Over Each Other

The lyrics describe a relationship stuck in conflict. The speaker feels unable to breathe freely or be right, and repeated arguments seem to replace real understanding. The mood moves from frustration and exhaustion toward a small opening: at the end, the speaker asks to hear what lies beneath the fighting and to see the other person’s side.

“Talking over each other” means speaking at the same time, but here it also suggests that neither person is truly listening. The “skyscrapers” they created may represent something they built together, such as trust or a relationship. Because it stands on “shaky ground,” it is at risk of collapsing. “Looking for color in the black and white” suggests wanting more nuance than a situation where each person sees only right and wrong.

The song leaves some uncertainty about what the conflict is really about. The speaker says the other person will not let them breathe, yet also admits that their conversations go nowhere. “So say what’s underneath” could be a request to move past accusations and express the deeper feelings behind them. The ending does not promise that the relationship will be repaired; it suggests that honest listening might be a first step.
