| Three Days Grace – Over and Over Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I've a friend who's currently experiencing this song, pretty much. He's completely in love with a girl (he won't say the words that he loves her though, because he doesn't completely know if it's love or a simple crush, but he's incredibly infatuated with her), can't help but think about her most of the time, and has tried to not think about her, but it doesn't work and he feels like shit when he tries pushing her out of his head. | |

I personally find it hard to interpret a song unless one has actually experienced what is spoken about in the song. For instance, I couldn't find the meaning in this song until I myself experienced it. This song, to me, is obviously about depression and suicide. "Now it seems I'm fading All my dreams are not worth saving I've done my share of waiting And I've still got nowhere left to go So I wait for you to Take me all the way" The first verse, it sounds like the speaker is talking to their chosen instrument of suicide, such as a razor blade, or drugs if they're trying to overdose. They've made the cut, if that's what they're doing, and they've started bleeding out. They're beginning to fade, and they don't see themselves as being worth saving from their eventual self-inflicted death. They've waited long enough and can't see their future ending up being better than the present. They're waiting for their final moments, for the blade to "take [them] all the way". "Seems you're wanting me to stay But my dreams would surely waste away I still have no where to go" Now they're talking to someone else, someone who cares for them, and doesn't want them to go. This person want's the speaker to stay here, and not die, not give up their life, because it could get better, but the speaker simply says that continuing life while dreaming for better days would end up being a waste, and they still don't see life becoming better. "Push me under Pull me further Take me all the way Take me all the way" Now they're talking to the blade again, letting the wave of death hit them, push them down, letting death pull them towards it, so they can finally reach it. So they can finally leave the hell they live through. "Now it seems you're leaving But we've only just begun And you've still got nowhere left to go" Now, they've started bleeding out, but for some reason, they end up surviving. Their death begins to leave them, they some how are pulled back into life, whether it be intervention from a loved one who finds them and rescues them, or some other reason. However, they don't feel grateful. They're telling death that they've only just started, that death doesn't have anyone else to take but them, and that they're still going to die. "And I've been waiting for so long" They've been awaiting death for so long now. And yet death has eluded them. Either that, or they're saying that they'd been waiting for so long, and now death has finally come. They've given in to death, and they have breathed their last breath. Well, that was long, but that's how I interpret the song. I wouldn't say it helped me through tough times, because it didn't really help, but it helps to describe what I've gone through. I haven't actually attempted suicide, but I wanted to. I wanted to end it so bad, but didn't go through with it. This started a month and a half ago, and I've only just started feeling slightly better. The suicidal thoughts started a month and a half ago, but the whole thing has been plaguing me for a long time now. |

I know the song is about Daron's brother, but the way I interpret it is sitting around, realizing for the first time, you are truly alone. You have people you care about, and can trust, but due to some kind of event, you no longer see them as often or even at all anymore. And when that happens, you realize, you're alone. I see it this way because just a few days ago was the last time I will see a lot of people, people I care about, people who care about me, people I trust. I don't trust very many people, I don't trust my family at all, and out of people I can trust with some of my darkest secrets, I will only ever definitely see two of them again, and only for the next few months. Then, I don't know if I will ever see them again. One of the people I won't see again, helped me, and is still helping me, through depression. For a time, I wanted to kill myself. I cut myself quite frequently, and he helped me to get out of it. Granted, sometimes I still want to, since it's only been little more than half a week since I stopped, but still. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be alive right now. Another of my friends, I doubt I'll be able to see her again. She helped me come to terms with exactly who I am, and if it weren't for her, I'd still be suffering from confusion as to who I am. She's amazing, and I love her so much for it. But, after just a few days ago, I've realized how alone I really am now, without her or my other friend. So, there's my rant about the song, what it means to me, and a bunch of other things that nobody probably cares about. |
