Over You
Eternal Panic: Unveiling the Heartache in 'Over You'
Lyrics
And every time I see your face, it makes me want to run and hide
Feeling the urge to avoid and escape when encountering the person's face.
And every time I hear your voice, I slip away inside
Experiencing a retreat into oneself upon hearing the person's voice.
Chorus:
Expressing a persistent sense of panic and longing associated with the person.
And I panic forever
-Panic forever, over you
-And I panic forever
-Panic forever, over you
-It takes away the heart, then numbs the mind so gently
Describing the emotional impact as it first affects the heart and then numbs the mind gently.
The awful things dissolve, but not your face
Acknowledging the dissolution of negative emotions but not the memories of the person's face.
And I panic forever (when I see you)
Reiterating the perpetual panic and the desire to move on from the person.
Panic forever, (I want to be) over you
-And I panic forever (when I see you)
-Panic forever, (I want to be) over you
-Why do you do this to me?
Pose a question about the reason behind the emotional distress caused by the person.
They can’t fix what they don’t see
Highlighting the difficulty in fixing or addressing unseen emotional turmoil.
A thought returns to me, but it’s only half of you
Recalling a fragmented memory associated with the person.
What exists is never real if it wasn’t with you
Suggesting that only experiences with the person are considered real.
And I panic forever (when I see you)
Repeating the theme of perpetual panic and the desire to overcome the emotions tied to the person. The plea not to be lost and the request for completion.
Panic forever, (I want to be) over you
-(Please don’t lose me. Will you complete me?)
-And I panic forever (when I see you)
-Panic forever, (I want to be) over you
-(Please don’t lose me. Will you complete me?)
-Why do you do this to me?
Repeating the question about the cause of emotional distress and emphasizing the invisibility of the internal struggle.
They can’t fix what they don’t see
Reiterating the challenge of addressing unseen emotional issues.
