Writer/producer/DJ, Tommy (Jay-Z, Kanye West, Kylie Minogue, KT Tunstall) and artist Jamie (of Jamie Scott & The Town who toured with Alicia Keys and Kelly Clarkson previously) made a collection of songs that was later called “Stare In To The Sun.” The title track was chosen to soundtrack a TV ad campaign for The Sun newspaper. Sony ATV publishing submitted the song to The Sun newspaper and they used it for the advertising campaign. The exposure they got from the campaign encouraged Jamie and Tommy to write and record even more music, including “Annie You Save Me,” “Free” and “Stone In My Heart.”
The band decided to put out their own music on their own label. EP “Stone In My Heart”, was released in March 2010, Single 'Annie You Save Me in July 2010. Band was named New Band Of The Day at The Guardian Newspaper (UK) and an Artist to Watch at LP33.
Graffiti6 has also had their songs featured on television shows such as Grey's Anatomy, Covert Affairs, CSI: New York and Teen Wolf.
Over You
Graffiti6 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No need to fight no more
'Cause I have been wondering darling
We should just stop this war
But it’s alright
Nothing lasts forever baby
It’s alright
'Cause I’m over you
This time is the last time
I’m over you
I can change
Said I am over love
This time is the last time
Always my love
No need for arguments
Just walk through the door baby
Sometimes I don’t know what we’re talking about
You lose yourself I lose myself baby
But its alright
Nothing lasts forever baby
Its alright
Now I can dance
'Cause I’m over you
This time is the last time
I’m over you
I can change
Said I am over love
This time is the last time
Always always
And maybe yeah it took a long time
When you’re running away from truths you can’t find
Maybe yeah it was a hard time
When love had gone
Now I’m over you
This time is the last time
I’m over you
I can change
Said I am over love
This time is the last time
Always always
Now I’m over you
This time is the last time
I’m over you
I can change
Said I am over love
This time is the last time
Always mmm
The lyrics of Graffiti6’s ‘Over You’ depicts the end of a tumultuous relationship. The beginning lines of the verse “Lay down your armor baby, no need to fight no more” suggest an exhausted plea for the couple to stop fighting, to let their guard down and be vulnerable. The singer then suggests that "It’s alright, nothing lasts forever baby, It’s alright, now I can dance" indicating that the relationship has come to an end, but it's okay. The artist declares to be “over you” and that this time is the last time, hence indicating that the relationship is over and there is no going back. The chorus "I am over love, always my love" is an admission that the relationship is not the only thing that they are over, but love, in general, hence indicating that the breakup has caused disillusionment and loss of faith in love.
The second verse further throws light on the toxic state of the relationship, implying that arguments are entirely unproductive, and they do not even understand the point they are trying to put across. The line “You lose yourself I lose myself baby” suggests that both parties in the relationship have lost their individuality in the process of trying to make the relationship work. The bridge “And maybe yeah it took a long time when you're running away from truths you can’t find, Maybe yeah it was a hard time when love had gone” accentuates the pain and the difficulty that came with the end of the relationship but declares that the singer has moved on and grown stronger.
Overall, the song's message is of moving on and personal growth. The lyrics illustrate that sometimes it's hard to leave what's comfortable, but it's necessary for growth and development. The singer portrays a sense of evolution and transcendence that comes with overcoming the struggles of heartbreak.

Lay down your armor baby
Let go of your defenses, stop fighting
No need to fight no more
There’s no reason for us to argue
'Cause I have been wondering darling
I’ve been thinking, my dear
We should just stop this war
We should try to put an end to this battle between us
But it's alright
It's going to be okay
Nothing lasts forever baby
Things inevitably come to an end
It's alright
There’s no need to worry
Now I can dance
I’m free to enjoy myself
'Cause I'm over you
I’ve moved on from you
This time is the last time
I’m done with this relationship for good
I can change
I’m capable of improving myself
Said I am over love
I’m done with romance
Always my love
My affection will never fade
No need for arguments
We shouldn’t argue
Just walk through the door baby
Come in, let's talk
Sometimes I don’t know what we’re talking about
Our conversations don't always make sense to me
You lose yourself I lose myself baby
We get so caught up in our arguments that we lose who we really are
And maybe yeah it took a long time
It may have taken us a while
When you’re running away from truths you can’t find
When you're avoiding things you don't want to face
Maybe yeah it was a hard time
It may have been tough
When love had gone
When our love had disappeared
Always always
My love is constant
Now I’m over you
I no longer have feelings for you
This time is the last time
This is the end for us
Mmm

Sometimes letting go is the hardest thing to do, but when it has to be done, it has to be done! Especially when that person continues to let you down, lie and make you feel like there's absolutely no reason to continue...

I've been looking for a pre-recorded version of this song since I heard it on the finale of Single Ladies. Thank you for uploading. This song gives you strength to do what NEEDS to be done as opposed to what you WANT to do.
Tara Hollis
Nice song. Especially for someone who just broke up with the one they needed to let go.
