Overcome
rock against bush vol.1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Must add up to something
Our bodies have been trained to keep it all in
But our hearts still hold on
Some say to release it, forget about your past
Instead we count the cost, it's part of us
That doesn't mean that we cannot move on
No matter what it is we've faced
It's now part of us (part of us)
We can overcome
Why rid of fuel that can make us stronger
When properly put behind us? (put behind us)
And in the same way that
Everything good in life can be taken away
So can all this pain
No matter what it is we've faced
It's now part of us (part of us)
No matter what we've faced in this life
We can overcome
Trying to forget is a burden we can never bear
When facing trials openly
There's nothing left to hide
New paths of strength come alive
We can overcome
No matter what it is we've faced
It's now part of us (part of us)
No matter what we've faced in this life
We can overcome
The song "Overcome" is an anthem of resilience and a call to embrace the hardships that have shaped us as individuals. The opening lines acknowledge that everyone experiences pain and adversity in life, but these struggles can add up to something significant if we allow them to. The second and third lines recognize the default response to pain - the urge to hide or repress it - but the resilient spirit of the song moves beyond this, suggesting that the heart remains open to the possibility of overcoming the obstacles that have defined us.
The song then goes on to implore us to use our pain as fuel for making us stronger. It acknowledges that forgetting the past is not always possible or desirable, and that the things we have faced are now a part of us. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing that no matter what we have faced in life, we can overcome it. The bridge offers a path forward: by facing trials openly, we can unlock new paths of strength.
In summary, "Overcome" is a song about accepting the struggles that we face in life and using them as motivation to become stronger. It encourages us to face our trials openly and embrace the lessons that they provide, rather than burying them or trying to forget them.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!
This is my favorite SK song and I was so frustrated that the ONLY version I could find on YouTube was glitchy as hell and the other version was a drum cover.

Thank you so much for uploading!
I just went on the same journey you outlined in your description after remembering the song randomly after several years of not listening to it x)

FWIW, this song was on the bonus 7" included with the Vinyl of One Beat when it came out, which is probably why it's lumped in with that album.
