It's Not Over -
Daughtry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It all seemed to make sense
You've taken away everything
And I can't do without, I try to see the good in life
But good things in life are hard to find
Blow it away, blow it away
Can we make this something good?
Well, I tried to do it right this time around
Let's start over, I tried to do it right this time around, it's not over
There's a part of me that's dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one, it's not over
Taken all I could take, and I can not wait
We're wasting too much time
Being strong, holding on
Can't let it bring us down
My life with you means everything
So I won't give up that easily
Blow it away, blow it away
Can we make this something good?
'Cause it's all misunderstood
Well, I tried to do it right this time around
Let's start over, I tried to do it right this time around
It's not over, 'cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one, it's not over
We can't let this get away
Let it out, let it out
Don't get caught up in yourself, let it out
Let's start over
I tried to do it right this time around, it's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me, but you're the only one
It's not over, let's start over
It's not over, oh yeah, yeah!
This love is killing me, but you're the only one, it's not over
The lyrics to Daughtry's song "It's Not Over" describe a relationship that has been through a lot of hardship but isn't quite finished yet. The singer acknowledges that their partner has taken away everything from them and they struggle to find the good in life, but they won't give up on their love so easily. The chorus emphasizes the desire to turn things around and make the relationship work, despite the misunderstandings and dead parts of themselves.
The first verse sets up the theme of the song by emphasizing how the singer is blown away by the situation they find themselves in with their partner. They had hoped to see the good in life, but things are tough. The phrase "blow it away" in the chorus could be interpreted as a desire to blow away the bad things and start again. The second verse emphasizes the idea that the singer has tried to do things right in the past but is willing to start fresh and try again. The repetition of "it's not over" emphasizes the idea that while there may be parts of the relationship that are dead and buried, there's still a chance to make things work.
Overall, "It's Not Over" is an anthem about perseverance in love. Despite the difficulties and misunderstandings, the singer is willing to throw everything they have into saving their relationship.

As a black man who donโt even listen to this genre I was surprised how many of his songs I actually knew lol great artist
@hailtothejew9446
...most respect, but what does your skin colour have to do with it bruv? You got an ear for music, good music at that. You're a human being with a love for some good tunes, and that makes you awesome, no descriptors needed
@onfireproductions4225
It's a compliment. Nothing wrong with what he said. It's a demographic. Labels, business, marketing, zoning, media, society, colonists all use demographics. It is what it is. So yes, it's a compliment that he likes this song. A soulful, meaningful song coming from a different culture.
A true lover of music is not going to have barriers. That's a beautiful thing.
@hailtothejew9446
@@onfireproductions4225 Not a bad take at all....but why are you trying to speak for him?
@egg64
Same homie, but good music is good music
@RockDavid
@@hailtothejew9446 maybe you miss the concept of what he said, dont' confuse his "As a black man" with the typical PC everything is racist. I grew up in Asian and Black areas, the music we are exposed to is NOTHING in these genes at all.
This guy's song list of hits is amazing though, i was rather surprised to on how many of his songs i knew
