Overture
Gabbeats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To leave you and go sleep
I wanna go in peace
But things don't work that easy
My heart is telling me to
Leave you and go sleep
I wanna go in peace,
But things don't work that easy
No need to keep it on the low my friend
Keep it on the low my friend friend
No need to leave me in the cold again
Leave me in the cold my friend friend
No matter what they say
Won't go back to the day
Two hearts at play
Let's take the course of the brave
No need to keep it on the low my friend
Keep it on the low my friend friend
No need to leave me in the cold again
Leave me in the cold my friend friend
No matter what they say
Won't go back to the day
Two hearts at play
Let's take the course of the brave
No matter what they say
Won't go back to the day
Two hearts at play
Let's take the course of the brave
They said they'll call me in September
Now it's December
Thinking what'd I ever do to curve
They cut me so deep the hurt
If only I had the nerve
Crippled by the fear that came I
Couldn't even ask for your last name
Boggled by the shame and pain
Clearly, it was all in vain
Don't be surprised if next time I'm gone
Can't hide with lies, my life not your own
You say you sympathize but despise my tone
The weight of the world unfurled on this song
How I dream about the day
My love will be on display
Disgrace will be erased
If only I could see your face
Something for you to move to
Something for you to groove to
Something for you to move to
Don't leave me in the cold
It's getting old
Everybody needs someone to hold
In Gabbeats's song Overture, the lyrics express the internal struggle of a person who wants to leave their significant other but finds it hard to do so. The heart is telling the person to leave and go to sleep, but things aren't that simple. The repeated line "No need to keep it on the low my friend, no need to leave me in the cold again" implies that the person has been hurt before and is encouraging their partner to be honest with them. The line "Let's take the course of the brave" shows that the singer is willing to take a risk and move forward with their relationship, despite the fear and pain they have experienced in the past.
The verse "They said they'll call me in September, now it's December" suggests a situation where the singer is waiting for a call or some form of communication from their partner that never came. This lack of communication has caused them deep hurt and has left them feeling ashamed and afraid to express their feelings. The chorus then repeats, emphasizing that the person wants to be held and to not be left in the cold.
Overall, the song touches on themes of fear, pain, and honesty in relationships.

Wondering how I could have avoided the pain
They cut me so deep the hurt
They hurt me badly
If only I had the nerve
If only I were brave enough
Crippled by the fear that came I
Overwhelmed by the fear that overcame me
Couldn't even ask for your last name
I was incapable of even asking for your surname
Boggled by the shame and pain
Confused and pained by the situation
Clearly, it was all in vain
Clearly, nothing came of it
Don't be surprised if next time I'm gone
Don't be taken aback if I'm absent next time
Can't hide with lies, my life not your own
I can't conceal the truth with falsehoods, my life is not yours to control
You say you sympathize but despise my tone
You claim to understand my perspective but dislike the way I sound
The weight of the world unfurled on this song
The weight of the world is expressed in this song
How I dream about the day
I often fantasize about the days
My love will be on display
When my affection can be publically shown
Disgrace will be erased
My humiliation will be forgotten
If only I could see your face
If only I could catch a glimpse of your visage
Something for you to move to
A melody for you to dance to
Something for you to groove to
A rhythm for you to enjoy
Don't leave me in the cold
Please don't abandon me
It's getting old
This behavior is becoming tiresome
Everybody needs someone to hold
Everybody requires someone to embrace
