September 19, 2024 / by Becks
When we’re young, self-doubt often creeps in. We feel certain we’re right, and when reality shows otherwise, it’s both frustrating and exhausting. Add love to the mix, and life can feel upside down and inside out. Michael Barrow & the Tourist’s latest single, "Over It," dives into those youthful cycles of making mistakes and vowing to improve, only to start over again.
The lyric, "Whose heart is on my sleeve? It doesn't feel like mine," raises questions of identity, highlighting a disconnect between the singer and their emotions. This confusion breeds inadequacy, captured perfectly in the line, "Am I half of a man, half of the time?" It's a sincere ask, a moment of vulnerability that makes listeners wonder about their own sense of self.
“Over It” could easily be the soundtrack for the end of a coming-of-age film. Its themes of self-doubt and self-discovery are timeless, and the song’s upbeat, cheerful tone feels like a true reflection of teenage life. Underneath the surface, there’s emotional complexity, but on the outside, everything is kept light.
Michael Barrow & the Tourist’s "Over It" masterfully encapsulates the turbulence of youth, where uncertainty and self-discovery collide with the drive to keep moving forward. The contrast between introspective lyrics and lively instrumentation reflects the emotional chaos of growing up. Despite moments of doubt, the song carries an underlying hope that with every mistake comes the potential for renewal and growth.
