Over And Over
Chicago Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel the fall just fade away
As I think of the new friends in my life
And the ones who could not stay
You take my hand now
Oh, how your smile just warms my heart
The chill in the air, I don't mind at all
That's how easy love should start
All over the world, we're waiting
For the joy that the season brings
Every heartbeat happy
And in love, our voices sing
Such busy lives now
And though we yearn for simple things
Our friends and our families all around
That's the best this life can bring
All over the world, we're waiting
For the joy that the season brings
Every heartbeat happy
And in love, our voices sing
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Yes, in love, our voices sing
Maybe December helps us remember
What we are grateful for
The new year is close now, let's show all the world how
To love just a little more
All over the world, we're waiting
For the joy that the season brings
Every heartbeat happy
And in peace, our voices sing
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Peace and love, our voices sing
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Peace and love, our voices sing
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Peace and love, our voices sing
The lyrics to Chicago's "Over and Over" are a nostalgic look back at a summer of youth, passion, and carefree living, where they watched fireworks and fireflies on the roof, and made love with their eyes. The song describes the innocent and naive pleasures of young love, with little words and games, but also how fleeting and fleeting these moments can be. It is a celebration of the joys of youth, the memories that stay with us forever, and the realization that life is a never-ending circle, where we experience the same things over and over again.
The lyrics paint a picture of a time that has passed, where the boys and the girls were so confident and cocky that they felt invincible, and there was no way they could die. They cruised the midnight sky as fast as a shooting star, and their lives were filled with drama and puppy lovers. The chorus repeats the words "Over and over again" to emphasize the cyclical nature of life, how we experience the same things over and over, and how our memories and experiences shape who we are.
The song has a wistful and melancholic tone, with a hint of nostalgia and longing for a time that has passed. It is a reminder that life may be a circle, but we can choose how we experience it, and that the memories we make along the way will stay with us forever.
Line by Line Meaning
Fireworks,
Explosions of color lit up the sky,
Fireflys,
Insects flickering like stars in the dark,
On the roof watching summer night skies.
We sat on the top of a building staring at the warm, clear evening sky.
All the boys,
Every male person we knew,
All the girls,
Every female person we knew,
All the time making love with our eyes.
We never stopped flirting and gazing at each other.
Life just went on for us
We were so carefree and our days passed incredibly fast
Day after day
Every dawn to dusk was the same routine,
We could fly!- oh!
We felt like we could accomplish any feat without boundaries,
Cocky, so confident
We were overconfident and self-assured.
There was no way we could die.
We felt invincible, as if we were immortal.
[Chorus:]
Refrain section of the song.
Over, over and over again.
Life is repetitive and keeps repeating itself with no end in sight.
Life is a circle,
The cycle of life is constant and endlessly repeating.
But it's over and over again.
The actions and routines we undergo remain unchanged.
Little words,
Short, quiet conversations,
Little games,
Trivial games with no meaning,
The dramas we played, left behind.
The arguments and quarrels we had are no longer relevant and forgotten about.
Little friends,
Acquaintances we had with no deep connection,
Little names,
Nicks we gave ourselves with little significance,
Puppy lovers we had...(love was blind).
The ex-partners we had that we thought we loved, but looking back we realize it was foolish puppy love.
Screaming by!- oh!
Time seemed to pass by us so quickly without us noticing.
Fast as a shooting star
As swift and fleeting as a star falling from the sky.
Cruising the midnight sky!
We had a reckless and wild excursion through the dark, still skies of the nighttime.
[Chorus]
Refrain section of the song.

on Oh, Thank You Great Spirit
Great song and a fitting tribute to Jimi from his friend and fan Terry Kath, I've all ways believed the song was kind of a prospective of the dead, coming to the realization that they have crossed over and or no longer burden by all of life's problem's and pain's and are now free from all, and now overcome with gratitude to the Great Spirit , Greater of the universe and of life , GOD, that he is now free to fly the heavenly sky's , but ether way death or just a good night's sleep, great song.
