Over And Over
The Bottom Line Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they don't seem to end the same
I'm not one to complain
But nothing seems to change these days
'Cos we live, we obey
Repeat what they say
God damn we're living like groundhog day
And i'm through with these trends
Take me right back to the start again
Or we'll go on and on and on until we're gone
Let's go back to the start
And watch it fall apart
I'll tell you about it over and over
And if this is the end
Well we can just pretend that we'll be here
Over and over again
And people tell me they've got problems
But problems are mistakes unresolved
And I know what they'll say
That we'll never change
You'll wait for the moment we fall again
But we'll go on and on until we get it wrong
On and on I knew it all along
Let's go back to the start
And watch it fall apart
I'll tell you about it over and over
And if this is the end
Well we can just pretend that we'll be here
Over and over again
If I had a chance to just re-write
The times in my life where I didn't try
And find a way to list out all my wrongs
I'd erase the doubts that I've had all along
And i'll be there
Where we're falling apart
Yeah, i'll be there where we're falling apart
Where we're falling apart, where we're falling apart
Where we're falling apart
Let's go back to the start
And watch it fall apart
I'll tell you about it over and over
Let's go back to the start
And watch it fall apart
I'll tell you about it over and over
And if this is the end
Well we can just pretend that we'll be here
Over and over again
Over again
The Bottom Line’s song Over and Over seems to be expressing the frustration of feeling stuck in life and wanting to break free from the routine. The opening lines set the tone of the song by questioning the repetitiveness of life and how different it is to the outcomes we expect. The next few lines express how one is tired of conforming to societal norms and repeating the same thing over and over again, ultimately comparing this feeling to the movie Groundhog Day, where the singer repeats the same day over and over again. The chorus then emphasizes the desire to go back to the start and change the course of life.
In the second verse, the lyrics clarify that while everyone has problems, it often comes down to unresolved mistakes. The repetition of "on and on" emphasizes the idea that we will continue to make mistakes until something changes, but that we often already know the outcome. The bridge expresses the desire to rewrite the times in life where we didn't try and erase any self-doubt that may have held us back.
Overall, the song seems to be about taking control of one's life and breaking free from societal expectations. It encourages taking chances and making changes to create a life that is not just repeating the same mistakes over and over again.
