Is It Over
Lovers Electric Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Build it up
tear it down
there is nothing left to say

Should we go?
should we wait?
no one wants to waste away

Let me in
get me out
either way it has to be

We can't stay
to fade away
the end is not a means for me

Is it over
maybe where already there?
Take it over
maybe were already dead?

I won't look inside no more
I wont wait for comfort signs
I wont listen for the call
I know the answer is too clear

Honest fears
honest doubts
but nothing ever changes

Its nice to talk
nice to smile
that will be the end of us

Is it over
maybe where already there?
Take it over
maybe were already dead?

I won't look inside no more
I wont wait for comfort signs

I wont listen for the call
I know the answer is too clear

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Is It Over" by Lovers Electric convey a sense of uncertainty and contemplation about the state of a relationship. The first stanza sets the tone of indecision, as the singer questions whether they should stay in the relationship or move on. There is a feeling of resignation, as they acknowledge that there is nothing left to be said and no one wants to waste away in a stagnant situation.

The second stanza reflects the internal struggle of the singer. They long to be let in and feel connected, but also desire to escape and be free from the weight of the relationship. The line "either way it has to be" suggests that a decision must be made, implying that maintaining the status quo is no longer an option.

The chorus poses the fundamental question of whether the relationship is already over or if it's on the verge of ending. The repetition of the line "maybe we're already there" suggests a sense of inevitability, while "take it over, maybe we're already dead" adds a touch of despair and hopelessness.

The bridge of the song reveals the singer's resolve to no longer look for validation or reassurance. They won't rely on comfort signs or wait for someone else's permission to find happiness. They acknowledge that the answer to their doubts and fears is already clear to them.

Overall, "Is It Over" explores the internal conflict and uncertain state of a relationship, and the realization that sometimes the best decision is to let go and move forward.
