Most Of The Time
Turnover Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can find me drifting slowly sinking beneath the sea
Try to catch my breath, a silent struggle drowned in my apathy
Yeah I'm still caught up in all the things I know I'll never be
Erase me

You won't find me
Because I don't know where I am myself you see
I've been waiting for so long and hoping that I'd see
A sign to point me in the right direction
Where I am the signs have been torn down
No I won't be found

Feeling fragile, cast aside these walls surround you
Losing touch with what surround you, I just don't feel like myself anymore.
Can't even sleep. Take my dreams they're yours to keep
Take my head and hold me down, I'm in too deep I can't get out

Running in circles and falling in hopes on the way to where I'm trying to go
Most of the time that I think there's an end I come to find out that it's not even close.

You can find me drifting slowly sinking beneath the sea
Try to catch my breath, a silent struggle drowned in my apathy
Yeah I'm still caught up in all the things I know I'll never be
Erase me

Most of the time, I'm invisible
Most of the time, I'm between the cracks
Most of the time, I'm wandering
Most of the time, I'm not coming back

Most of the time, I'm hopelessly lost
Most of the time, I'm between the tracks




Most of the time, you'll find me drifting
Most of the time, I'm never coming back

Overall Meaning

The song "Most of The Time" by Turnover talks about feeling lost and detached from oneself. The lyrics contain a lot of metaphors to describe this feeling, such as "drifting slowly sinking beneath the sea," "losing touch with what surrounds you," and "running in circles and falling in hopes on the way to where I'm trying to go." The singer of the song is struggling to breathe and is drowning in apathy, feeling like they are sinking deeper into an unknown abyss.


Despite the struggles, the singer is also searching for a way out. They are looking for a sign to point them in the right direction, but it seems like where they are, the signs have been torn down. In their attempt to reach the end, they often discover that it is not even close. Instead, they feel invisible, lost, and wandering, never to return to where they were before.


The repeated phrase "erase me" at the end of each verse conveys a sense of despair and hopelessness, as if the singer is asking to be wiped away entirely. Overall, the song captures the feeling of being disconnected from oneself and the world around them, searching for a way out but not finding it.

LYRICS

[Verse 1]
You can find me
Drifting slowly, sinking beneath the sea
Try to catch my breath
A silent struggle drowned in my apathy
Yeah, I’m still caught up
In all the things I know I’ll never be
Erase me

[Chorus]
You won’t find me
Because I don’t know where I am myself, you see
I’ve been waiting for so long and hoping that I’d see
A sign to point me in the right direction
Where I am, the signs have been torn down
No, I won’t be found

[Verse 2]
Feeling fragile, cast aside, these walls surround you
Losing touch with what’s around you
I just don’t feel like myself anymore
Can’t even sleep
Take my dreams, they’re yours to keep
Take my head and hold me down
I’m in too deep, I can’t get out

[Bridge]
Running in circles and falling in hopes
On the way to where I’m trying to go
Most of the time that I think there’s an end
I come to find out that it’s not even close

[Verse 3]
You can find me
Drifting slowly sinking beneath the sea
Try to catch my breath
A silent struggle drowned in my apathy
Yeah, I’m still caught up
In all the things I know I’ll never be
Erase me

[Outro]
Most of the time, I’m invisible
Most of the time, I’m between the cracks
Most of the time, I’m wandering
Most of the time, I’m not coming back
Most of the time, I’m hopelessly lost
Most of the time, I’m between the cracks
Most of the time, you’ll find me drifting
Most of the time, I’m never coming back

Run For Cover Records so true

@NigelGrab

this band is so underrated. people need to get onto this.
magnolia is a fucking beautiful album, and deserves so much love.

@HEYimROBOTIC

+NigelGrab i love magnolia so much, at one point I was listening to it at least once a day

@NigelGrab

+Brock same, I'm revisiting the band now and this album is on at least a couple of times a week these days for me. I can't believe they play nothing from Magnolia live anymore, and me being in Australia even if they do tour here I'll probably never get to see them play any of these songs :(

@ShadyRapture

+ReverseMyFate I don't understand why people are complaining about their setlists. The new album is absolutely incredible. The genre needs stuff like Hyperview and Peripheral Vision, just like Citizen's album Youth wasn't like Young States.

@shomest2239

+NigelGrab Daydreaming has got to be their best song.

@NigelGrab

Daydreaming is a great song. I'm seeing these guys in Melbourne when they come with Basement but despite how much I enjoy Peripheral Vision it still sucks big time they won't even play a single old song live anymore :( sad I'll never get to see Sasha or anything from Magnolia live.
