9000 Days
Overtone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That covers me
I'm unafraid
I believe
Beyond this place
Of wrath and tears
Beyond the hours
I thank whatever
Whatever Gods may be
9000 days were set aside
9000 days of destiny (9000 days)
9000 days to thank Gods where ever they may be
It matters not
The circumstance
We rise above
We took a chance
And I thank whatever
Whatever Gods may be (Whatever Gods may be)
9000 days were set aside
9000 days of destiny (Destiny)
9000 days to thank Gods where ever they may be
Oh, a broken heart that turned to stone (Stone)
Can break a man but not his soul (Soul)
9000 days were set aside
9000 days of destiny
9000 days to thank Gods where ever they may be
And I thank whatever
Whatever Gods may be
The opening lines of Overtone's song "9000 Days" refer to a feeling of fearlessness and belief - the singer is unafraid and trusts in something greater than themselves. Moving beyond this opening sentiment, the lyrics paint a picture of a place filled with "wrath and tears" where time ticks by "turning to years". However, the singer remains thankful to "whatever Gods may be" despite the passing of 9000 days - ignoring the circumstances, the singer and others around them have risen above their struggles and taken chances.
The chorus comes in and repeats the 9000 days motif, calling them a "destiny" that was "set aside" for some reason. The singer again thanks the deities that they've been invoking throughout the song, adding more emotion and intensity to their gratitude each time. The bridge further complicates the narrative, referencing a "broken heart that turned to stone" but adding that this pain can't break a man's soul. Finally, the chorus repeats once more, ending the song with the message that the singer still thanks "whatever Gods may be".
Overall, "9000 Days" seems to be a song about faith and resilience. The singer has clearly experienced a lot of pain and adversity, but they've managed to survive and remain thankful to some higher power for the journey. The repeated reference to 9000 days adds a sense of a countdown or something predetermined, with the "destiny" aspect suggesting that everything the singer has been through was meant to be.

Every time I think of him, I just wonder how anyone can be so good, and so strong inside as to completely forgive what was done to him. Forever an example for the rest of humanity.
