Overkill
Navigating the Night: Unraveling the Depths of 'Overkill' by Chris Trapper
Lyrics
I can't get to sleep
I struggle to fall asleep.
I think about the implications
I reflect on the potential consequences.
Of diving in too deep
Concerns about going too deep emotionally.
And possibly the complications
Anticipating potential difficulties.
Especially at night
Particularly troubled during the night.
I worry over situations
Anxiety about upcoming situations.
I know will be alright
Despite worries, a belief that everything will be okay.
Perhaps it's just imagination
Considering that concerns may be a product of imagination.
Day after day it reappears
Recurring worries persistently.
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Heartbeat reflects ongoing fear at night.
Ghosts appear and fade away
Apparition of fears that come and go.
Alone between the sheets
Feeling lonely in bed.
Only brings exasperation
Frustration arises from being alone.
It's time to walk the streets
Deciding to go out into the world.
Smell the desperation
Sensing desperation in the air.
At least there's pretty lights
Finding solace in the beauty of city lights.
And though there's little variation
Although the surroundings may not vary much, it helps cope with the night's intensity.
It nullifies the night from overkill
City lights mitigate the overwhelming nature of the night.
Day after day it reappears
The recurring worries persist day after day.
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Nightly fear reflected in a pounding heartbeat.
Ghosts appear and fade away
Fleeting fears come and go like ghosts.
Come back another day
An appeal for the fears to dissipate and return another day.
I can't get to sleep
Still struggling to fall asleep.
I think about the implications
Reflecting on the potential consequences once again.
Of diving in too deep
Reiteration of concerns about going too deep.
And possibly the complications
Revisiting thoughts on potential complications.
Especially at night
Continued anxiety during the night.
I worry over situations
Worrying about upcoming situations persists.
I know will be alright
Despite worries, the belief in a positive outcome remains.
It's just overkill
Labeling the excessive worry as 'overkill.'
Day after day it reappears
Repetition of persistent worries day after day.
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Nightly fear reflected in the heartbeat persists.
Ghosts appear and fade away
Fleeting fears continue to appear and fade away.
Ghosts appear and fade away
Repetition emphasizing the transient nature of fears.
Ghosts appear and fade away
Continued imagery of ghost-like fears appearing and fading.
