Over My Head
Echosmith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Over my head, over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head, over my head

There's always static on TV in this hotel room
Reminds me of all the things you think I don't understand
It seems like you and me, we keep losing connection
Whenever you talk to me, it doesn't make any sense
Don't know what you meant, it's always over my head
Yeah, over my head
Yeah, it's so

Over my head, over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Is it too late, too far gone to fix this
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Over my head
Over my head

You take the simplest thing and always complicate it
Talking in circles, got me dizzy like a merry go round
It shouldn't be so hard to have a conversation
I'm sick of fighting with your ego, I wish you would admit

But I don't understand, it's always over my head
Yeah, over my head
Yeah, it's so

Over my head, over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Is it too late, too far gone to fix this
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Over my head
Over my head

So tell me, tell me
Tell me all the things that you are thinking, thinking
Tell me what it is that I am missing, missing
Don't want this to slip right through our hands
Don't want this to go
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Is it too late, too far gone to fix this
Over my head, over my head, over my head

Over my head, over my head, over my head
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Is it too late, too far gone to fix this
Over my head, over my head, over my head
Oh, over my head




Over my head
Oh, over my head

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Echosmith's song "Over My Head" seem to center around a relationship that is strained and difficult to communicate in. The repetition of "over my head" throughout the chorus expresses the singer's frustration and confusion with her partner's words and actions. She feels like there is always static on the TV in her hotel room, which reminds her of all the things her partner thinks she doesn't understand. This suggests that her partner doesn't believe she is capable of comprehending their problems, which further complicates things.


The second verse highlights the circular conversations that they have and the frustration that this causes. The singer is tired of fighting with her partner's ego and wishes that they could admit their faults. Despite their difficulties, the singer clearly still cares for her partner and seems to want to fix things. This is expressed in the bridge where she pleads with her partner to tell her everything they are thinking and feeling, and not let the relationship slip away.


Overall, "Over My Head" is a melancholic song about the difficulties of communication and understanding in a relationship, and the desperation to fix things before it's too late.
