- Overkill Lyrics(Colin Hay)
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination
CHORUS
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night
>From overkill
CHORUS
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situation
I know will be alright
It's just overkill
CHORUS

Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night
>From overkill
CHORUS
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situation
I know will be alright

✔️
When we delve into what the artist truly meant to convey, the track 'Overkill' by the Australian band Men At Work goes into the depth of the problem of overthinking and anxiety using the metaphor of ghosts that disturb the mind during sleep. The setting is so desolate and the manner of struggle so intense that pretty lights have become distractions in the search for help against the apprehension and worries that continue to come back every day. With its ghostly representations, Overkill lyrics put forth mostly the themes of loneliness, torment, despair, meditation, and the pursuit of hope. The singer reinforces the idea that these states and feelings – anxiety and fear, solitude and fantasy, and overthinking – have become almost inseparable parts of one's life. The lyrics are imbued with the themes of anxiety and worry, which may be inadequate for very little ones. Nevertheless, there are no explicit mentions of violence, sex, or drug use, which makes it a little bit more than a general audience with some parental guidance.

'Your meaning to this song'? God damn, if you'd asked me before I read that if it were possible to demonstrate with just five words that both intelligent thought and the English language were dead....
