It Ain't Over
Type-ZERO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because the problems that I face on the day to day don't go away.
Life it ain't so civilized when it comes down to survive
And I've had the ones that I thought as family push me to the side.
I'm still in debt I can't pay my rent, my teeth are rotting in my head.
I may be getting old, but it ain't over yet.
I got so much left to say, I can't believe I'm here again
Right back where I started from with an ego left to mend.
But the problems that you hope to fix won't go away with me.
I'm uninsured I'm overdrawn I'm as broke as one can get.
I may be getting old, but it ain't over yet.
What happens when the dreams of fame and fortune don't come true.
And work replaces everything in life you live to do.
When the romance is gone,
The road gets long and the numbers are all you've got
And the hour that you spent on stage doesn't add up to what you thought.
So you can fill my shoes with a fresh new face
You can talk all the shit you want,
But you can't replace my dignity or the feelings in my heart.
Life can be unfair sometimes it's a fact I've had to accept.
But in everything that I've given up I've gained my self respect.
The lyrics to Type-ZERO's song "It Ain't Over" convey a sense of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The singer acknowledges the challenges and difficulties they encounter in their daily life, but refuses to let those obstacles define them or bring them down. Despite feeling old and worn out, they still harbor a rebellious spirit and maintain a sense of anger and angst.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of betrayal and disappointment, as the singer expresses their disappointment in people they once considered family who have turned their backs on them. They acknowledge their financial struggles, being in debt and unable to pay rent, and the physical toll it has taken on their health, with their teeth rotting. However, they emphasize that despite all these hardships, they still have so much to say and an untamed spirit that keeps them going.
The second verse reflects on the complexities of relationships, expressing a desire for friendship and understanding, but recognizing that problems cannot simply be fixed by someone else. The singer laments being uninsured, overdrawn, and completely broke, but maintains an indomitable spirit and refuses to let age or circumstances dictate their future.
