The band reached mainstream success with the release of Performance and Cocktails (and its promotional singles "The Bartender and the Thief", "Just Looking" and "Pick a Part That's New") in 1999 and have achieved a total of ten top-ten singles as well as one number one: "Dakota" (2005). Having sold around 10 million copies worldwide by 2016, Stereophonics are one of the most successful Welsh rock acts. Upon their release of Pull the Pin, they achieved five consecutive UK number one albums.
The band have also been praised for their live performances, which have landed them headlining slots at many of the UK and Ireland's most high-profile music festivals, including Reading and Leeds in 2000, Glastonbury in 2002, V Festival in 2002, the Isle of Wight in 2004 and 2009, Oxegen in 2010, Tramlines Festival and TRNSMT in 2018, and Latitude in 2019.

Since I told you is over
Stereophonics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said I'm sorry for the lies and the pain
I never ever meant to make you cry
If I could take it back, you know, I would
I want to burn up and die
[Chorus]
So take a look at me now
You got a hole in your heart
I'll find a four leaf clover
You can't tell me this now
This far down the line
That you're never, ever gonna get over me
You've seen a cross, it's a cross I bear
You're drinking, hard up, living without a hope or a care
You're making do to please, see what makes you smile
You're not around for long, you gotta see what's gonna move your life right along
[Chorus]
I'm lost
I'm cold
I'm getting old
My head is filled with lies I told
I've been down
I've been around
But I've fallen on my own two feet
And I've left you out to drown
I never meant for that
I look around, sometimes I stare
I think back now and then, I hope you know I care
I walked away that day, trying to treat you right
But you were on your track, it was me turning back,
I left you freezing outside
[Chorus]
Never get over me
Never get over me
Never get over me
The lyrics to Stereophonics’ song “Since I Told You It’s Over” are a heart-wrenching reflection on a past relationship. The first verse starts with the singer expressing remorse for causing pain and tears, admitting that he never meant to hurt his partner. The next verse portrays the partner as someone who is trying to move on and find happiness, but is weighed down by the burden of the breakup. The chorus indicates that the singer believes his partner will never fully recover from their relationship, and that he feels guilty for causing such a profound impact.
The second verse asserts that the singer has been carrying a metaphorical “cross” since the breakup, while his partner is trying to cope with the loss. The partner is forced to fake happiness to find joy and appears to be lost, trying to figure out how to live his/her life without the other person. The singer expresses his own feelings of regret for leaving, but also alludes to how it might have been for the best. The final lines of the song seem to suggest that the singer believes his partner will never move on, no matter how much time has passed.
Overall, the song is an introspective look at the aftermath of a failed relationship. The chorus implies that the singer has moved on from the breakup, while his partner remains stuck in an unhealed state. The instrumentation, with its slow tempo and melancholic melody, helps to convey the sense of sadness and remorse.

