Over and Done With Lyrics

This is the story of our first teacher
Shetland made her jumpers
And the devil made her features
Threw up her bands when my mum said our names
Embroidered all her stories with slanderous claims
It's over and done with

This is the story of losing my virginity
I held my breath and the bed held a trinity
People I'm making no claims to a mystery
But sometimes it seems like
My sex life's all history
I'm not saying these events didn't
Touch our lives in any way
But, ah, they didn't make the impression
That some people say

This is the story of watching a man dying
The subjects unpopular
But I don't feel like lying
When I think of it now I acted like a sinner
I just washed my bands
Then I went for my dinner.

What is the Meaning of Over and Done With?

Exploring themes of personal history, memory, and the passage of time, the lyrics unfold as a reflective commentary on various significant yet ultimately transient moments in life. The narrative begins with a recollection of a schoolteacher whose stern presence left an indelible yet fleeting impression. It then transitions to an account of losing one's virginity, implying that such personal milestones, widely considered pivotal, may not hold long-lasting significance. Finally, the song shifts to the sobering experience of witnessing a man's death, where the narrator acknowledges a mix of detachment and guilt. Through these vignettes, the song underscores the ephemeral nature of formative events, suggesting that their perceived impact may diminish over time. #Reflection #Ephemeral #LifeEvents
