Until It's Over
House Of Fools Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She sits and she waits for the one
That she loves to come for her
To take her out, get her out of that house
Where her demons lie down before her
I heard that she says
She's better off dead than with someone else
Everyday
In the morning he waits up
To find his way to forget her
Too worried to rhyme, too fucked up to fight
Too afraid what's to come in the future
Despite what she says
He's there every single chance he gets
And he doesn't
No, he doesn't wanna be like them
And it's so hard for them to see each other now
That it's all said and done
You never know how much you love a person
Until that day they're gone
But it's not over 'til it's over
Over 'til it's over
Hey, hey, hey
The lyrics of House of Fools's song "Until It's Over" is a powerful depiction of two people stuck in a toxic relationship. The song talks about a woman who is waiting for her lover to rescue her from her own demons. She is so consumed by the emotional turmoil that she is convinced that she is better off dead than loving someone else. Yet, in her hopelessness, she clings to her lover, believing that there is no greater love than the one that he provides.
On the other end of the spectrum is the man who loves and cares for her. He is torn between longing to be with her and overcoming his demons. He wakes up every morning, trying to forget her but finds himself drawn back to her, unable to imagine a future without her. Despite her unrequited passion, he remains by her side, willing to fight for her even if it means he has to go against the norm.
The chorus of the song highlights the pain of separation and the fear of losing someone that you love. It talks about how hard it is to see each other when everything is said and done. The final line of the chorus resonates with the theme of the song; that it's not over until it's over. The lyrics speak to the fragile nature of relationships and how we often take the love of those around us for granted, not realizing its value until it's too late.
Line by Line Meaning
Everyday
Each and every day
She sits and she waits for the one
She remains seated, waiting for her beloved
That she loves to come for her
The one she loves to arrive and fetch her
To take her out, get her out of that house
To free her from the confinement of her demons' dwelling
Where her demons lie down before her
The place where her inner demons hound her mind
I heard that she says
It's been told that she expresses
She's better off dead than with someone else
She believes that death is preferable over another partner
And she'll find, yeah, she'll find no greater love
She thinks she'll never encounter a love of greater intensity
Everyday
On a daily basis
In the morning he waits up
He remains awake in the morning
To find his way to forget her
To devise a method to remove her from his head
Too worried to rhyme, too fucked up to fight
He's anxious to compose verses, too disorganized to battle
Too afraid what's to come in the future
Too hesitant of the outcome of things to come
Despite what she says
Regardless of her words
He's there every single chance he gets
He appears every single opportunity he gets
And he doesn't
And he refuses
No, he doesn't wanna be like them
No, he doesn't want to Inherit their characteristics
And it's so hard for them to see each other now
Presently, it's arduous for them to come across each other
That it's all said and done
Now that everything is completed and settled
You never know how much you love a person
You can't tell how deep your affection for someone is
Until that day they're gone
Up until the point they depart this world
But it's not over 'til it's over
The end's not near until it actually happens
Over 'til it's over
It's done when it's done
Hey, hey, hey
Informal expression to call someone's attention
