On the eve of releasing their debut album No Ordinary People (produced by Stephen Leiweke) Schaeffer is already creating a stir with a rock/pop sound that is fresh, honest, and untainted.

Movement. It brings inevitable change through connection. This is what Schaeffer seeks to bring to the world with creativity, endurance, and hope in their music...a better ability to connect, which creates movement, which brings change. Idealistic? Unrealistic? Perhaps, but if Schaeffer settled for anything less right out of the gate, then what would be the point?

Places of discovery, times of skepticism, moments of doubt, and revelations of truth all played their part in the forming of the album No Ordinary People. With the tenacity to be genuinely honest in all that they do, songs that stand out from others in modern music, and performances impossible to forget, its obvious both where and how Schaeffer will be standing wherever they go...connected.

Over And Over
Schaeffer Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pulse is racing. Mouth is wording.
Sending up a prayer for the strength to struggle here with the pain
I was waiting for the right time, did I miss you all together?
I was waiting for the right time, did I lose you over and over?
So here I am with my dreams.
Selfishly they turn to fantasies.
Where I am happy, and you are nothing.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Schaeffer's "Over and Over" describe the struggle of trying to deal with the pain of a lost love. The first verse suggests the physical manifestation of the singer's emotional turmoil with the racing pulse and uncontrollable thoughts represented by the wording mouth. The prayer for strength is a plea to help overcome the pain and move on. However, the second verse explores the possibility that the waiting for the right time might have been in vain, and the singer may have lost the chance with their love interest entirely.

The final verse highlights the singer's inner turmoil as their dreams turn to fantasy, with the focus on their happiness leaving their former love as nothing. This could be a result of self-preservation, finding a way to cope with the loss by creating a narrative that favors their happiness. This inner conflict speaks to the struggle of letting go of love and the challenges of coming to terms with the ending of a relationship.

Line by Line Meaning

Pulse is racing. Mouth is wording.
I am feeling anxious and overwhelmed. I am struggling to articulate my thoughts and feelings.

Sending up a prayer for the strength to struggle here with the pain
I am asking for divine help to endure the emotional distress I am experiencing.

I was waiting for the right time, did I miss you all together?
I was hoping for an opportunity to reconnect with you. Did I let it slip by without even realizing it?

I was waiting for the right time, did I lose you over and over?
I kept delaying taking action to reconcile with you, and now I fear that I may have lost you forever.

So here I am with my dreams.
I am left alone to contemplate my aspirations and desires.

Selfishly they turn to fantasies.
My dreams have become self-centered illusions, divorced from reality and unattainable.

Where I am happy, and you are nothing.
In my imaginary world, I am fulfilled and content without you. You have no place in it.
