Violet is known for her trademark colorful hair, and array of large-frame glasses worn in her videos. She is sometimes referred to as a geek-girl for having an interest in Digimon, Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and The Legend of Zelda. She started vlogging in 2007 for a school project and began to do so daily when she traveled to Hong Kong and Thailand as a fashion model.
Not over You
Tessa Violet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You sulk, quiet as a way to be mean
What a day in my favorite town
Going out, but you bring me down
I tried being everything that you want
But I don't know how to be what I'm not
Telling me that I'm such a chore
You act like you're a saint
Then say that I'm insane
You made me doubt myself
Go fuck with someone else
You are not my friend
This is the end
You are not my friend
Get it through your head
This is the end
You are not my friend
Good news, I'll never make another excuse
For you and how you never seem to come through
Didn't bother coming to my show (what the fuck?)
Cut me down so I couldn't grow
If I win a little then you know what to do
Back bend to make a moment all about you
Guess you couldn't bare to see me shine
Three fingers, read between the lines
I've cried on bathroom floors
And tried to be mature
You say I'm insecure
You're twenty-eight with a teenager
You are not my friend
This is the end
You are not my friend
Get it through your head
This is the end
You are not my friend
Sorry that I ever met you
Sorry, no one ever gets you
Sorry that I let you bring me down
Now I write another chapter
My own happy ever after
I'd thought forever, wow
But I know better now
You were not my friend
This is the end
You are not my friend (you are not my friend)
Get it through your head (get it through your head)
This is the end (this is the end)
You are not my friend
Na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
You are not my friend
In "Not Over You," Tessa Violet sings about a toxic friendship that she's finally ready to walk away from. The song opens with the lines "Flashback summer in the city of dreams, You sulk, quiet as a way to be mean." This sets the tone for the rest of the song, as Tessa talks about all the ways this friend has brought her down over time.
Tessa tries to be everything her friend wants her to be, but realizes she can't keep pretending to be someone she's not. Her friend constantly puts her down, making her feel like a burden instead of valued. The chorus is a statement of her finality. "You are not my friend. This is the end. Get it through your head, you are not my friend."
Throughout the song, Tessa details the ways this friendship has hurt her, from missing her shows to belittling her on a regular basis. She finally comes to terms with the fact that this person will never be a friend to her, and she's better off without them.
Overall, "Not Over You" is a powerful song about standing up for oneself and letting go of toxic relationships. It's a message about recognizing when someone isn't good for you and having the strength to move on. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has struggled with letting go of a friendship that has run its course.
Line by Line Meaning
Flashback summer in the city of dreams
Remembering a summer in a city where dreams are made
You sulk, quiet as a way to be mean
You behave sulky and silent to hurt me
What a day in my favorite town
Having a great day in my favorite place
Going out, but you bring me down
Feeling low despite going out because of your behavior
I tried being everything that you want
I made an effort to be the person you wanted me to be
But I don't know how to be what I'm not
However, I cannot be someone I'm not
Telling me that I'm such a chore
You call me a burden and a chore
When all I wanted was to be your girl
All I ever wanted was to be your girlfriend
You act like you're a saint
You pretend to be a saint
Then say that I'm insane
And then call me crazy
You made me doubt myself
You made me question my own self-worth
Go fuck with someone else
Leave me alone and go bother someone else
You are not my friend
I realize you are not a true friend to me
This is the end
It's over between us
Get it through your head
Understand and accept the situation
Good news, I'll never make another excuse
I have good news – I won't make any more excuses for you
For you and how you never seem to come through
For your inability to keep your promises
Didn't bother coming to my show (what the fuck?)
