Destination
Overpower Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

NOTHING STRIKES THE FATE
NOTHING LEFT TO DO
NO WAY FOR US TO CHANGE
NO TIME FOR US TO LOSE

SOMETHING LEFT BEHIND
SOMEWHERE IN THE PAST
SO HARD FOR US TO FIND
STILL ON THE SEARCH AT LAST

DESTINATION HITS US ALL

NOW THE TIME HAS COME
NO WAY OUT FROM HERE




WE ARE ON THE RUN
HEARTS ARE FILLED WITH FEAR

Overall Meaning

The chorus of Overpower's song "Destination" speaks to the inevitability of fate, and the lack of agency we have in changing it. The band emphasizes the idea that sometimes, we find ourselves in situations where there is nothing we can do to alter the course of events, and all we can do is brace ourselves for what's to come. This is a common theme in much of the band's work, which often explores feelings of powerlessness and the desire to escape them.


The second verse delves into the idea of regret, focusing on the idea that we all have something in our pasts that we wish we could change. Yet despite our best efforts, this remains elusive; something intangible and just out of grasp. The repeated refrain of "still on the search at last" highlights the idea that this search is ongoing, everlasting, and ultimately perhaps fruitless.


"Destination" is a powerful and poignant song, evoking a sense of sadness and resignation. It speaks to the human condition in a way that is both relatable and thought-provoking.
