They have the heart of at least 10 champion bull fighters. And these boys play hard, like a rock, which is rather appropriate because they're a rock band. Not so unlike a finely aged wine, it's clear that they just keep getting better with age.
Overtime
Reckless Serenade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're here to stay
Got this fever burning white
My tired eyes are black and bloodshot
Got another song to call our own
I'll get plenty of sleep when this over
Till then at least I know I'm not alone
Mark's in front driving to the show
Doesn't matter how long this whole year's been
This van just feels like home
I think it's about damn time
that we felt alive
We got heart, fight, first place on the mind
We're here to stay, got this fever burning white
We're the heartbeat pounding through your stereo
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
These tired feet would march for weeks
If the they could end up at your door
I want the weight of the world on my shoulder
I want you singing every word
I hope you're listening right
Are these tired speakers pumping loud
Thanks again for fueling my fire
I'd give it all just to keep you warm at night
This whole town needs to wake up
These stars shine brightest when I'm home
I think it's about damn time, that we felt alive
We got heart, fight, first place on the mind
We're here to stay, got this fever burning white
We're the heartbeat pounding through your stereo
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
These tired feet would march for weeks
If the they could end up at your door
Don't let them steal your starry eyes
Get down
Everybody everybody let's wake this whole damn town
Well this ones for the dreamers drowning in your stereo
This ones for my hopeless heart
I hope this song will guide you home
We got heart, fight, first place on the mind
We're here to stay, got this fever burning white
We're the heartbeat pounding through your stereo
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
These tired feet would march for weeks
If the they could end up at your door
The lyrics of Reckless Serenade's "Overtime" feel like a tribute to the band's dedication and passion for music. The song starts with an assertion that they have heart and are determined to succeed. They are not going anywhere, and they have a fever that burns white, an intense desire to keep going. However, they are tired, and their eyes are bloodshot, but they are not complaining. They have another song to call their own, and they know they are not alone. They have their bandmates, Matt and Mark, driving them to the show, and being on the road in their van feels like home.
The song's chorus reasserts the band's passion and determination, and how they aspire to be the sound that thumps through the stereo. They cannot fight the feeling anymore, and they would march for weeks to end up at the door of their fans. The bridge is almost like an appeal to listeners not to give up on their dreams, to keep their starry eyes uncorrupted, to get up and wake the whole town. The ultimate goal is to guide listeners home with their music, to sing for the dreamers, and hopelessly expectant hearts.
