosion
So then why would we fight it?
Already ignited
Counting down, down, down, down

Standing in the shadows, hero of the story
Riding on a saddle, chasing down the glory
Time to make you move, do exactly what you do
It's a sure shot, it's yours to lose

It's the kinda luck that rains down once upon a lifetime
Can you hear the count down, can you see the goal line?
Everything is lined up, waiting for your moment
Time slows down...

You don't stop a bullet when it's set into motion
You don't stop a fire when you light an explosion
So then why do we fight it? Already ignited
Counting down, down, down, down

There's no putting lightning, back into a bottle
Counting on a dark horse, pulling on the throttle
Once you made your mind up, you're never going back
Time slows down...

You don't stop a bullet when it's set into motion
You don't stop a fire when you light an explosion
So then why do we fight it? Already ignited

This is the type of song that makes you feel like the main character, but you're the villain.

Some Gal

Yes, that’s it exactly!

LegacyMuse

A Good Song Never Dies did the same thing, but in a totally different way.

1_Tako_1

I actually feel more like the villain's apprentice in this song.

Andor Radnai

I would argue it is an anti-Hero before atoning and fighting for good, but with his own set of skills and morals.
Hence: „you can’t undo your mistakes“ being sort of the theme of the song.

I never thought "power xylophone" would be a style I was really into, but here we are.

Pie

Power Xylophone is the 2nd most epic thing that can be in a song, only beaten by a Sax Solo.

Panic at the dm

@Pie have you heard of legrand?
