Overs by Simon and Garfunkel is a reflective and melancholic ballad exploring the end of a relationship. The song delves into the feelings of resignation and inevitability as the once passionate and meaningful connection fades. Key themes include loss, time, disillusionment, and the passage of life. Particularly poignant moments in the song include the repeated refrain 'it's over,' signifying the realization and acceptance of the end, and the subtle yet powerful lyrics about the mundane aspects of a relationship that once brought joy but now feel empty and meaningless.
