It's Over Now
Papas Fritas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's the use of waiting here when you're not coming home
Did you see the rain was falling just the other night
It's over now, step into the light
Picking up from where we left, my heart was left behind
Living through the day we met with your hands next to mine
Every night I dream of you a part of me inside
Nothing seems to last forever
Love won't always remember
When you came around I couldn't get over loving you
I never thought that love was so hard until you came along
And now that you're gone, I'm losing the will that would carry me on
Every time I think of you I stop and wonder why
It's over now, it's time to say goodbye
The lyrics of Papas Fritas's song, It's Over Now, convey a sense of loss and heartbreak as the singer contemplates the end of a relationship. The opening lines question the futility of waiting for someone who isn't coming back. This is followed by a nostalgia for the past and a regret that the relationship wasn't able to last despite their love. The singer feels as if a part of them is still holding on, but realizes that it's time to let go and move on.
The lyrics are rich in imagery that speaks to the emotions of heartbreak. The mention of rain, for instance, is often used in popular culture as a symbol of sadness or melancholy. The use of the phrase "step into the light" can be seen as an implicit call to move forward towards positivity and hope. The chorus too feels resigned, with a mention of how "Nothing seems to last forever."
Overall, It's Over Now speaks of the cyclical nature of love, the peaks and valleys that come with it, and the ultimate realization that one must let go and move on. The song's stripped-down instrumentation and gentle vocals add to its emotional impact, making it a poignant ode to lost love.

What's the use of standing here when I'm all alone
Why bother waiting around when you're not here with me
What's the use of waiting here when you're not coming home
There's no point in waiting for you to come back when you never will
Did you see the rain was falling just the other night
It rained the night I realized it's really over between us
It's over now, step into the light
Our relationship is done, it's time to move on and face the truth
Picking up from where we left, my heart was left behind
Resuming our relationship where we left off means leaving my heart vulnerable again
Living through the day we met with your hands next to mine
The memory of our first encounter and the way we held hands haunts me
Every night I dream of you a part of me inside
You still have a hold on me, even in my subconscious
Keeps holding on, trying to go on
I'm trying to move forward, but part of me is still clinging to what we had
Nothing seems to last forever
All good things must come to an end
Love won't always remember
Even though we loved each other once, that love may not always be enough
When you came around I couldn't get over loving you
You were my whole world and I couldn't imagine life without you
I never thought that love was so hard until you came along
I thought love was easy until I experienced the pain of losing you
And now that you're gone, I'm losing the will that would carry me on
Without you, I'm struggling to find the motivation to keep going
Every time I think of you I stop and wonder why
Thoughts of you bring up questions I can't answer
It's over now, it's time to say goodbye
Our chapter is over and it's time to part ways
