Think It Over
Mammoth WVH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remembering a brighter sun
All you love will fall away
Away
I can't go back
Not everything is built to last
Give everything if I could ask
Wait
Why can't I move on?
Hey
Why'd you take so long
To think it over?
Cold regret
Remembering the words you said
Hold your breath and slip away
Away
Just wake up
Not everything will be this tough
Don't ever think it's not enough
If it meant anything to you
Wait
Why can't I move on?
Hey
Why'd you take so long?
Don't wake me up (don't wake me up)
I'd rather not be bothered by the truth
And you again (again, again)
One by one
Remembering a brighter sun
All you love will fall away
Wait
Why can't I move on?
Hey
Why'd you take so long?
Wait
Why can't I move on?
Hey
Why'd you take so long?
(Wait)
To think it over
(Wait)
To think it over
(Wait)
To think it over
The lyrics to Mammoth WVH's song Think It Over are about the struggle to move on from a past love. The song starts with the singer reminiscing about the past, remembering a brighter sun and everything that they loved falling away. Next, the singer expresses that they cannot go back because not everything is built to last, but if they could, they would give everything they had to offer. The chorus then asks the question of why the person they loved took so long to think things over and move on. The second verse describes the feeling of cold regret and holding onto the words that were said in the past. The singer encourages themselves to wake up and not think that everything is so tough, and to realize that what they have to offer is enough. The final chorus repeats the question of why it took so long for the past love to think things over and finally move on.
Overall, the song has a melancholic tone and reflects the inner turmoil of the singer. The lyrics communicate the feeling of being stuck in the past and being unable to move on. The chorus asking why it took so long for the past love to move on implies that the singer may have been waiting for their ex to come back or to make a choice about their relationship. The song ultimately encourages the singer to wake up and not be bothered by the truth, suggesting that it's time for them to move forward.

At this point, it doesn't really matter that he's Eddie's son, he's the real deal, all on his own. Bravo.
Thomas Murphy
This man is the anti-rockstar rockstar. Hard to label his music. The lyrics are as strong as the music. Pure talent.
Dan Lindberg
Just yeah!

Clearly Eddie wasn't just praising your talent because he is your father. Impressive young man! GOD bless.
