It's Over Now
Particle Thief Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're here now
It's come to this
We don't know to do
The things we saw before
We swore we'd never be
But it's happening to you

And I don't know how you let this be a part of you no
And I don't know how I just sit back and watch you fall

We're here now and you haven't said a word
Is this the time to bring up all the pain I have
It's clear now, you've said all you need to say
Now that it's said, we can learn to be again

Wasted
Trust faded
It's hard for you to try to find the time
So distant
Indifferent
We've wasted all our time

Wasted
Trust faded
It's hard for you to try to find the time
So distant
Indifferent
We've wasted all our time

It's over
It's over now
It's over




It's over
It's over now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Particle Thief's "It's Over Now" seem to express a bitter sense of disappointment and betrayal. The opening lines "We're here now, it's come to this, we don't know what to do" imply a sense of helplessness and despair as the singer faces a situation that is out of their control. They seem to be at a loss for words as they try to grapple with the things they saw before that they never thought would happen to them. The next line "But it's happening to you" suggests that someone has been hurt and that the singer no longer recognizes the person that they used to be. In the chorus, the singer laments their inability to understand or help the person they care about as they let themselves fall.


The second verse of the song is particularly poignant as the singer admits their own part in the breakdown of the relationship. They say, "And I don't know how I just sit back and watch you fall" suggesting that they have been complicit in the suffering of their loved one. The lines "Is this the time to bring up all the pain I have? It's clear now, you've said all you need to say" indicate that there has been some kind of confrontation or argument, and the relationship is irreparably damaged. Despite this, the singer suggests that it's still possible to learn to be again, to pick up the pieces and start over.

[Verse 1]
It's been like a year since I've been home
Flirting with an addiction I can't shake off
My mouth is dry, I self medicate
This comedown won't cure itself
It's driving you away
It's driving you away
Piece by piece
Day by day

[Chorus]
Baby, tell me if I'm being strange
And if I need to rearrange
My particles
I will for you
My particles
I will for you

[Verse 2]
And I'm a shadow of a ghost
It's feeling as if somebody has taken host
Babe, I don't wanna make a scene
But I get self-destructive
And it's driving you away
It's driving you away
Piece by piece
Day by day


[Chorus]
Baby, tell me if I'm being strange
And if I need to rearrange
My particles
I will for you

[Bridge]
Oh, doctor please
This don't feel right
Oh, can't you give me something
To get me through the night?
If it all falls apart
And if this thing goes wrong
Oh put me back together
However you want
My mind plays tricks

And I don't sleep no more
Oh doctor please
I can't switch off

[Chorus]
Baby, tell me if I'm being strange
And if I need to rearrange
My particles
I will for you
My particles
I will for you

"I'm not perfect, but I'm working toward perfection." The way he says it gets me every time for some reason.
