Lyrics for Over My Shoulder as interpreted by sunnysenny

Over My Shoulder Lyrics
Over my shoulder, running away,
Feels like I'm falling, losing my way.

Cold and dry,
Cold and dry.

Fog out my daylight, torture my night.
Feels like I'm falling, far out of sight.

Cold,

Drunk,

Tired,

Lost.

Over my shoulder, running away,
Feels like I’m falling, losing my way.

Cold, dry,
Cold and dry.

Fog out my daylight, torture my night.
Feels like i'm falling, far out of sight.

Cold,
Drunk,
Cold and drunk.

I bet that most people dont know that this song is actually on the album. Listening to this song is like being hipnotized gently in to a state of unconsciousness. Its mesmerising when your in the mood.

It doesn't even sound like Mika in his other songs. At all.

Just bought the album. This song is the first in a good whil eto blow me away. As good as anything produced by Radiohead. A very nice balance to this happy happy bouncy album.

What does it mean ? its pretty open - and its probably meant to be self-reflective. Its not about the song - its about you. For me - probably the greatest choon Mika will ever deliver.

This song reminds me of people who drink and drive, and therefore get into accidents. And like what madxzz stated, it sounds like a carnival. Going round and round, with no end and no beginning.
This song has both the victim and drivers view. Lots of imagery of cold dry asphalt, losing your way and a weight on your shoulder.

my view & reasons why I came to it:

Its about personal misery (purposely vague)
-1 instrument (unless I missed something)
-voice echo effect
-cold is lonliness
-the presence of drunk (alcohol) is to describe the drowning effect not to incite the idea of drinking & driving
-tired, physically included, but more so emotionally
-lost, metaphorically, without purpose

i was just recently in the world premiere of a show, and in it one of the main characters gets beaten nearly to death with a tire iron. our director played this song along with the bashing scene. for me, the song is hauntingly beautiful, and the juxtaposition of the beating with this light, eerie song was absolutely startling. i love the song, be every time i hear it i get a sort of sinking feeling and kinda feel like i need to cry.

this is sooo beautiful, and sad
i picture a cold, dark, wet alley, next to a bar
and feeling isolated, alone, and pretty hopeless actually

i love this!
