Over
Evans Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The next time you say that you love me
Fall on your knees, 'cause this time I won't be so kind
Can't you see that this is life and life is killing me
Is it yours? is it mine?
Our sky fell down tonight, to wash away our pain
Tell me, over and over and over and over and over again
It never was time for us, it never was time to let me in
Show me, over and over and over and over and over again
It never was time for us, it never was time to let me in
You better see how evil you can be
When you see my evil smile
It's the one that you'll remember when I am not so kind
Can't you see that this is death and death is saving me
I say burn all your bridges while you still have control of the flame
I know it's hard but you...
Tell me, over and over and over and over and over again
It never was time for us, it never was time to let me in
Show me, over and over and over and over and over again
It never was time for us, it never was time to let me in
You've hardened to the point
You're hard and to the point
Tell me, over and over and over and over and over again
It never was time for us, it never was time to let me in
(hardened to the point)
Show me, over and over and over and over and over again
(hard and to the point)
It never was time for us, it never was time to let me in
The lyrics to Evans Blue's song "Over" offer an intense and brooding reflection on a relationship. The first verse presents a demand for groveling humility from the singer's partner, suggesting that trust has been broken and forgiveness won't come easily. The second verse takes on a more threatening tone, with the singer revealing a sadistic pleasure in the thought of his partner's fear. The chorus repeats over and over that it was never the right time for their relationship and it was never time for the singer's partner to let him in.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of someone who is at war with themselves. The repeated allusions to life and death suggest that the singer is struggling with deeper questions of meaning and purpose. The imagery of burning bridges and a fallen sky also suggests a sense of finality, that something fundamental has been irrevocably broken.
Overall, "Over" is a haunting and intense meditation on the realities of relationships and the dark undercurrents that can sometimes come to the surface when love is tested.

Repeatedly reassure me
It never was time for us, it never was time to let me in
We were never meant to be together, or for me to be a part of your life

Continuously prove your love to me
You better see how evil you can be
You need to understand your full potential for maliciousness
When you see my evil smile
My wicked grin is a sign of when I am not showing kindness
It's the one that you'll remember when I am not so kind
This evil expression is what you'll remember whenever I'm not being nice
Can't you see that this is death and death is saving me
This situation is so bad, that I'm almost grateful for the salvation that death offers
I say burn all your bridges while you still have control of the flame
You should sever all ties before they do it to you
You've hardened to the point
You've become cold and unfeeling
You're hard and to the point
You're blunt and straightforward
