Get Over It
Navigating Life's Maze: Polly On The Wall's Anthem to Growing Up
Lyrics
When I was a kid
Reflecting on childhood experiences
I used to think that I would be someone
Aspiring to achieve significance or success
Bigger than myself
Desiring a purpose greater than oneself
But I'm stuck in my head
Feeling mentally trapped or conflicted
And I don't know how to get out alone
Expressing difficulty in overcoming personal challenges alone
Get over it
Repetition emphasizing the need to "Get over it"
Get over it
-Get over it
-Somehow
Expressing determination to overcome obstacles
I'm gonna do my best
Committing to one's best effort before making mistakes again
Before I mess it up again
-I'm gonna do my best
-Before I mess it up again
-You
Referring to someone specific or addressing oneself
Are only twenty years old
Highlighting the youth of the person being addressed
And yet you feel like you've lived a lifetime
Feeling a sense of having experienced a lot despite young age
But you're only five
Contrasting the age physically and emotionally
Yet you're seventeen at heart
Identifying with an older emotional age
Yeah you're only five
Embracing childlike freedom and innocence
Childish and free
-Don't know a god damn thing
Admitting lack of knowledge or understanding
No you don't know anything
-Get over it
Repetition emphasizing the need to "Get over it"
Get over it
-Get over it
-Somehow
Reiterating determination to overcome challenges
I'm gonna do my best
Repeated commitment to doing one's best and avoiding mistakes
Before I mess it up again
-I'm gonna do my best
-Before I mess it up again
-I'm gonna do my best
-Before I mess it up again
-I'm gonna do my best
-Before I mess it up again
-Yeah
Final affirmation
