Over You
The Dwarves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rejected and evicted
Over you, how could I ever get over you?
All hail to the victim
They've been rejected and evicted
Over you

I've never been promoted
And I've always been so loaded
I've been neglected and conflicted
Just like I was the dope and you kicked it




Rejected and evicted
Over you, how could I ever get over you?

Overall Meaning

The Dwarves' song Over You is a melancholic yet defiant expression of heartbreak sung from the perspective of someone who has been rejected by a former lover. The song explores the various ways in which the singer has suffered due to this rejection, from feeling neglected and conflicted to being denied opportunities for advancement. There is a sense of bitterness in the lyrics that suggests the singer is struggling to come to terms with the end of the relationship.


Despite this, there is also a sense of resilience in the song, as the singer asserts their independence and refuses to be defined by their rejection. The repetition of the phrase "Over you" serves as a kind of mantra, as if the act of saying it over and over again will eventually help the singer move on from their pain.


Overall, the song is a raw and honest exploration of the aftermath of a break-up, capturing both the pain and the hope that can come from such an experience.

Gdamn, they used scratching? I mean, I like turntablism, it's just surprising when it pops up unexpectedly like how Slipknot's DJ Starscream aka Sid 0 used to sneak some dnb amens and scratching into tracks.