You didn't even bother attending my show and I'm angry
Cut me down so I couldn't grow
You belittled me so much that I couldn't grow in your company
If I win a little then you know what to do
If I achieve any success, you know how you'd react
Back bend to make a moment all about you
You twist situations to make everything about yourself
Guess you couldn't bare to see me shine
I suppose you couldn't stand to see me succeed
Three fingers, read between the lines
A gesture to hint that there's more to the story
I've cried on bathroom floors
I've cried alone on bathroom floors
And tried to be mature
I've made an effort to handle the situation maturely
You say I'm insecure
But you accuse me of being insecure
You're twenty-eight with a teenager
It's ironic that you're older, but still behave like a teenager
Sorry that I ever met you
I regret ever meeting you
Sorry, no one ever gets you
I'm sorry to realize that no one truly understands you
Sorry that I let you bring me down
I'm sorry for allowing you to affect me negatively
Now I write another chapter
Moving on, I'm creating a new chapter in my life
My own happy ever after
I'm creating my own happy ending
I'd thought forever, wow
I thought we'd be together forever, but
But I know better now
Now I know better
Na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Tessa Violet - Not Over You (subtitulado al español)
Me llamas
Di que has estado ocupado
Pero algo te hizo llegar
Y nos encontramos
Contarse historias
'Acerca de cómo hemos estado desde la última vez que hablamos
Nuestra fecha de café
Se mueve hacia la noche
Nos preguntamos cómo llegó tan tarde
Caminamos
Y sigo preguntando cómo
Ya no se mejor
Lo intentas pero no puedes sacudirme
Creo que nos estamos volviendo locos
Sigue diciendo que hemos terminado pero,
Bebé, no te he superado
Somos rápidos para atacar
Pero cuando nos separamos, te necesito de vuelta y
Me digo a mí mismo que estamos pero
Bebé, no te he superado (tú-oo-oo)
Tú eres el que tiene que ser y yo (oo-oo-oo)
Tengo que conseguirte a mi lado
Lo intentas pero no puedes sacudirme
Creo que nos estamos volviendo locos
Sigue diciendo que hemos terminado pero
Bebé, no te he superado Ooooh Aaaahh
Te pones tu ropa
Como si estuvieras tratando de impresionarme
Pero solo creo que estás demasiado vestido
Ruedas tus ojos
Porque mantengo mi habitación desordenada
Y crees que somos demasiado viejos para eso
Pero tengo que saber
Cómo puedes tuitear pero no puedes enviarme mensajes de texto
Dices que solo necesito control
Vamos alrededor
Y sigo preguntando cómo
Ya no se mejor
Lo intentas pero no puedes sacudirme
Creo que nos estamos volviendo locos
sigue diciendo que hemos terminado pero
Bebé, no te he superado
Somos rápidos para atacar
Pero cuando nos separamos, te necesito de vuelta y
Me digo a mí mismo que estamos pero
Bebé, no te he superado (tú-oo-oo)
Tú eres el que tiene que ser y yo (oo-oo-oo)
Tengo que conseguirte a mi lado
Lo intentas pero no puedes sacudirme
Creo que nos estamos volviendo locos
sigue diciendo que hemos terminado pero
Bebé, no te he superado
Ahora dices elegirlo, mi música favorita
Bailamos alrededor del piso de mi habitación
Corre a la tienda y recoge bocadillos para
Una pelicula que podemos ignorar
Lo intentas pero no puedes sacudirme
Creo que nos estamos volviendo locos
sigue diciendo que hemos terminado pero
Bebé, no te he superado
Somos rápidos para atacar
Pero cuando nos separamos, te necesito de vuelta y
Me digo a mí mismo que estamos pero
Bebé, no te he superado (tú-oo-oo)
Tú eres el que tiene que ser y yo (oo-oo-oo)
Tengo que conseguirte a mi lado
Lo intentas pero no puedes sacudirme
Creo que nos estamos volviendo locos
sigue diciendo que hemos terminado pero
Bebé, no te he superado Ooooh Aahhhh
Bebé, no te he superado Ooooh Aaaahhhh
Bebé, no te he superado
no se si la letra es la correcta XD
Gracias por leer!!!
