The Getting Over It Part

Blue October

I tried and tried
I tried so many things that wouldn't take
Like stop the leak, prevent the flood, some say
But nothing helped at all

And you're not listening to what I say
You waste the time for memories made
Communication has not made its way to your agenda for today
Or any other day
'Cause this is the last time I'm gonna say it

If you come around here, you know
We're gonna have some problems, though
'Cause yeah, we're over
Get over it, though

I've seen that look before
Leave that shit at your door
'Cause yeah, we're over
Get over it, though

Now I'm shouting out
You gotta hear me
Can you end this now
I'm tired of waiting

You don't get the point
And you don't get control
And we both have a chance
If you just let go

You can't have me tonight, tomorrow night, the next day
For anyone or anything
And anyway, I'm not asking you to stay
You're not my fucking problem, one you just throw away

Let's burn this house we built up down and simply walk away
If you come around here, you know
We're gonna have some problems, though
'Cause yeah, we're over, get over it, though

I've seen that look before
Leave that shit at your door
'Cause yeah, we're over
Yes, we're over

I'm gonna win this conversation
Look who's got the microphone
I can't believe you're stuck on always trying to fuck me up
Yeah, I think you ruined us all

Yeah, I truly believe you fucking ruined us all

If you come around here, you know
We're gonna have some problems, though
'Cause yeah, we're over
Get over it, though

I've seen that look before
Leave that shit at your door
'Cause yeah, we're over
Yes, we're over

    So visceral, so raw... This guy surely knows how to put his soul in his songs!

    These guys should be selling billions of records!

The Spy
Doors, The
Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Step
Ministry
Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
