Over You
Gabrielle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I knew that we would connect
Your eyes had told me that somehow
We shared a history
Feeling fearless I took a chance
Couldn't let the moment pass
I felt that fate had played a hand
And brought you here to me
But happiness can be short-lived
And pain can bring you to your knees
[Chorus:]
Don't think, that I'll get over you
Don't know, if I can make it through
My darkest days without you in my life and i
Don't think, that I can face the pain
I'll never see your face again
I close my eyes and wonder when
Will it ever end
Get as close as we could be
Felt that you could see through me
You read my mind you knew my life
Became a part of me
Took for granted precious time
Thought we had it on our side
By some cruel twist of fate
I had to watch you fade away
[Chorus]

Line by Line Meaning
From the moment that we met
Since the first time we crossed paths
I knew that we would connect
I felt a strong connection between us
Your eyes had told me that somehow
The expression in your eyes conveyed a certain message
We shared a history
I had a feeling that we had a history together
Feeling fearless I took a chance
I took a risk without fear
Couldn't let the moment pass
I felt that I had to seize the opportunity
I felt that fate had played a hand
I thought that destiny had intervened
And brought you here to me
And brought you into my life
But happiness can be short-lived
But good moments can be brief
And pain can bring you to your knees
And difficult times can make you feel hopeless
Don't think, that I'll get over you
I don't think I can forget you
Don't know, if I can make it through
I'm not sure I can survive
My darkest days without you in my life and i
My worst moments without you being present and
Don't think, that I can face the pain
I don't think I can endure the pain
I'll never see your face again
I'll never catch a glimpse of your face again
I close my eyes and wonder when
I shut my eyes and ponder about when
Will it ever end
Will this feeling ever subside
Get as close as we could be
We got as intimately close as we could
Felt that you could see through me
I had a sense that you could see right through me
You read my mind you knew my life
You were able to understand my thoughts and my past
Became a part of me
You became a significant part of me
Took for granted precious time
I failed to fully appreciate the valuable time we had
Thought we had it on our side
I believed that time was on our side
By some cruel twist of fate
By some unfortunate turn of events
I had to watch you fade away
I had to witness you slowly disappearing from my life
[Chorus]

on Tumbling Down
Tumbling Down is more about those countries that are in conflict with,like wars.
Gabrielle is telling us that all of us are the same,regardless of from what country we came from,whatever our racial origins were,whatever language we speak.
She was asking,the world leaders who were the masterminds of the chaos between nations,when to stop.Will they stop when it is already too late?When thousands of humanities were already lost by these senseless killings?When no one is left?
She begs to stop these wars between countries before it was too late to perceive.
She was asking if everyone have died,will they have felt that they eon the battle?
In conclusion,this song is all about the wars going on around 5he globe,like now in Israel and Palestine,etc.
Discovered this song last Oct.7,2023 ,when Hama's attacked Israel.
But,I'm Pro Palestine because Israel is taking revenge,Israel is unbecoming now as a country.With thousands of innocent Palestinian died with their bómbings,esp.children and women,I am not going to buy their alibis and being biased.
