The song "Over You" by Jelly Roll explores themes of heartbreak, addiction, and self-destructive behavior. The lyrics depict the singer in a state of desperation and pain, relying on drugs and alcohol to cope with the aftermath of a failed relationship. At 3am, the singer confesses to taking another Percocet and washing it down with a drink, hoping it will numb the emotional pain. However, the substances provide only temporary relief, and the singer feels like they could die from the anguish they have caused. Despite their partner's eyes being drowned in their own pain, they are unable to see the singer's cries for help. The protagonist acknowledges their self-destructive behavior, recognizing that they often find solace in a bottle and in seeking comfort with other people. The mention of "chopping it up" refers to engaging in deep conversations or sharing their emotions with others, but the singer requests to be left with the "last line," possibly referring to the final hit of a substance they need to feel better. Feeling remorseful, the singer admits feeling out of their mind to believe that their partner could ever forgive them for the scars they have left behind. These scars will always be a part of their memories together. The singer also shares the struggle of hiding their true emotions, often being labeled as emotionless and cold. Despite knowing the destructive nature of their actions, the singer cannot promise that this won't be the last time they turn to substances and seeking solace elsewhere. The repetition of being "fucked up" over their partner emphasizes the depth of their heartbreak and the lengths they are willing to go to escape the pain. Overall, "Over You" explores the aftermath of a broken relationship and the emotional turmoil that drives the protagonist to resort to addiction. It captures their desperation, regret, and the perpetual cycle of seeking temporary relief but ultimately finding themselves trapped in their own self-destructive patterns.
