"Over"was a song that was never intended to make it on our record. It was one of those happy accidents. I had the idea for the verse kicking around for a few weeks, but could never really get it together enough to bring it to the band. One day while we were deep into recording drums at Third Stone Studios, I approached Kenny and Gavin with a finished chorus. Between the three of us we hashed out something that would be recorded early the next day. Kenny and I jammed out an arrangement that made sense and recorded it in about thirty minutes. Marko mentioned that it should have a break in rhythm going into its last chorus. It sounded like a cool idea so we incorporated it into the song. This is one of those songs that is purely a studio track. It was never played by the band all at once. We all had a shot recording what we felt the song needed. In the end when we mixed it we ended up stripping the song down to it's rawest form. This is the first rock song our band has ever made like this. Its lyrics are unique in that they reflect a first person fictional relationship between two people where the feelings are not mutual. I came up with the idea based on a few "strange" incidents where someone has gotten too close to us as individuals based on anything but reality. I think of it as the stalker song.
