24 Hours
Overpower Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I AM CRUISING DOWN THE EMPTY
STREETS OF HOPE

EXPECTATIONS, FEARS AND
A POCKET FULL OF DOPE

RUNNING OUT OF ORDER
YEAH YEAH YEAH
RUNNING FREE

24 HOURS STRAYING AROUND

24 HOURS TILL THE SUN GOES DOWN

GOT NO MIRROR — NO REFLECTION

LOST MY SENSE OF DIRECTION

I'M GOING DOWN
TO THE BOTTOM OF THE WORLD





NO ONE AROUND
AND I FEEL SO DISTURBED

The song encapsulates a feeling of being lost and directionless, running out of order, running free, yet feeling disturbed. The reference to 24 hours may relate to a feeling of recklessness, living life to the fullest with no consequences or responsibilities. The singer has no reflection and feels as though they have lost their sense of direction.


As the song progresses, it seems as though the singer is spiraling out of control, going to the bottom of the world with no one around. The lyrics show a desire for freedom and an escape from expectations and fears. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for addiction, where the singer is taking drugs to escape reality and feel free, yet ultimately feels more lost and disturbed.


Overall, "24 Hours" by Overpower is a thought-provoking song about the desire for freedom, escapism through vices, and the feeling of being directionless and lost. The lyrics paint a clear picture of a person on a path of self-destruction, yet still searching for something beyond their grasp.
