Overkill
Confronting Nocturnal Anxiety: "Overkill" Song Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
I can't get to sleep
I am unable to fall asleep
I think about the implications
I contemplate the potential consequences
Of diving in too deep
Thinking about getting too involved
And possibly the complications
Possibly considering the difficulties
Especially at night
Particularly during the night
I worry over situations
I stress over various scenarios
I know will be alright
I am confident that everything will be fine
Perhaps it's just imagination
Maybe it's just my imagination
Day after day it reappears
Repeated concern surfaces every day
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
My heartbeat reflects fear each night
Ghosts appear and fade away
Apparitions manifest and disappear
Alone between the sheets
Isolated and troubled in bed
Only brings exasperation
Being alone only brings frustration
It's time to walk the streets
It's time to go outside and experience desperation
Smell the desperation
Sensing the despair in the air
At least there's pretty lights
City lights provide some solace
And though there's little variation
Although there's little change
It nullifies the night
The lights negate the darkness
From overkill
Resulting from excessive concern
Day after day it reappears
Concern repeats daily
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Nightly, my heartbeat reveals fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts manifest and disappear
Come back another day
Come back on another day
I can't get to sleep
Again, I can't fall asleep
I think about the implications
I ponder the potential consequences
Of diving in too deep
Contemplating getting too involved
And possibly the complications
Possibly considering the difficulties
Especially at night
Particularly during the night
I worry over situations that
I worry about situations that
I know will be alright
I am confident will be fine
It's just overkill
It's just excessive and unnecessary concern
Day after day it reappears
Concern repeats daily
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Nightly, my heartbeat reveals fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts manifest and disappear
Ghosts appear and fade away
-Ghosts appear and fade away
