Overrated
Detour 180 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On your shoulders
I reach for you
Before you go under again
This is overrated
So move me and spin me 'round
I am flying so low
She loves the radio
While he tunes out nice and slow
But they're all together, way too lonely
I stand and face you
Before it's over
You've felt so low
For so long
Caught in two minds
Closing down around you
Lost time, last time
I'd stop it all to find you
The lyrics to Detour 180's song Overrated are poignant and powerful, addressing themes of longing, isolation, and the search for connection. The opening lines "sick of the wait on your shoulders, I reach for you before you go under again" suggests a sense of desperation and frustration, as the singer yearns to connect with someone who is struggling and slipping away. The repetition of the phrase "overrated" underscores a sense of disillusionment - perhaps the singer has been let down before, or perhaps they are simply tired of the world they find themselves in. Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing for something deeper, more meaningful, and more authentic.

Sick of the wait
Tired of waiting for things to happen
On your shoulders
Feeling burdened by something
I reach for you
Trying to make a connection with someone
Before you go under again
Before you start feeling down again
This is overrated
This isn't worth as much as it seems
So move me and spin me 'round
Take me for a ride
I am flying so low
I am feeling down
She loves the radio
She finds comfort in music
While he tunes out nice and slow
He tunes out the world slowly
But they're all together, way too lonely
They are all together but still feel lonely
I stand and face you
I confront you
Before it's over
Before it's too late
You've felt so low
You have been feeling down
For so long
For a long time
Caught in two minds
Being pulled in different directions
Closing down around you
Feeling trapped
Lost time, last time
Time is running out
I'd stop it all to find you
I would do anything to help you
