It's over
David Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you keep on reaching, you don't know why
The road is long and I've been losing my way
The night is young, have you got nothing to say?
I remember back when we were young
They said the people's day would surely come
It's over now, if we run out of love
They said the people's day would surely come
It's over now, if we run out of love
Step into the light, give me a sign
'Cause you were a mountain I must climb
The road is long, I keep on losing my way
The night is young and you've got nothing to say
I remember back when we were young
They said the people's day would surely come
It's over now, if we run out of love
Just like the nights we sang a young man's song
They said the people's day would surely come
It's over now, if we run out of love
It's been so long since we were dressed to kill
You looked to me like a million dollar bill
Apparently it's alright, we've got time on our side
I see you walking with a friend of mine
Hey, pretty girl, don't you think he looks so fine?
Apparently it's alright, we've got time on our side
I remember back when we were young
They said the people's day would surely come
It's over now, if we run out of love
Just like the nights we sang a young man's song
They said the people's day would surely come
It's over now, if we run out of love
It's over now, it's over now, it's over now, it's over now
It's over now, if we run out of love
The lyrics of David Polanski's song "Talk It Out" appear to center around feelings of disillusionment and uncertainty about the future, particularly when it comes to relationships. The opening lines suggest a sense of confusion and aimlessness, as the singer notes that they have been "losing [their] way" on a long and difficult road. However, the chorus provides a glimmer of hope, suggesting that there may be some purpose in these struggles. The repeated line "They said the people's day would surely come / It's over now, if we run out of love" could be interpreted in a few ways - perhaps it's a reference to some past cultural or political movement that promised change but ultimately came to nothing, or maybe it's a more general statement about how important it is to keep fighting for what we believe in and stay connected to each other.
The second verse introduces some romantic tension, with a metaphor about climbing a mountain to reach someone. The line "you've got nothing to say" could be interpreted as either a sign of disinterest or shyness on the part of the person being addressed. The third verse adds another layer to this relationship, with the singer reminiscing about when they used to dress up and turn heads together. The final lines are perhaps the most ambiguous, with a repeated refrain of "it's over now, if we run out of love." Is this a fatalistic statement about the inevitable end of all relationships, or is it a warning to the listener to keep working to maintain their love?
Overall, the song seems to be about the difficulties of navigating complex emotions and relationships, and the importance of persevering even when things seem hopeless. The repeated "people's day" refrain might suggest that there is still hope for change and progress, even in tough times.
