It’s Not Over Yet
As we begin 2021, there is an overwhelming desire for things to return to normal. It’s Not Over Yet articulates these thoughts and anxieties through a winding vocal melody, set against a bed of energetic Synthwave.
It’s Not Over Yet was inspired by the far reaching impacts of the pandemic and my own challenges. It’s a universal theme of the desire to return to your former life once it’s been changed due to circumstance, but also recognising that change is still in motion.
The track was written, produced and mixed by yours truly, and mastered by Ben Feggans at Studios 301.
Lyrics
VERSE 1
Later in the night
There is no epitaph or light
It’s an overflow
To the great unknown
Now I’ve been here quite a while
And all these tensions grow inside
This autonomic fear
It could last for years
So here I am
A thousand miles from you
Mirrored in our minds
With everything we do
In synchronicity
With all sincerity
Get me out of here
Get me out of here
VERSE 2
Playing on my mind
Every truth and every lie
I go down every road
It’s an overload
Like a kite into a storm
I have no power to perform
Can I change it all?
Can I close the door?
And it seems to me
That we can’t let go
Of our memories
And our former ghosts
When all I want to do
Is reconnect with you
So get me out of here
Get me out of here
CHORUS
I’m looking for a way
Get back to what we do
I want to walk my dog
I want to hold you too
I’m caught up in this place
Entangled in regret
I want to go home
But it’s not over yet
