Over Now

It's about the band breaking up and making the ends meet. It's about getting what you know you deserve ("we pay our debt sometime"). This is a very mature song... BTW I love the aching guitar lines at the end... AWESOME. Jerry kicks some mad ass on this one.

One of my favorite aic songs. I love the unplugged version!

This is an excellent song, defintely one of AICs best. It's amazing how many great songs they had. As far as interpretation goes, I think it's just talking about taking responsibility for what you've done. But, taking responsibility for it doesn't right your wrong.

This is simply about completing your destiny and dying.

Hence at the begining of the song where the trumpet plays the first few lines of a Remembrance Day song, "The Last Post", and someone mumbles "Good Night".

Jerry knew deep down that Alice was going to be no more, just that he didn't know when.

It might be about the band breaking up. I prefer thinking they wrote this song knowing Layne would die prematurely. I think the one trumpet in the beginning is for the death of one great person, not a whole band.

Actually, its about drugs, just like all the other songs (sarcasm).

This song reminds me of living through you life know the things youve done will catch up with you like when they say "we pay our debts sometime" you finally pay but your at peace with it all.

Once while listening to this, I thought Jerry said "I saved your life somehow." I went back to listen to it, but the instruments cancelled out his voice. On the Unplugged version, it's still debateable, but I accepted "I seem alive somehow."

One of my favorite AIC songs. The Unplugged Version is so amazing. I think this song is about getting over past regrets and mistakes. The lyrics seem like someone is reminding him of his the mistakes he's made in his life and his response is, "Yes I accept my past, I haven't forgotten, but I've paid my dues. And it's over now."

Great song

Looking back at something that is over now..
