Over & Over

Reignwolf's 'Over & Over' delves into the repetitive and often harsh cycles of life, using vivid and sometimes dark imagery to convey a sense of entrapment and struggle. The song opens with references to 'animals in the woods' and being 'stuck outside,' setting a tone of isolation and vulnerability. This imagery is further compounded by the lines 'everyone, analyze every note and criticize,' suggesting a world where every action is scrutinized, adding to the feeling of being trapped in a relentless cycle.

The chorus, repeating 'over and over again,' emphasizes the monotony and inescapability of these struggles. The lyrics 'learn to lie, learn to cheat, razor blades, hard to eat' paint a grim picture of the coping mechanisms people might adopt to survive in such a harsh environment. The mention of 'waterfalls push and pull' could symbolize the constant ebb and flow of life's challenges, further reinforcing the theme of cyclical struggle.

In the latter part of the song, the imagery shifts to 'battlefields' and 'desert sun,' evoking a sense of ongoing conflict and relentless pressure. The lines 'like mom and dad behind the wheel, face your fears or face tears long' suggest generational struggles and the inevitability of facing one's fears. The repeated phrases 'sleep walking' and 'sleep talking' in the outro highlight a sense of numbness and disconnection, as if the protagonist is moving through life in a daze, unable to break free from the cycle.

'Reignwolf,' known for their raw and gritty sound, uses this song to explore themes of struggle, repetition, and the human condition. The powerful imagery and relentless repetition in the lyrics create a haunting portrayal of life's cyclical nature, making 'Over & Over' a compelling and thought-provoking piece.
