Over And Over
~Morcheeba~ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This might be hard to hear
If I could do it any other way I would
But I have to come clear
If I close my eyes, maybe it will all disappear
Disappointing clouds, maybe they won't interfere
All the faults and failures
Cowardly excuses get in the way of wanting more
Dawn of the day and we're done
Missing something
Now we can say it's over
Endings begin With an awful lot of maybes
Let's make a start at goodbye
You acted as you did
Like a selfish little bitch
A sad ghost spilling my blood on the carpet
The more I give the less I understand Why I'm here
No great surprise
Words I needed to hear
With all the signs
Breaking won't be severe
Anxious complex feelings Enter the frame as we
Stoke the fire but can't sustain the flame
To make it roar
Dawn of the day and we're done
Missing something
Now we can say it's over
Endings begin With an awful lot of maybes
Let's make a start at goodbye
Gone as the days with sun
Times a'wasting
Now we can say it's over
When we're caught
Between that rock and hard place
Let's make a start at goodbye
Between that rock and hard place
Make a start at goodbye
"Over and Over" by Morcheeba is a song about a relationship that has become stagnant and unfulfilling. The singer acknowledges that it is not easy to come to terms with the fact that the relationship is over and they must say goodbye. They express their disappointment and frustration with their partner's selfish behavior and inability to understand the singer's needs. The singer also reflects on their own faults and failures in the relationship, including their cowardly excuses that have hindered their ability to want more from the relationship. The singer ultimately comes to the realization that it is time to end things and move on, even though it may be a painful process.
The lyrics use vivid imagery to convey the singer's emotions and the state of the relationship. The idea of disappointing clouds interfering suggests a sense of hopelessness and frustration. The line, "A sad ghost spilling my blood on the carpet" create a powerful image of emotional pain and loss. The repetition of the phrase "dawn of the day" in the chorus reinforces the idea of a new beginning and the need to move forward with the breakup.

" Waking to these sounds again
I wonder how I'll sleep
Passing out is taking off into the stubborn deep
I'd like to meet a human who makes it all seem clear
To work out all these cycles and why I'm standing here
I'm falling
Over and over and over and over again now
Calling and over and over and over and over again now
Running through my life right now
I don't regret a thing
The things I do just make me laugh and make me wanna drink
I'd like to meet a mad man who makes it all seem sane
To work out all these troubles and what there is to gain
I'm falling
Over and over and over and over again now
Calling and over and over and over and over again now
Projecting what I want is always hard to know
But when it comes between my sights I'll let the damage show
I'd like to meet a space man, who's got it going on
Sailing through the stars at night 'til our world is gone
I'm falling
Over and over and over and over again now
Calling and over and over and over and over again now
Over and over and over and over again now
Calling and over and over and over and over again now "
