Over The Line
Surviving the Struggle: Overcoming Life's Challenges in 'Over The Line' by O.K. Company
Lyrics
Over the line, one step at a time
Embarking on a challenging journey, progressing cautiously
Bills and relationships, these nine-to-fives
Balancing financial responsibilities and personal connections associated with regular work hours
They're all trying to kill me
Feeling overwhelmed by external pressures, possibly from work or relationships
But I'm still alive
Despite challenges, maintaining resilience and continuing to exist
Callin my number, ain't no need to fight
Receiving calls or attention, advocating for a non-confrontational approach
White lines on the highway, Saturday night
Referencing travel on the road, perhaps seeking an escape on a Saturday night
I ain't gonna be the one to say I needed more
Declining to express dissatisfaction, but acknowledging a desire for more in life
But I know I deserve better than more closed doors
Believing in personal worth and deserving better opportunities than faced with closed doors
Over the line, one step at a time
Continuing the challenging journey, reiterating the step-by-step approach
Bills and relationships, these nine-to-fives
Reaffirming the struggle with both financial and relationship aspects of a conventional job
They're all trying to kill me
Perceiving external pressures as life-threatening, emphasizing the severity of the situation
But I'm still alive
Persisting through difficulties and maintaining vitality despite external challenges
Love ain't always the answer
Casting doubt on the efficacy of love as a solution to life's problems
If love is just an aiming to please,
Suggesting that love, if merely aimed at pleasing others, may not be sufficient
Maybe love looks more like
Redefining the concept of love, proposing a more proactive and self-empowering stance
Getting off your knees
Emphasizing the need to stand up for oneself rather than submitting passively
Over the line, one step at a time
Repeating the theme of gradual progress and navigating challenges step by step
Bills and relationships, these nine-to-fives
Recalling the struggle with financial obligations and relationship complexities
They're all trying to kill me
Reiterating the sense of being under threat from various life demands
But I'm still alive
Asserting resilience and survival despite the persistent challenges
Alive, yeah
Affirming continued existence and vitality
Over the line, one step at a time
Continuing the metaphorical journey, emphasizing the incremental approach
Bills and relationships, these nine-to-fives
Revisiting the struggle with financial responsibilities and relationship dynamics
They're all trying to kill me
Expressing the perceived threat from external pressures
But I'm still alive
Reaffirming resilience and survival despite ongoing challenges
Alive
Stating and emphasizing the continued state of being alive
