Overtake You Lyrics
Time
It's eating me alive
Unable to rewind
Sink deeper while I'm climbing
Never to arrive
I gave you everything
But still you need to feed
And underneath it all I'm screaming out
Just carry on
Just prove me wrong
I know that I'm dying right now
And it seems that I'm so far gone
But not for long
I'll just be strong and keep knowing
That now I will overtake you
Just one that you can use
One risk but you can't lose
Play the victim while abusing
Anyone you choose
Painful consequence
Of standing on your lies
I'm barely breathing but I'm screaming out
Just carry on
Just prove me wrong
I know that I'm dying right now
And it seems that I'm so far gone
But not for long
I'll just be strong and keep knowing
That now I will overtake you
I know that I'm dying right now
And it seems that I'm so far gone
(Overtake you)
I'll just be strong and keep knowing
That now I will overtake
You'll come to get me, but you'll end up dead
You'll come to get me, but you'll end up dead
You'll come to get me, but you'll end up dead
You'll come to get me, but you'll end up dead
Just carry on
Just prove me wrong
I know that I'm dying right now
And it seems that I'm so far gone
But not for long
I'll just be strong and keep knowing
That now I will overtake you
You'll come to get me, but you'll end up dead
You'll come to get me, but you'll end up dead
(Overtake you)
You'll come to get me, but you'll end up dead
(Overtake you, overtake you)
You'll come to get me
(Overtake you)
You'll come to get me
It's eating me alive
Unable to rewind
Sink deeper while I'm climbing
Never to arrive
But still you need to feed
And underneath it all I'm screaming out
Just prove me wrong
I know that I'm dying right now
And it seems that I'm so far gone
But not for long
I'll just be strong and keep knowing
That now I will overtake you
One risk but you can't lose
Play the victim while abusing
Anyone you choose
Of standing on your lies
I'm barely breathing but I'm screaming out
Just prove me wrong
I know that I'm dying right now
And it seems that I'm so far gone
But not for long
I'll just be strong and keep knowing
That now I will overtake you
And it seems that I'm so far gone
(Overtake you)
I'll just be strong and keep knowing
That now I will overtake
You'll come to get me, but you'll end up dead
You'll come to get me, but you'll end up dead
You'll come to get me, but you'll end up dead
Just prove me wrong
I know that I'm dying right now
And it seems that I'm so far gone
But not for long
I'll just be strong and keep knowing
That now I will overtake you
You'll come to get me, but you'll end up dead
(Overtake you)
You'll come to get me, but you'll end up dead
(Overtake you, overtake you)
You'll come to get me
(Overtake you)
You'll come to get me

This is a great song. I guess it could be called a great "battle song" for the fight with the inner demons of addiction. I kind of wish they would mention God, and how he's helping "overtake you" ... but I guess their kind of a cross-over band, and they don't want to seem too cheesey or something... I guess Red's just hoping we'll assume he's getting help from God. (because we can't win this fight alone)
why has no one commented on this song? this has got to be one of the best off the album.
Does anyone else get the feeling that this could also apply to overtaking time as well as struggles in life?
you know, the fact that we all eventually die at the hands of time but that is not the our end thanks to God
i'm actually really glad they never mention god in their songs. that way people like me can love their music too. Red is one of my favorite bands but i am barley religious and do not like bands who mention god. they can have the god implication, i don't care about that, but i take this song as an terrible fight with a friend that made them into enemies, and he wants to "overtake you" and "you'll come to get me but you'll end up dead". i dunno, that's how i see it.
great song, the best on the album
its a message, oh and how red knows how to send a message hey, they know how to use their words to send it so thats what they do... its quite powerfull. i like it, and ima take a leaf out of their book :)
