Calvin Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know you play the victim every time
I know you gettin' turnt every night, oh yeah
Your girls ain't shit
Tryna get me off your mind
The same ones who be hittin' up my line
They're not your friends
We ain't ever gonna go back
This time, it got so bad
It's best for me, it's best for you
I need you to know that
Tried to love you, but I forced that
All signs, we ignored that
And it's not the same
'Cause it's over now, oh yeah
Don't get too confused, girl, it's over now
Oh yeah, uh
No comin' back around, baby
Nothin' left to lose, girl, it's over now
(Oh yeah, yeah)
So, I take this just to forget you
I don't regret those memories
And I swear I'm not tryna test
I wish you the best with the life you lead
But you always need that attention
Feedin' the press, but we don't speak
But we're both with somebody else
So please stop calling me
I need you to know that (oh girl)

In Calvin Harris's song "Over Now," the singer is addressing a former lover, emphasizing the need for closure while moving on from the past. The chorus line "it's over now" repeats to emphasize that the relationship has ended and there is no chance of reconciliation. The singer acknowledges the other person's tendency to play the victim and seeks to distance themselves from the drama by insisting that they can never go back to the way things were before.
The singer also criticizes the other person's behavior by mentioning their excessive partying and the fact that their friends are hitting on the singer. Meanwhile, the singer reminisces on their shared memories, but ultimately acknowledges their incompatibility and insists that they will both be better off apart. The other person is urged to stop trying to get the singer's attention, as they are both in other relationships now.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't really care if your tears fall down your face
Your crying doesn't affect me or change anything
You know you play the victim every time
You always act like the victim in every situation
I know you gettin' turnt every night, oh yeah
I know you're partying every night, having a good time
Your girls ain't shit
Your friends aren't loyal or trustworthy
Tryna get me off your mind
You're trying to forget about me
The same ones who be hittin' up my line
Your friends are contacting me behind your back
They're not your friends
Your friends are fake and disloyal
I need you to know that
I want you to understand
We ain't ever gonna go back
We're never getting back together
This time, it got so bad
Our relationship deteriorated rapidly
It's best for me, it's best for you
Breaking up is the best thing for both of us
Tried to love you, but I forced that
I tried to love you, but it wasn't natural or genuine
All signs, we ignored that
We ignored all the warning signs that our relationship wasn't working
And it's not the same
Things have changed and we can't go back to how they were before
'Cause it's over now, oh yeah
Our relationship is over, it's done
Don't get too confused, girl, it's over now
I don't want you to be confused, we're not getting back together
No comin' back around, baby
There's no chance of reconciliation
Nothin' left to lose, girl, it's over now
There's nothing left to salvage, our relationship is truly over
So, I take this just to forget you
I'm doing things to help me forget about you
I don't regret those memories
I don't regret the good times we had together
And I swear I'm not tryna test
I promise I'm not trying to mess with your emotions
I wish you the best with the life you lead
I genuinely want you to have a good life and be happy
But you always need that attention
You crave attention and validation from others
Feedin' the press, but we don't speak
You're giving the media information about yourself, but we're not talking
But we're both with somebody else
We've both moved on and are in new relationships
So please stop calling me
I don't want you to contact me anymore
Na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na
Repeating nonsense syllables for emphasis
Stop callin', stop callin'
I'm begging you to stop calling me
Ooh, oh girl
Addressing the girl he's addressing in the song

@@simeonbozmov145 MJ at the same age already sold the biggest album of all time, made the biggest live tour ever, changed the music industry with videos clips, changed dance, created the mediatic buzz, etc ! don't compare him with the Weeknd even though I love him. Abel is a variation of Michael, Michael was a gamechanger, the greatest solo artist ever ! The Weeknd is a better singer than most of the artists nowadays and I love his universe but he don't do MORE than the others, he's not a bareer pusher in any way, he's not a pioneer of something while Michael revolutionned everything he touched during all his career.
And sorry but even at more than 60 years old, I'm sure Michael, if he was still alive, would be more entertaining to see live than the Weeknd now in his prime, you clearly have no idea how much Michael was powerful, he was more protected than the US president and he was invited by world leaders to eat with them, no one was, is or will be more famous than Michael Jackson.
He's the artistic intersection of everybody nowadays, you can find his DNA everywhere if you see artists today, Michael's aura is even present in Asia, on the K-Pop scene, everybody is a variation of Michael Jackson, no one can touch the king. Even female artists are copying his style, just look at Beyoncé who is a pure copycat or Lady Gaga when she tries to be excentric. Michael Jackson alone changed the male singer archetype, there were crooners, rockers and then when Michael came, a new type emerged : the performer.
Michael Jackson changed how a male singer can be perceveid because he was the first person to understand how much aesthetics, visual experiences and mystery around your person can help to reach fame and notoriety. He changed the male musician evolution.
Before Michael there was a lot of bands musicians or bands, nowadays, thanks to the racial bareers he pushed, we can see a new alternative way to feel and express music with male solo performers like The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, Ne-Yo, etc.. but don't get me wrong, ALL of them are MJ wannabees in one way or another despite their talent.
Michael was a artistic genius, he wasn't a musician but he understood music better than them, he was a human beat that felt notes like no other, he was music ! That was all he knew during his entire lifetime.
