OVERREACTING
Emotional Turmoil Unveiled: The Foreign Body's 'OVERREACTING' Revealed
Lyrics
And the water falls
The water is falling.
For those who sit and stall
Referring to those who hesitate or procrastinate.
You were right on cue
Someone acted appropriately or as expected.
'Cause you found the clue
A discovery or realization has occurred.
The reaching of intention
The act of aiming or aspiring.
You reached beyond extension
Going beyond one's limits.
See what's happening?
Questioning the current situation.
Am I overreacting?
Expressing doubt about the appropriateness of the reaction.
It's our only turn
A chance to observe and experience.
To slowly watch it churn
Observing a slow and inevitable process.
Nothing left to do
Feeling helpless or resigned.
Is it me and you
Questioning the involvement of the speaker and another person.
Further down the hill
Descending into a difficult situation.
Gather up your will
Summoning inner strength or determination.
Leave behind the pain
Choosing to leave behind emotional distress.
Won't you come with me?
Inviting someone to join the speaker.
Can't get you out my head but it's not love it's just revenge
Acknowledging persistent thoughts, but it's not love, rather a desire for revenge.
I can see you with my eyes close, I smell you on my skin
Sensory experiences that evoke memories.
I can't tell if I'm stuck in the past, I'm where I've never been
Feeling uncertain about the present and past.
It's so damn cold outside, would you please let me in?
Describing the external environment as unwelcoming.
No sleep, up deciding to keep up this sham
Difficulty sleeping, contemplating the authenticity of a situation.
A thief in the night out, it creeps up again
A metaphorical reference to an unexpected negative occurrence.
Tease every time then you leave me for dead
Feeling teased and abandoned repeatedly.
This isn't love, this is just your revenge
Clarifying that the intense emotions are not love but a desire for retaliation.
And the water falls
Repetition of the initial scene.
For those who sit and stall
Recurrence of a situation where inaction leads to consequences.
You were right on cue
Reiteration of someone acting appropriately or as expected.
'Cause you found the clue
Reaffirmation of a discovery or realization.
The reaching of intention
Repetition of the act of aiming or aspiring.
You reached beyond extension
Repetition of going beyond one's limits.
See what's happening?
Repeating the question about the current situation.
Am I overreacting?
Reiterating doubt about the appropriateness of the reaction.
Can't get you out my head but it's not love it's just revenge

Reiteration of feeling uncertain about the present and past.
It's so damn cold outside, would you please let me in?
