Over You
Freedom Found: Breaking the Chains of Heartache
Lyrics
My arms are not reaching to hold you
Expressing the physical distance and lack of embrace, suggesting a separation.
Cause you memory has stopped haunting me
The impact of the memories has diminished, no longer haunting the speaker.
My heart has quit aching and constantly breaking
Describing the relief from emotional pain, with the heart no longer aching or breaking.
For the first time in ages I'm free.
Feeling liberated and free after a long period of emotional turmoil.
This torch I've been carrying for you
The metaphor of a torch burning out signifies the end of intense feelings for the person.
Burned out a few seconds ago
Highlighting the recent cessation of the intense emotions associated with the torch.
Now I'm just a breeze in the calm maple tree
Depicting a calm and detached state, no longer consumed by the emotions for the person.
Outside your window, hello.
The speaker is now an insignificant presence outside the person's life, saying hello from a distance.
I'm over you, I'm over you
Emphasizing that the speaker has moved on from the person and the emotional baggage.
My prayers have been answered, my dreams have come true
Expressing relief and contentment, as prayers have been answered and dreams realized.
After long years of tryin' and gradually dying
Reflecting on the struggles and emotional pain endured over the years.
Right now I'm over you.
Conveying the current state of being over the person and the associated emotions.
I kept on believing you'd come back
Acknowledging the past hope of the person's return, which has now faded.
But I've spent my last night alone
Describing a sense of finality, having spent the last night alone without the person.
Oh, I see you sleeping and soon you'll be weeping
Observing the person peacefully sleeping and anticipating their emotional response upon learning about the speaker's departure.
When they call and they tell you I'm gone.
Suggesting a future event where others will inform the person of the speaker's absence.
So I think I'll just keep on wanting you
Expressing an ongoing desire for the person despite being emotionally detached.
Up into the cool morning sky
Imagining a serene morning sky while still holding a wish for the person's happiness.
I wish you complete happiness
Conveying well-wishes for the person's complete happiness despite the emotional journey.
I forgive you, God be with you, goodbye
Offering forgiveness and bidding farewell with a blessing from a distance.
I'm over you, I'm over you
Reiterating the emotional liberation and moving on from the person.
My prayers have been answered and my dreams have come true
Highlighting the fulfillment of prayers and dreams, reinforcing the sense of closure.
After long years of tryin' and finally flying
Summarizing the extended period of effort and emotional struggle before achieving freedom.
At last now now I'm over you
Affirming the current state of being completely over the person.
