The guys soon recorded a self-financed LP entitled "Day-Glo" which was followed, in the fall of 1999, by their self-titled second indie-album.
They then decided to tour the United States with stops in Phoenix, Los Angeles and Las Vegas; two and a half years later the band issued a third album, "Larger Than Life".
In the summer of 2003 3 Doors Down's guitarist Chris Henderson invited Love.45 to Seattle to record a demo-EP which eventually landed them a deal with Rock Ridge Music who released in November 2004 an album, again self-titled, which included the single "Way Down".
Over My Head
Love.45 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me am I breaking through the static
Tell me are you feeling me
Trying hard to get free
Hanging from the edge of every moment
Not so far down if I let go now
It's too late to choose
Hey yeah, it's amazing
How I get over my head, over my head
Hey yeah, it's amazing
How I get over my head, over my head
Tell me can you hear me
Somewhere in the back of your mind
Can you save me tonight
Tell me that it's okay, say anything
I promise I'll believe you 'cause I need this lie
So just stay tonight
It's too late to choose
To turn around now
Hey yeah, it's amazing
How I get over my head, over my head
Hey yeah, it's amazing
How I get over my head, over my head
Tell me are you feeling me
Tell me are you somewhere out there tonight
Hey yeah, it's amazing
How I get over my head, over my head
Hey yeah, it's amazing
How I get over my head, over my head
The song "Over My Head" by Love.45 is a lament about feeling disconnected and unseen in a relationship. The singer is pleading with their partner to acknowledge their existence, to let them know they are being heard and seen. The opening lines "Tell me can you see me / Tell me am I breaking through the static" symbolize the singer's frustration at feeling like they are not being noticed by their partner. They are craving validation and recognition, wanting to know if they are making an impact on their partner's life - whether it's positive or negative.
The chorus "Hey yeah, it's amazing / How I get over my head, over my head" is a reflection on the singer's sense of being overwhelmed by their emotions. They feel like they are drowning in their feelings and they cannot escape or hide from them. They are forced to confront their own vulnerability and need for connection, which is a theme that is explored throughout the song. The bridge "Tell me that it's okay, say anything / I promise I'll believe you 'cause I need this lie" is a particularly poignant moment, as the singer is willing to deceive themselves in order to feel seen and heard by their partner.
