Over You
Sing It Loud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm falling gracefully to my knees
And as I look back up at you
Nothing's coming through
Almost every time I try to figure out
Why I've hit the ground
My mind is telling me something's got to change
Can you help me breathe?
I can't get myself over you
You've got all that I need
(Something what you wanted)
Yesterday is something
We will not forget
So let's waste away the days and say
"We'll never get the chance to be okay"
Tell me anything
Please just anything, kill me with
The words that oh so gently
Make me feel at home
Watch me carefully
Singing baby we can't go wrong
Until my lungs give out and we
Crumble from within
I can't get myself over you
You've got all that I need
(Something what you wanted)
Yesterday is something
We will not forget
So let's waste away the days and say
"We'll never get the chance to be okay"
I can't get myself over you
You've got all that I need
(Something what you wanted)
Yesterday is something
We will not forget
So let's waste away the days and say
"We'll never get the chance to be okay"
The lyrics of "Over You" by Sing It Loud communicate a sense of longing, desperation, and heartbreak. The singer is in love with someone who has left them, and they cannot move on or get over the person. They are begging for help to breathe because being without this person makes it feel like they cannot breathe on their own. The desperation of the singer is highlighted in the line "Tell me anything, please just anything, kill me with the words that oh so gently make me feel at home." The singer wants any kind of interaction with the person they love, even if it hurts them in the long run.
The theme of yesterday is something we will not forget, but we will never get the chance to be okay, suggests that the singer remembers a happier time with their loved one, but now that they have gone, things can never be the same again. It is a heartbreaking realization that the singer is coming to, as they struggle to move on from the past, but cannot.
Overall, "Over You" is a powerful expression of the pain of losing someone you love, and the struggle to move on when you are still deeply in love with that person.
