It's Not Over
Cold and Need Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to lay next to you
Now I lay by myself
The smoke cleared the window
And a silhouette of you appears
Like my every dream
Feelings of a bittersweet nostalgia
Holds onto my mind
So I cannot let you go

I remind myself it's all over
I remind myself I was never enough
Again I fell for your lies
Again I followed my heart
Only to be led to another dead end
All these feelings
I've let them build up
And now I don't know how to feel
Anymore...

There's no escape to these
Constant reminders
Of my mistakes
I took some pills and fell asleep
And in my sleep I dreamed of you
And you whispered to me
It's all over
I hope I never wake up again




It's all over...
It's all over...

Overall Meaning

In the song, "It's Not Over," Cold and Need sing about a situation where someone is mentioning the name of the singer's former flame all around town. This person is an old flame of the singer and is struggling to come to terms with the fact that the relationship is over. He believes that he is where the singer belongs and thinks that they should still be together. However, the singer reassures her current partner that she has not seen her former flame in a long time and that there is nothing going on between them.


The partner, however, is still concerned about the situation and considers taking the former flame aside to see if there is anything that the singer is hiding. He plans to make it clear to the former flame that he will not tolerate any interference in his relationship. Ultimately, he cannot walk away and leave it to chance because he believes that the former flame is still convinced that he and the singer belong together.


The song speaks to the insecurities that can arise in relationships when there are outside influences or past loves still hanging around. It highlights the importance of trust and communication between partners to overcome these challenges and maintain a healthy relationship.

As a black kid from the hood. I received this song on a psp demo disc 15 years ago and this turned me out to rock, metal,and alternative from that day forward.i grew up in the Milwaukee,WI professional symphony orchestra first chair bass, 12 years. Music is universal and thatā€™s my first love and my main outlet. I play 4 instruments, and do 4 genres of music, which I write and compose. I know it doesnā€™t matter on skin color, Iā€™m just saying, this song is the reason I fell in love with music out of the stereotype

I remember being homeless on drugs in my car and all alone just breaking down to this song crying my eyes out because I hated who I was . Today Iā€™m 7 years clean and boy does this song still hit me in my soul

Happy for you

Proud of you. This song has been helping me get through my recent suicide that was successful due to an overdose (doctors saved me) so this song goes out to my second chance at life
