Till It's Over

Tristam's 'Till It's Over' is a powerful anthem of resilience and defiance. The song's lyrics convey a message of unwavering determination and the refusal to be subdued by external forces. The repeated lines, 'We don't care what they say / We will be here all day / We'll stay here till it's over,' emphasize a steadfast commitment to standing one's ground, regardless of opposition or adversity. This sentiment is further reinforced by the declaration, 'It's not over till it's over,' suggesting an unyielding spirit that persists until the very end.

The imagery in the second verse, where the narrator describes falling to the ocean floor and rising with the water, serves as a metaphor for overcoming challenges and emerging stronger. The lines, 'They thought they could keep me down / Hold their breath and watch me drown / But all they did has pushed me higher,' illustrate a transformation from a position of vulnerability to one of empowerment. This transformation is a testament to the narrator's resilience and ability to turn adversity into a source of strength.

The song also touches on themes of perseverance through difficult times, as seen in the lines, 'Through the night and the rain / Through the time and the pain.' Despite the hardships, the narrator remains hopeful and resolute, believing that victory is inevitable. The final lines, 'We will win, we will chant / It's not over till it's over,' encapsulate the triumphant spirit of the song, celebrating the eventual triumph over obstacles and the power of collective determination.
