Think it Over
Hippo Campus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you've got time to think it through
it's a circumstantial outcry, it's a failure to pursue
it's a sentimental mindset, it's a thoughtless way to love
it's a blossom in midwinter, it's a poor man's cure for touch
so far in you could feel it
you've got time to think it over
you've got time to think it through
it's a circumstantial outcry, it's a failure to pursue
you've got time to think it over
you've got time to think it through
it's a circumstantial outcry, it's a failure to pursue
it's a sentimental mindset, it's a thoughtless way to love
it's a blossom in midwinter, it's a poor man's cure for touch
you've got time to think it over
In the song "Think it Over" by Hippo Campus, the lyrics depict an individual who is experiencing a conflict within themselves about their perceived romantic situation. The repeated phrase, "you've got time to think it over, you've got time to think it through," highlights the idea that this person is not sure what to do and needs space to reflect on their emotions.
The lyrics also suggest a sense of regret and self-blame for the person's inability to pursue their feelings. The lines "it's a circumstantial outcry, it's a failure to pursue" imply that external circumstances or personal shortcomings are preventing them from acting on their desires.
The use of natural imagery, such as "blossom in midwinter," adds another layer of complexity to the song's meaning. The singer's internal struggle is equivalent to the blossoming of flowers during an otherwise barren time of year, indicating that these feelings are unexpected and perhaps unexplained.
Overall, "Think it Over" is a thought-provoking and introspective song about the complexities of love and self-discovery.
