Over And Over
T.O. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting here waiting on a new situation
On my way back to a known destination
I tried all night but I couldn't find the answers
No
I gotta make it work cause I'm running out of chances
Yeah must be out of my mind

And all the melodies coming back to me

I think I'm feeling just fine
City lights and just a few more miles to go
I do this all the time
why do I draw these lines
They keep me out of reach
It's not what I wanted no
But it brings me to my knees
Over and over
Over and over

Sitting here waiting on a new conversation
You're talking out of turn man I'm running out of patience

And all the melodies are coming back to me
I think I'm feeling just fine
City lights and just a few more miles to go
I do this all the time
Why do I draw these lines
Keep me out of reach
It's not what I wanted no
But it might be what I need

And I do this all the time why do I draw these lines
They keep me out of reach
It's not what I wanted but it brings me to my knees
Over and over
Over and over

Sunny days
God I swear there must be
Sunny days
Up ahead or in between
Sunny days
Think I found you in this place
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over

Over and over
And again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to T.O.'s song Over And Over convey a sense of restlessness, uncertainty and the constant search for answers. The starting lines talk about waiting for a new situation and trying to find answers all night long but failing. The singer of the song is aware that they are running out of chances and they must make the situation work. Yet, the lines "Yeah must be out of my mind" indicate a certain level of desperation, as if the person is losing their grip on sanity.

The chorus of the song is the most impactful section of the lyrics as it repeats the phrase "Over and over" multiple times, lending a sense of monotony to the situation. The singer seems to be running in circles, drawing lines to keep themselves "out of reach" but ultimately getting nowhere. The repeated theme of "It's not what I wanted, but it brings me to my knees" seems to suggest that the person is not in control of the situation and they are being brought down by it time and time again.

The song ends on a slightly hopeful note with the reference to "Sunny days" suggesting that there might be light at the end of the tunnel. However, the repetition of "over and over" at the end of the song casts doubt on whether the singer will be able to break free of the monotony.
