Get over Yourself
Rising Above: Unveiling the Layers of Self in Oliver White's 'Get over Yourself'
Lyrics
Filters in your face dictate
Commenting on the impact of societal norms and judgments reflected in one's appearance.
Your weight of worth, all the memories that dissipate
Referencing the diminishing value of memories and experiences over time.
Circumstance, oh what a chance
Reflecting on the role of circumstances and opportunities in life.
Your static mind and your heart that can't understand
Highlighting a rigid mindset and an emotionally distant heart.
Oh, the way you talk tells me way too much
Observing that the way someone talks reveals a lot about them.
I know the kind of person that you'll never be
Expressing familiarity with the type of person the individual will never become.
And I can't help but wonder what we earn
Pondering on the value or impact of one's actions and contributions to the world.
What do you give to the world?
Raising a question about the positive contributions given to the world.
Oh, the way your eyes stare back at mine
Noticing the expression in the person's eyes and recognizing their nature.
I know the kind of person that you'll never be
Reiterating familiarity with the type of person the individual will never become.
For the world
Referencing making a positive impact on the world.
Get over yourself
Encouraging the individual to overcome self-centered attitudes.
Do we all have the right to call
Questioning the entitlement to label and possess personal thoughts.
Our selfish brains our rightful homes?
Reflecting on self-centeredness and the ownership of individual perspectives.
There are moments I become black and white
Describing moments of clear moral choices and disdain for those who avoid compromise.
And I scoff at all the souls that don't want to feel a compromise
Criticizing those who resist finding middle ground in situations.
Oh, the way you talk tells me way too much
Repeating the idea that speech reveals significant information about a person.
I know the kind of person that you'll never be
Reiterating familiarity with the type of person the individual will never become.
And I can't help but wonder what we earn
Pondering on the value or impact of one's actions and contributions to the world.
What do you give to the world?
Raising a question about the positive contributions given to the world.
The way your eyes stare back at mine
Noticing the expression in the person's eyes and recognizing their nature.
I know the kind of person that you'll never be
Reiterating familiarity with the type of person the individual will never become.
For the world
Referencing making a positive impact on the world.
Get over yourself
Encouraging the individual to overcome self-centered attitudes.
