Overcome has now returned in 2010. But, this is not a reunion. This is a new era of the band. As time moves on life will always have its challenges and changes. Jason Stinson the front man and main song writer for Overcome lead the band through 7 years of these challenges and changes. All of them rewarding. For the last several years it was time to focus and do “life” apart from this band. Now a new opportunity has once again become a reality and Overcome has returned with new members and new music. More important than all of this isn’t what has changed, but what hasn’t and will never change. That is our purpose and our message. Be ready… a new flame is burning.
Game Over
Overcome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lonliness finds you, you find there is a need, there is a need to kill.
But who's life is at stake here now, when did your own life become such a threat to you, you lookd around, is there nothing left, nothing left for you to do.
Is this the end of you string?
You find a welcome mat of death's sting.
Sorrow. Pain.
Coming closer to the end of your game, and no one seems to care.
Need something new, a breath of fresh air.
It's time to see your life is a lie.
Lie.
It's time to change your life.
And a new gift has been offered to you.
A gift of peace, a gift of new life.
And new doors have been opened for you.
Jesus is waiting there to see you through.
The one who does give more than anything this world could give.
The one who does give more than any lifestyle you could live.
Anything this world could offer you, anything this world could ever give.
In "Game Over," Overcome tells a story about a person who feels lost and unfulfilled in their life. This person sees no purpose in continuing to live and even contemplates taking their own life. They feel lonely and like there is nothing left for them to do. They have reached a point where they have tried everything, and nothing seems to work. The lyrics suggest that this is a common feeling among people, and overcoming it is a significant challenge.
However, the song offers hope to its listeners. It suggests that there is another way, one that includes finding a new purpose, a new path, and a new lease on life. The song emphasizes that there is someone waiting for them, and that is Jesus. The song encourages the listener to shift their focus from the material world and to embrace something greater. It offers the promise of a better life, one that is filled with peace and new opportunities.
Overall, "Game Over" is a powerful message about overcoming feelings of despair and finding a new sense of purpose. It encourages listeners to shift their focus from the material world to something more significant, and to embrace a new way of life that includes hope and new opportunities.
