Over My Head
Starfield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After the songs are sung
I realize I've only but just begun
Trying to wrap my mind around
Extravagant love come down
Leaves me undone
Finds me with nothing to say
The reach of Your fame
The power in Your name
Your glory surrounds me
It's over my head, It's over my head
The shame of the cross
For all that it cost
This friendship astounds me
It's over my head, It's over my head
Unquenchable songs and endless praise
A million tongues poised to sing
Could still not convey
The worth that Your name deserves
Beauty for ashes
Joy for pain
Mercy instead of my blame
Ruins me for more
I'm lost in Your presence, Lord
(Chorus)
Hallelujah...
Lost for the words to say
I'm left here in disarray
Waiting for You, waiting on truth
I've thrown reason overboard
Knowing that there's still more
I don't yet believe, I can't even perceive
I can't seem to understand
Can't seem to find my way
It's over my head, it's over my head
Learning this mystery
Trust what I cannot see
It's over my head, it's over my head
The wonder of all You've made
Foundations Your hands have laid
Bringing me back to my knees, to my knees
I'm lost for the words to say
Lost for another way
Bringing me back to my knees, to my knees
I'm lost for the words to say
Lost for another way
Ruined for anything other than Your love
I'm desperate to know You, Lord
Desperate for what's in store
Finding my hope in only You, in only You
Take me beyond this door
Lead me to something more
Open my heart up for more of You, more of You
The first verse of Starfield's song Over My Head begins with reflection on the power and wonder of God. The singer sings of the inadequacy of all the words and songs that have been written to describe the majesty of God, and how they have only just begun to grasp it. The next lines move towards a description of the love of God, how it is extravagant and powerful, and how it leaves the singer "undone" and "with nothing to say." The chorus then breaks in, emphasizing the "reach" of God's fame, the "power" in God's name, and the way God's "glory surrounds" the singer, who is being overcome by it all. The shame of the cross is also mentioned, and how, despite that cost, God invites the singer into a friendship that is astounding and beyond comprehension. The chorus repeats and ends with a hallelujah.
The second verse begins with a description of unquenchable praise and how it is still insufficient to convey the worth of God's name. The singer is overcome by the grace and mercy that God offers instead of the blame that the singer deserves. This ruins the singer for anything other than God's love and leads the singer to be "lost in Your presence, Lord." The chorus then repeats, followed by a bridge that emphasizes the singer's desperation to know God and be led to something more. The singer is aware that there is more beyond this door of understanding and perception, so they ask to be taken to that place where they can encounter more of God. The song ends with a plea for God to open the singer's heart to more of Him.
Line by Line Meaning
After the words have all been said
With all that I've said and done, I am still left unfulfilled
After the songs are sung
Even songs cannot convey my true emotions
I realize I've only but just begun
I understand there is much more to discover and learn
Trying to wrap my mind around
Attempting to comprehend something that is too complex
Extravagant love come down
Unconditional love that is beyond what I can deserve
Leaves me undone
I am left overwhelmed and incomplete
Finds me with nothing to say
I am speechless and cannot find the right words to express myself
The reach of Your fame
The extent of your greatness and popularity
The power in Your name
The strength and authority that your name holds
Your glory surrounds me
Your magnificent presence engulfs me
It's over my head, It's over my head
It is too much for me to understand or handle
The shame of the cross
The humiliating sacrifice Jesus made on the cross
For all that it cost
For the tremendous price that was paid
This friendship astounds me
To have a relationship with God is astonishing
Unquenchable songs and endless praise
Songs and adoration that can never be exhausted
A million tongues poised to sing
Countless voices ready to worship you
Could still not convey
Would still not be enough to express the fullness of your worth
The worth that Your name deserves
The value and honor that belongs to your name
Beauty for ashes
Replacing sorrow with joy and hope
Joy for pain
Exchanging pain for happiness
Mercy instead of my blame
Forgiving my faults and showing me mercy
Ruins me for more
Subdues and overwhelms me to seek and yearn for more
I'm lost in Your presence, Lord
I am fully immersed and captivated in your divine presence
Hallelujah...
Praising and worshiping God with exultation
I'm left here in disarray
I am left in a state of confusion and disorder
Waiting for You, waiting on truth
Patiently waiting for God's guidance and revelation
I've thrown reason overboard
I have let go of my logical thinking and chosen to trust blindly in God's plan
Knowing that there's still more
Being aware that there is an abundance of things that I am still unaware of
I don't yet believe, I can't even perceive
I have not fully trusted and cannot fully understand
I can't seem to understand
I am unable to comprehend or grasp what is occurring
Can't seem to find my way
I am lost and unsure of what direction to take
Learning this mystery
Understanding the enigmatic nature of God and his ways
Trust what I cannot see
Having faith in things that might not be visible but are undoubtedly true
The wonder of all You've made
The amazing beauty of everything that God has created
Foundations Your hands have laid
The strong and stable foundations that God has established
Bringing me back to my knees, to my knees
Humbling me to return to a state of complete surrender and submission
Ruined for anything other than Your love
Being incapable of desiring anything else besides God's love
I'm desperate to know You, Lord
Yearning and needing to have a personal relationship with God
Desperate for what's in store
Eager and excited for what God has in store
Finding my hope in only You, in only You
Putting all my hope and trust in God and only God
Take me beyond this door
Guiding me to an unknown but more fulfilling destiny
Lead me to something more
Showing me that there is a deeper and more purposeful way to live
Open my heart up for more of You, more of You
Inviting God to use all of me to more fully experience and pursue Him
