Over You

I wrote this song in response to the competitive environment I grew up in that made me become frightened of failure. However, over the years, I have learned that the more I become scared of failure, the more I am likely to fail. I have learned to welcome failure just like I have with success because by understanding that failure is only a step to success, I am more mentally healthy and ready to face any challenges placed before me. The “you” that I refer to in this song is failure. By personifying failure, I become face to face with what I once feared and express my emotions to overcome this fear. Just like meeting someone for the first time, personifying failure allowed me to explore its true intentions so that I am changing my view of it from something that is daunting into a worthwhile lesson.

Verse:

Enchanted by the image of perfection

Obsessed with winning all its affection 

These people they walk by

Shining head tall with red eyes

And i end up lost in this whole crowd

Covered by all of your deafening sound

But in the end i’ll always rise

And get you out of my sight

Pre:

Im tired of fightin

All my life

I want to like you

At least that’s what they say it should be like

Verse:

Nobody dares to come and knock on your door

I shudder, i break at the thought of you more

Failure, say goodbye

You chain me down from the sky

It’s funny how you do the opposite

Of what i want from you this moment

How the more i defy,

It’s me that you define

Hook:

But I’m over you (you)

Yea I’m so over youqI don’t care about you

I’m so done with you (you)

You’ve broken me down just enough to get by

The blackest of clouds hangin up in my sky

Thank you for all the lies you made me believe

Guess you only dressed me up to achieve
