Get Over It
Lower Than Atlantis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah I know that before I was hanging
From the web that you weave by a thread
I went down and let go of it

Hit the floor with a bang as I laid there
Felt a fool, had myself to blame
A breath of fresh air could be the fire or blow out a flame
Blow out a flame, a breath of fresh air could be the fire or blow out a flame

But it seems that a bang is what I needed
Falling hard, knocking chunks into me
Too blind before but now I see

I know the moment you let go
You want it, you always want whatever you can't have
But this time, you can't have me

You know the moment I said no
You want it, you always want whatever you can't have
Well this time, I've got to leave you

Let go, let go honey
Let go, let go, yeah
Let go, let go honey
Let go, and get over it

Hmm, well I was sat on the fence, I was waiting
Waiting for you to make up your mind
Before you made up yours, I made up mine

I was frost bitten by a cold shoulder
All the time I spent with you I was alone
Just because I'm rock don't mean I'm made of stone

Let go
You want it, you always want whatever you can't have
But this time, you can't have me

You know the moment I said no
You want it, you always want whatever you can't have
Well this time, I've got to leave you

Let go, let go honey
Let go, let go, yeah
Let go, let go honey
Let go, and get over it

Let go, let go honey
Let go, and get over it
Get over it
Get over it

Get out of the picture, ohh
And I don't even miss ya, miss ya at all
Hope the next one to kiss ya will make you realise
You don't know what, don't know what you have 'till its gone
Yeah, you don't know what, don't know what you have 'till it's gone

Let go
You want it, you always want whatever you can't have
But this time, you can't have me

I know the moment you let go
You want it, you always want whatever you can't have
But this time, you can't have me

You know the moment I said no
You want it, you always want whatever you can't have
Well this time, it's time to leave you

Let go, let go honey
Let go, let go, yeah




Let go, let go honey
Let go, and get over it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lower Than Atlantis's song Get Over It speak about letting go of a toxic relationship. The first verse talks about how the singer was once entangled in a deceitful web but fell hard when he let it go. He felt foolish for ever getting involved but now sees things more clearly. The chorus encourages the other person to let go and get over it, while admitting that they always want what they can't have. In the second verse, the singer reveals that they were waiting for the other person to make up their mind before they decided to leave. The bridge talks about their realization that just because they appear strong, it doesn't mean that they can't be hurt. The final chorus repeats the sentiment that it's time to let go and move on, and that the other person may not even realize what they had until it's gone.


Overall, the song offers an honest portrayal of a relationship that was doomed from the start. The first time around, the singer got caught up in the other person's web and suffered the consequences of falling too hard. The second time around, they were smarter and more patient, but ultimately came to the conclusion that it was time to move on. The song's message is relatable to anyone who has ever been in a relationship that was more trouble than it was worth.


Line by Line Meaning

Yeah I know that before I was hanging
I was unsure of my situation and just going along with it


From the web that you weave by a thread
Your hold on me was delicate and easily breakable


I went down and let go of it
I finally realized that I needed to free myself from your grasp


Hit the floor with a bang as I laid there
Breaking free was a difficult and painful process


Felt a fool, had myself to blame
I allowed myself to be trapped and manipulated by you


A breath of fresh air could be the fire or blow out a flame
A change can either spark something new or snuff out something existing


But it seems that a bang is what I needed
Going through that difficult process was necessary for me


Falling hard, knocking chunks into me
Breaking away from you was a rough experience


Too blind before but now I see
I was unaware of how you were treating me until I freed myself


I know the moment you let go
I understand that you will only want me when you can't have me


You want it, you always want whatever you can't have
Your desire for me only increases when I try to move on


But this time, you can't have me
I won't let myself be trapped by you again


Well this time, I've got to leave you
I'm walking away from you for good


Let go, let go honey
You need to release your hold on me and move on


Let go, and get over it
It's time for both of us to move on and leave this behind us


Hmm, well I was sat on the fence, I was waiting
I was unsure and hesitant about my decision to free myself


Waiting for you to make up your mind
I was hoping you would change your ways and treat me better


Before you made up yours, I made up mine
I decided to take matters into my own hands and break away from you


I was frost bitten by a cold shoulder
My time with you was unpleasant and unfeeling


All the time I spent with you I was alone
You made me feel isolated and unsupported


Just because I'm rock don't mean I'm made of stone
I have emotions and am not immune to hurt


Get out of the picture, ohh
I want you to leave my life for good


And I don't even miss ya, miss ya at all
I realize now that our relationship was toxic and I don't miss you


Hope the next one to kiss ya will make you realise
I hope your next relationship is healthier and helps you grow


You don't know what, don't know what you have 'till its gone
You didn't appreciate me and our relationship until it was too late


Let go
Both of us need to release our hold on each other and move on

WHY AREN'T THESE GUYS FAMOUS AS HELL.

@glintinthedust

No as good as it would be for them the best bit about a band their size is how famous they are.

They are a good size

@wanderingstar7227

i ask myself that same question for many artists... just drives me nuts. such amazing artist like these guys and Blackbriar, etc..

@atsutoinflames8622

@charliewolff2152

If 'Criminal' and 'If The World Was To End' had a baby together - this would be it! Love it!
