It's All Over Now
Wilt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

By now I'm shaking like I'm ready
'Cause the waiting has me petrified
And every second makes the muscles
In my belly turn to jelly pie
But I know that you've been worried
Just like I thought you would
And every second of the day
Has been passing off like my fatherhood

I trust you know I'll hold you up
No matter what
And by the time the bridge is crossed

And Betty, I was hoping every day
But it's all over now
And everything is coming back around
And I've changed anyhow

I know I'm bluffing and I'm fluffing all the lines
I had rehearsed today
And I'm aware of all the pleasures that you've got
Will never go away
But I know that you've been worried
Just like I thought you would
And every second of the day
Has been passing off like my fatherhood

I trust you know I'll hold you up
No matter what
And by the time the bridge is crossed

And Betty, I was hoping every day
But it's all over now
And everything is coming back around
And I've changed anyhow
And Betty, I was hoping every day
But it's all over now
And everything is coming back around
And I've changed anyhow

And all the shaking and the sweating
Now my dear, is at a bitter end
And I will never make the same mistake again
I guarentee, my friend

I trust you know I'll hold you up
No matter what
And by the time the bridge is crossed

And Betty, I was hoping every day
But it's all over now
And everything is coming back around
And I've changed anyhow
Betty, I was hoping every day
But it's all over now




And everything is coming back around
And I've changed anyhow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wilt's song "It's All Over Now" explore feelings of nervousness, anxiety, and uncertainty in the face of an impending change or difficult situation. The singer admits to feeling shaky and petrified as they wait for something to happen, but also expresses confidence in their ability to support their partner through whatever comes their way. Throughout the song, there is a sense of tension between the desire to hold onto what is familiar and comfortable, and the need to move forward and take risks.


The chorus of the song contains the repeated refrain, "Betty, I was hoping every day / But it's all over now / And everything is coming back around / And I've changed anyhow." This could be interpreted in a number of ways, but one possibility is that Betty represents a past relationship, and the singer is acknowledging that it's time to let go and move on. At the same time, they are also recognizing that change is inevitable and that they have evolved as a person since the time they were involved with Betty.


The bridge of the song contains the lines, "I trust you know I'll hold you up / No matter what / And by the time the bridge is crossed." This could be seen as a metaphor for overcoming a difficult obstacle or challenge (the bridge), with the support of a loved one. The final lines of the song, "And all the shaking and the sweating / Now my dear, is at a bitter end / And I will never make the same mistake again / I guarentee, my friend," suggest a sense of relief and resolution, as the singer emerges from a difficult period with a newfound sense of understanding and commitment.

The ONE Wilt song that unquestionably displays how much Cormac missed writing Kerbdog tunes.
