## Backstory

"Over" is a song that intricately weaves a narrative of introspection and resilience. The opening verse paints a vivid picture of a past where dreams were pursued with intensity, symbolized by the act of chasing stars. However, a realization dawns that it is time to bid farewell to that chapter, bringing about an acknowledgment of closure while expressing a sense of curiosity about the uncharted future.

The pre-chorus introduces a recurring theme of facing the unknown with optimism and a smile, emphasizing the strength found in not being alone. This resilience is further highlighted by the belief that every ending is merely a prelude to a fresh start, with an emphasis on discovering one's own rhythm and authenticity.

The chorus emerges as a powerful affirmation, declaring that farewells mark the commencement of something new. The commitment to shining like the sun and persevering regardless of challenges echoes throughout, underlining a determination to find a way to soar even after saying goodbye.

The second verse delves into the emotional aspect of parting ways, acknowledging that tears may fall, but they are transient. The focus shifts to the lessons gleaned from the past, and the metaphorical fire that still burns represents an enduring passion and spirit within.

The bridge introduces the metaphor of spreading wings and reaching for the sky, symbolizing growth, progress, and the pursuit of aspirations. Learning to fly with every step becomes a metaphor for continuous personal development, and the mention of a world of possibilities infuses an optimistic outlook on the future.

As the chorus is reiterated, the song maintains its thematic core, emphasizing that farewells are not the end but rather the inception of a new chapter. The outro encapsulates the overarching message, reiterating the determination to keep chasing the light, with hope serving as a guiding force. The imagery of taking flight becomes symbolic of an ongoing journey toward a bright and promising future. In essence, "Over" emerges as a celebration of resilience, an embrace of change, and a anthem of hope for new beginnings.

## Lyrics

(Verse 1)

I used to chase the stars up high,

In a world where dreams could never die.

But now I see it's time to let it go,

A chapter ending, but there's so much more to know.

(Pre-Chorus)

Yeah, we're standing at the edge of the unknown,

But I'll face it with a smile, I'm not alone.

Every ending's just a brand new start,

Gonna find the beat in my own heart.

(Chorus)

It's not the end, it's the start of a brand new day,

Gonna shine like the sun, come what may.

When we say goodbye, we'll find a way to fly,

Because it's not over, it's just the beginning in disguise.

(Verse 2)

The tears may fall, but they won't last,

As we look back on the memories of the past.

We'll take the lessons that we've learned,

And use them to light the fire that still burns.

(Pre-Chorus)

Yeah, we're standing at the edge of the unknown,

But I'll face it with a smile, I'm not alone.

Every ending's just a brand new start,

Gonna find the beat in my own heart.

(Chorus)

It's not the end, it's the start of a brand new day,

Gonna shine like the sun, come what may.

When we say goodbye, we'll find a way to fly,

Because it's not over, it's just the beginning in disguise.

(Bridge)

We'll spread our wings and reach for the sky,

With every step, we'll learn to fly.

There's so much more that we can be,

A world of possibilities, just wait and see.

(Chorus)

It's not the end, it's the start of a brand new day,

Gonna shine like the sun, come what may.

When we say goodbye, we'll find a way to fly,

Because it's not over, it's just the beginning in disguise.

(Outro)

Yeah, it's not over, we'll keep on chasing the light,

With hope in our hearts, we'll take flight.

When we say goodbye, we'll find a way to fly,

Because it's not over, it's just the beginning, oh so bright!
