It's Over
Taylor Hawkins & The Coattail Riders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But never goes away
And when it comes
To nothing I can say
Seems like forever
Forever I would wait
Sometimes it goes
But it never goes away
The arms of sympathy
Oh, oh
Arms of sympathy
And I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
Oh, oh
Sometimes it comes
Now heat up like the sun
I sit and wait
Waits for me to run
Seems like forever
Forever I would wait
Who, who and when it comes
The words like symphonies
Oh, oh
Words like symphonies
And I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
Oh, oh
Sometimes it goes
But it never goes away
Sometimes it goes
But it never goes away
Oh, who and when it comes
The words like symphonies
Oh, oh
And I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
And I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
And I just wanted you to know
It's OK now
Oh, oh
Ooh, oh
Oh, oh
The lyrics to "It's Over" by Taylor Hawkins & The Coattail Riders seem to be about the struggles of dealing with something that never truly goes away. The repetition of "sometimes it goes, but it never goes away" suggests that this thing may come and go, but it consistently has a lingering presence. The verses discuss waiting and feeling sympathy from others, possibly indicating a period of hardship that the person is going through. However, the chorus reassures the listener that "it's okay now," providing some comfort and closure.
The lines "who, who and when it comes" and "words like symphonies" could suggest that this thing is related to communication or relationships. Perhaps the person is struggling to find the right words to express their feelings, or they can't escape the memories of a past relationship. Overall, the song seems to be about the difficulty of letting go and finding closure, but ultimately accepting that things will be okay.
Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes it goes
Occasionally things will get better
But never goes away
But the pain of the past remains
And when it comes
When the pain resurfaces
To nothing I can say
I'm left with no words to comfort myself or others
Seems like forever
It feels like it will never end
Forever I would wait
I'm willing to endure it indefinitely
Who, who and when it comes
I don't know who or when it will return
The arms of sympathy
I crave compassion and understanding
Oh, oh
Expressing a deep emotion
And I just wanted you to know
I want someone to understand
It's OK now
But I'm starting to heal
Sometimes it comes
The pain can resurface unexpectedly
Now heat up like the sun
Intense feelings can arise
I sit and wait
I have to endure it again
Waits for me to run
I want to escape from the pain
The words like symphonies
The power of words to evoke strong emotions
I just wanted you to know
I want to share my feelings
And I just wanted you to know
I need reassurance
Oh, oh
Emphasizing the importance of the message
Ooh, oh
Expressing an emotional release

Taylor was a true legend and he didn't even realise it. Such an astonishing musician. So multi talented and much much more than the drummer of the Foo Fighters
@TheFoofighters89
What a loss. He was 50, and looked 30 with the energy of a 20 year old. A great musician