Black and blue from the wind and the rain
검푸른 우울을 머금은 바람과 비
Said I'm sorry for the lies and the pain
거짓말해서, 널 힘들게 해서 미안하다고 말했지
I never ever meant to make you cry
절대 널 울릴 생각은 없었어
If I could take you back, you know, I would
널 다시 찾을 수 있다면, 정말이지, 그럴 수만 있다면
I wanna burn up and die
난 너무 좋아 미쳐버릴지도 몰라
So take a look at me now
이제 날 바라봐 주겠니
Since I told you it's over
우리의 이별 뒤에
You got a hole in your heart
네 마음엔 깊은 상처가 남았지
I'll find a four leaf clover
우리 다시 시작하자
You can't tell me this now
이번만큼은 아무 말 말아줘
This far down the line
제발 아무 말도 하지마
That you're never, ever gonna get over me
절대 날 잊을 수 없을 거잖아
You've seen a cross, it's a cross I bear
넌 내가 준 아픔에 힘들어 했어
You're drinking, hard up
술에 취해 비틀거리고, 힘들어하고
living without a hope or a care
너 자신을 돌보지 않은 채 희망없는 삶을 살아가지
You're making do to please, see what makes you smile
넌 널 기쁘게할 것을 찾고 있어, 뭐가 진정 널 웃게하는지 봐봐
You're not around for long
그리 오래 헤매지 않아도
You gotta see what's gonna move your life right along
넌 알게 될거야, 네 삶을 다시 정상으로 돌려놓을 사람이 누군지
So take a look at me now
그러니까 이제 날 봐줘
Since I told you it's over
내가 널 떠난 후로
You got a hole in your heart
네 가슴엔 커다란 구멍이 생겼어
I'll find a four leaf clover
네잎클로버를 찾을거야
You can't tell me this now
이번만큼은 아무 말 말아줘
This far down the line
제발 아무 말 하지마
That you're never, ever gonna get over me
넌 절대 날 잊지 못하잖아
I'm lost
난 길을 잃었어
I'm cold
너무 추워
I'm getting old
퇴색해져 가고 있어
My head is filled with lies I told
머리 속은 내가 했던 거짓말들로 가득해
I've been down
기운이 안나
I've been around
방황하고 있어
But I've fallen on my own two feet
하지만 떠나려는 내 두 발을 재촉했지
And I've left you out to drown
널 슬픔 속에 내버려뒀어
I never meant for that
일부러 그랬던 건 아냐
I look around, sometimes I stare
뒤돌아서, 가끔씩 널 지켜봤어
I think back now and then
시간을 되돌릴 수 있다면, 그렇게 해서라도
I hope you know I care
널 아끼고 있단 걸 네가 알아줬으면 해
I walked away that day, trying to treat you right
그 날 난 최선의 이별을 했다고 생각했어
But you were on your track, it was me turning back
하지만 넌 네 길을 걸어갔고, 그 자리에 멈춰서 있던 건 나였어
I left you freezing outside
너 혼자 떨게 내버려둔 거야
So take a look at me now
그러니까 이제 날 봐줘
Since I told you it's over
내가 널 떠난 후로
You got a hole in your heart
네 가슴엔 커다란 구멍이 생겼어
I'll find a four leaf clover
나 이제 네잎클로버를 찾을거야
You can't tell me this now
이번만큼은 아무 말 말아줘
This far down the line
제발 아무 말 하지마
That you're never, ever gonna get over me
넌 절대 날 잊지 못하잖아
Never get over me
제발 날 잊지마
Never get over me
날 지울 수 없잖아

DESDE QUE TE DIJE QUE SE TERMINÓ
Negro y azul por el viento y la lluvia
Pedí Perdón por las mentiras y el dolor
Nunca, pero nunca, quise hacerte llorar
Si pudiese arreglarlo tu sabes que lo haría
Quiero incendiarme y morir
Así que mírame ahora
Desde que te dije que se terminó
Tienes un hueco en el corazón
Yo encontrare mi trébol de cuatro hojas
No puedes decirme esto ahora
Con tanto camino recorrido
Que nunca, nunca, te vas a olvidar de mi
Haz visto una cruz, es la cruz que cargo
Estas tomando mucho, viviendo sin esperanza, sin que te importe nada
Solo lo haces por agradar, para ver si algo te hace sonreír
No estas estable por mucho tiempo, tienes que descubrir algo que te ayude a seguir con tu vida
Así que mírame ahora
Desde que te dije que se terminó
Tienes un hueco en el corazón
Yo encontrare mi trébol de cuatro hojas
No puedes decirme esto ahora
Con tanto camino recorrido
Que nunca, nunca, te vas a olvidar de mi
Estoy perdido
Tengo frío
Estoy envejeciendo
Mi cabeza esta llena con mis mentiras
He estado triste
He estado mejor
Pero he caído en mis propios dos pies
Y te he dejado ahogar
Nunca fue esa mi intención
Miro alrededor, a veces fijamente
A veces recuerdo, espero que sepas que me importa
Me aleje ese día, intentando tratarte bien
Pero tu estabas bien encaminada, fui yo quien te dio la espalda, te deje congelando afuera
Así que mírame ahora
Desde que te dije que se terminó
Tienes un hueco en el corazón
Yo encontrare mi trébol de cuatro hojas
No puedes decirme esto ahora
Con tanto camino recorrido
Que nunca, nunca, te vas a olvidar de mi
Nunca te vas a olvidar de mi

@carlaluquesanchez3104
This song is SO SO SO EMOTIONAL. Just break my heart every time I listen to it. No matter who I am with, I can't pretend I am not sad. That is what I call GOOD MUSIC.
@natureclips5849
Kelly Jones looks like the singer in Gorillaz
@robertrosser5173
My favourite Stereophonics track of all time. Kelly's voice was just so raw and pure. You could understand why he had to change the way he sang, he would have burned out a long time ago. Thank god he did and we're enjoying him all these years later ❤️
