Is it Over Now?
The Perishers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It’s my heart you take
It’s my heart you’re dealing with
And it’s my heart you’ll break
It’s my heart you’re taking
It’s breaking bit by bit
It’s my heart you’re dealing with
If you’d feel like I feel
And if you’d know what I know
I don’t think you’d ever play me
I know you’d never play me
It’s my heart you’re stealing
It’s my heart you take
It’s my heart you’re dealing with
And it’s my heart you’ll break
If you’d feel like I feel
And if you’d know what I know
I don’t think you’d ever play me
I know you’d never play me
I don’t think you’d ever play me
I know you’d never play me
The Perishers’ “Is it Over Now?” is a hauntingly beautiful song that touches on the vulnerability that comes with loving someone who may not reciprocate those feelings. The lyrics describe the singer’s fear and apprehension over giving their heart to someone who may not care for it as much as they do. The first verse sets the tone for the entire song, as the singer describes how their heart is being stolen and taken by the person they love. They are aware that this person may not treat their heart with the care it deserves, and in fact, they may end up breaking it.
The second verse continues the theme of vulnerability, as the singer explains how their heart is slowly breaking bit by bit. They are dealing with this pain on their own, and the person they love is completely unaware of this. They wish that their lover could feel what they feel and understand the depth of their emotions. If their lover truly grasped how deep their feelings were, they would never play with their heart or take it for granted.
The chorus repeats the same sentiments, emphasizing how important the singer’s heart is to them, and how it hurts to think about the possibility of their heart being broken. The final lines of the song are almost a plea, hoping that their lover truly care for their heart and won’t use it for their own selfish purposes.
Overall, “Is it Over Now?” is a deeply emotional song that explores the pain and vulnerability of loving someone who may not reciprocate those feelings. The lyrics are poignant and expressive, and the melody is hauntingly beautiful.

on Trouble Sleeping
I’m having trouble sleeping
不眠症な僕の
You’re jumping in my bed
ベットの上で君はジャンプして
Twisting in my head
頭の中をねじるんだ。
Leave me
そっとしておくれ。
I’m having trouble breathing
呼吸困難な僕の
You’re sitting on my chest
胸の上で君は座って
I sure could use the rest
確かに安息できたんだ。
Leave me
そっとしておくれ。
It’s you
君さ
Why’s it always you
何故いつも君なんだ
and never me?
何故僕じゃなく。
I’ve never dared to let
僕には勇気がなかった
my feelings free
心を解き放つ
Why’s it always you
何故いつも君なんだ
and never me?
何故僕じゃなく
I’ve never cared
構ってあげられない僕の
too much about honesty
あまりにも素直な気持ち。
