Over
Syd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's written all over your face
Maybe we can keep in touch
I'll call you when I come around, hope you pick up (hello?)
But you know that this is useless
No need to make excuses
We both know what the truth is, love (ayy)
We been getting distant
I'm suited up
Is it safe to say it's over? (Over)
Now (over)
I think it's safe to say it's over
Is it safe to say it's over? (Over)
Over (over)
I think it's safe to say it's over, yeah
Won't call this a waste of time (nah)
But I can only speak for myself
Lately it's been crossing my mind
I'm moving on, you're moving on, it won't be long
'Til we come to the conclusion
That we can't be exclusive
No we can't be exclusive, no (no, no, no)
Ain't nothin' we ain't used to
We don't talk like we used to
We used to, no
Is it safe to say it's over? (Over)
Now (over)
I think it's safe to say it's over
Is it safe to say it's over? (Over)
Over (over)
I think it's safe to say it's over, yeah
Safe to say, I was right
You was wrong, that's okay
Love was broke, love was lost
Love was poor, Section 8
Safe to say I'm in your head
And you probably want me dead
That's a little extreme
I don't rule out anything, because
Love make a nigga do shit that he don't wanna (yeah)
Why would you agree if you ain't build for the drama?
Meditation, conversation and a little marijuana
I know when shit ain't right
You can act if you wanna, girl
I don't wanna say too much
And I don't wanna make assumptions
But lately I've been giving no fucks
You love me, but I'm fucking with you from afar
No I don't want confusion, this love was an illusion
We don't know what we doing love
How we gon' look for help when you don't know yourself, yeah
In "Over," Syd sings about a relationship that has come to an end. She expresses how the signs were all there that the relationship was not working out and that it was time to move on. She tells her partner that she will call him when she comes around, hoping he picks up, but deep down inside, she knows that this is useless. Syd acknowledges that they both know the truth and that there is no need to make excuses for the end of the relationship. The two people involved have been growing distant, and it's time to go about their business. Syd admits that even though it's not a waste of time, and they both have been trying, things are just not working out between them. They can't be exclusive anymore because they don't talk like they used to.
Syd later admits that she was right, and her partner was wrong, though she's okay with that. Love was broke, and love was lost, and she is safe to say that she is in her partner's head, and he probably wants her dead. However, she doesn't rule out anything because love makes people do things they don't want to. She then suggests that they meditate, have a conversation, and smoke some weed, hoping to find a way to understand each other. Finally, she tells her partner that they don't know what they're doing in love, so how will they look for help when they don't know themselves.
