Five ten, one thirty-five
Brown hair with blue eyes
Light skin, twenty-six

Just drop me a line, I will get back to you all right in my sweet time
In a dry spell

Ideal: hot lips




Versatile, club kid
Eighteen to twenty-nine only need reply

Overall Meaning

The song Profile by Now It's Overhead is a reflection of the complexities of relationships in the digital age. The song opens with a detailed description of the singer's physical attributes, which is reminiscent of online dating platforms where users are often reduced to a list of physical characteristics. The line "status: negative" could be interpreted as a subtle nod to the impact of dating apps on self-esteem and mental health. The chorus of the song "In search of conversation, name withheld, just drop me a line, I will get back to you all right in my sweet time, in a dry spell" highlights the loneliness and desperation that comes with seeking companionship in a world that is becoming increasingly disconnected.


The second verse of the song consists of the singer stating their ideal partner, "hot lips", "versatile, club kid", but with the caveat that only those between the ages of 18 to 29 need reply. This could be interpreted as the singer's fear of missing out on youth or an unwillingness to invest in a long-term relationship.


Now It's Overhead's Profile is a haunting commentary on the impact of technology on personal relationships. The music and lyrics work together to create a sense of isolation and detachment that is prevalent in modern life. The song's production values, including the use of reverb and delay, create a sense of space that reinforces the song's themes.

Sobriquet Nation

I listen to this song all the time. Addicted to it.
Such a sensual vocal.
The way the bassline is produced reminds me a little of Rock On David Essex.

Travis T

This song is a masterpiece.
