Meaning of "When It's Over" by Wild Belle
The song "When It's Over" conveys a sense of frustration and helplessness as the narrator observes someone they care about being mistreated in a relationship. Despite warning them about their partner's negative qualities, the person remains oblivious and continues to stay in a harmful situation. The narrator acknowledges their own shortcomings, feeling foolish for not realizing the person's true worth earlier. The repeated lines emphasizing that the partner is "no good for you" serve as a plea for the person to awaken to the truth, but the inevitable conclusion is that they remain blind to the situation. The narrator ultimately resigns to the fact that they cannot change the other person's mind and wonders if they will ever return "home" once the relationship is over. The song captures the complexities of trying to protect someone from harm when they are unable to see it for themselves.
