Over

In 'Over,' Honors delves into the emotional complexities of a relationship that has run its course. The song's lyrics reflect a sense of resignation and acceptance that the love once shared has faded. The opening lines, 'I try to feel it inside but the fire that we had / It's all gone,' set the tone for the entire song, indicating that the passion and connection that once existed are no longer present. This sentiment is further emphasized by the metaphor of the hourglass, symbolizing the inevitable passage of time and the end of their relationship.

The chorus reveals a deeper layer of self-awareness and guilt. The repeated lines, 'But you know I would / But you know I would only let you down,' suggest that the narrator recognizes their own shortcomings and the inevitability of disappointing their partner. This acknowledgment of personal flaws adds a layer of vulnerability to the song, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced the end of a relationship. The phrase 'You know I'm gonna break your fading heart' underscores the painful reality that the love is not only fading but also that the narrator is aware of their role in its demise.

The song also touches on themes of change and the passage of time. The lines 'You know I'm gonna change / Things just don't stay the same no more, no more' highlight the inevitability of change and the difficulty of maintaining a relationship in the face of evolving circumstances. The imagery of 'white light' and 'desire blocking out the sun' suggests moments of intense emotion and passion, but these moments are fleeting and ultimately unsustainable. The song concludes with a sense of finality, repeating 'But it's over, it's over, it's over now,' driving home the point that the relationship has reached its end.
