It's Over
Unveiling the Hidden Echoes: It's Over by Sondre Lerche
Lyrics
It's not over at all
Expressing that the situation is not completely over.
You're just trying to smile
Indicating an attempt to maintain a positive facade through a smile.
I know perfectly well
Acknowledging awareness of the current state of affairs.
Such are things we both know
Referring to shared knowledge or mutual understanding.
And we think we should say
Discussing the need to communicate certain things.
Just to organize the stains
Suggesting the need to organize or address emotional stains or issues.
Systems reveal their construction these days
Observing that systems (relationships) reveal their structure in contemporary times.
As we escape to drift further away
Describing a departure to distance oneself further.
We know the stars go out one night
Reflecting on the transient nature of stars.
But I can't tell you anything you wouldn't know
Asserting an inability to provide new information.
So nothing has been lost
Emphasizing that nothing significant has been lost.
It's not over at all
Reiterating that the situation is not conclusively finished.
If my thoughts could be here
If thoughts were present, they would advise leaving.
They'd advice you to leave
Acknowledging the difficulty of the situation.
It's not easy, I know
Conveying the skill of making challenging situations seem trivial.
Making hard things look small
Expressing the willingness to attempt something difficult.
But we're dying to try
Hinting at a cost-effective replacement in the relationship.
You have revealed your conclusion by chance
Noting the accidental revelation of a conclusion.
I have replaced you at little expense
Claiming to have replaced the other person with minimal effort.
We know the stars go out one night
Reiterating the transient nature of stars.
But I can't think of anything I haven't told
Acknowledging the absence of undisclosed information.
Still, nothing has been lost
Affirming that nothing of significance has been lost.
When you could use the words reserved for a sad song
Advising against using reserved words for sad situations too soon.
You'll find you've spent them up on God and everyone
Highlighting the expenditure of emotional resources on various entities.
Like anyone before
Comparing experiences to those of others who came before.
It's not over at all
Reiterating that the situation is not conclusively finished.
You're just trying to smile
Indicating a continued effort to maintain a positive demeanor.
I know perfectly well
Confirming awareness of the current state of affairs.
It's not over
Reasserting that it is not over.
But oh, if my thoughts could be here
If thoughts were present, they would advise leaving.
They'd advice you to leave
Repeating the advice to leave.
We will be cold where the lights are all out
Expecting a cold atmosphere where lights are extinguished.
But at least we can think without reason or doubt
Finding solace in the ability to think without logic or uncertainty.
I don't know much about this world
Expressing limited knowledge about the world.
But I can tell you one thing as I pass you by
Claiming the ability to convey at least one piece of information while passing by.
Nothing has been lost
Affirming that nothing of significance has been lost.
