Overcome lyrics
 

Ok well i cant listen to a song unless I can sing along to it so for the past hour or so I have been trying to dissect the the words to the song and this is what I have so far. If a word is underlined I am taking a guess at the lyrics, some of which I just cant decipher. Well here is what I got. Any suggestions?


Your a victim to me
Every thing we are and used to be
Is buried and gone
Now its my turn speak
Its my turn
Its my turn to expose and release
whats been killing me
I'll be there fighting you
your impossible
impossible

Say goodbye with no sympathy
I've been entitled to overcome
This war has made me numb
Knock me down throw me to the floor
There's no pain I can't feel no more
I've been entitled to overcome

Finally see whats me
Everything I am and hope to be
can not be lost
I'll be there fighting you
your impossible
impossible

Say goodbye with no sympathy
I've been entitled to overcome
this war has made me numb

There's no pain I can't feel no more
I've been entitled to overcome

Yes

I'm entitled to overcome
this war has made me talk
Knock me down throw me to the floor
There's no pain I can't feel no more
I'm entitled to overcome
I'm entitled to overcome
I'm entitled to overcome
I'm entitled
I'm entitled to overcome
yes
Overcome

I may be a christen but never a little mackerel


Updated with Dark Knights interpretation, suggestions from other users and more times to listening to the footage. Still need to figure out what Stapp is saying in the second half of the song.

Re: Overcome lyrics
 

This is what I have so far...

Verse 1:

"You're a victim to me, everything we are and used to be"
???
"It's my turn to expose and release what's been killing me"
"I'll be there fighting you, you're impossible, impossible"
"Sitting by, with no sympathy..."

Chorus:

"I'm entitled to Overcome, This war has made me numb,
Knock me down throw me to the floor, there's no pain I can feel no more,
I'm entitled to Overcome."

Verse 2
??? "Everything I am & hope to be cannot be lost, "
"I'll be there fighting you, you're impossible, impossible"
"Sitting by, with no sympathy..."

Chorus:

"I'm entitled to Overcome, This war has made me numb,
Knock me down throw me to the floor, there's no pain I can feel no more,
I'm entitled to Overcome."

Re: Overcome lyrics
 

I think your lyrics are closer than mine. After listening to the song with your lyrics they flow better. What copy of the song are you using???

Re: Overcome lyrics
 

You can hear the lyrics more clearly in the bootleg that's been floating around the boards...here's a download link if you don't happen to have it. (I'm pretty sure the chorus lyrics are all correct, I'm just not 100% sure about the verses)

Re: Overcome lyrics
 

the 2nd line in the 1st verse that you have question marks jared i think scott says... "Is buried and gone."

Re: Overcome lyrics
 

i think its "Im entitled to overcome"

Re: Overcome lyrics
 

Anyone notice that stapp's lyric writing is infinitely better with tremonti then it was when he was solo?

It's sad stapp's voice is in the condition it is in, the two of them really shine as songwriters when they write together. At least lyrically.

Re: Overcome lyrics
 

...yes, we know together they are better. That's why creed cd's sell better than alter bridge and stapps. Stapps vocal condition? Its fine. Have you seen previous creed live performances? or even when he was performing solo, his voice is about the same. Stapp has never been the best live performer(vocally). He always sounds better on the album. He's a rock singer, he's jumping around and screaming over the band. Of course he's not going to sound like he does on a album when he's doing all that.

Re: Overcome lyrics
 

Thanks For Clearing That Up For Us You A Thinking Nobody At Tis Point Is For Sure What The Tittle Is Personaly I Like Just Overcome Better :rockon:

Re: Overcome lyrics
 

Are you talking about the title of the song? It's Overcome, Scott confirmed it in an interview before the first concert.

Re: Overcome lyrics
 

I think I've figured out the bridge...I could be wrong though. (also there's a different line at the end of the last chorus, I still can't make it out though)...

You're a victim to me, everything we are and used to be is buried & gone
Now it's my turn to speak, it's my turn to expose & release what's been killing me
I'll be there fighting you, you're impossible, impossible
Sitting by with no sympathy

I'm entitled to Overcome, this war has made me numb
Knock me down throw me to the floor, there's no pain I can feel no more
I'm entitled to Overcome, Yes Overcome

I finally see what's beneath, everything I am & hope to be cannot be lost
I'll be there fighting you, you're impossible, impossible
Sitting by with no sympathy

I'm entitled to Overcome, this war has made me numb
Knock me down throw me to the floor, there's no pain I can feel no more
I'm entitled to Overcome, Yes Overcome

You may not know what I was thinking before you came around
Take a breath, take a step, put your guard down
I may not know it anymore, what you think of me
I may be crazy but I'm buried in your memory

I'm entitled to Overcome, this war has made me numb
Knock me down throw me to the floor, there's no pain I can feel no more
I'm entitled to Overcome, ????
I'm entitled to Overcome, I'm entitled to Overcome, Yes Overcome

Here's the best quality version yet from Hershey...

YYou are victim to me
Everything we are and used to be is buried, enough [OR buried and gone OR buried, endure]
Now it's my turn to speak
It's my turn to expose and release what's been killing me
I'll beat them fighting you
You're impossible, impossible
Say goodbye, with no sympathy [OR Sitting by, with no sympathy]

I'm entitled to overcome
This war has made me numb
Knock me down, throw me to the floor
There's no pain, I can't feel, no more
I'm entitled to overcome this... Overcome

I want [OR I wish] so much to live [OR I'm a victim to you]
Everything I am and hope to be, cannot be lost
I'll beat them fighting you
Your impossible, impossible
Say goodbye, with no sympathy [OR Sitting by, with no sympathy]

I'm entitled to overcome
This war has made me numb
Knock me down, throw me to the floor
There's no pain, I can't feel, no more
I'm entitled to overcome... this. Overcome

The way I know when I was thinking, people looking around [OR You may not know it thinking people looking round]
Take a step, take a breath [take a breath, take a step], put your guard down
You may not know me [OR it] anymore, but [OR You may not know it anymore, but OR You may not know it anymore what you think of me OR I do not know it what you think of me]
I may be [OR I think I'm] crazy but I'm buried in your memory

I'm entitled to overcome
This war has made me numb
Knock me down, throw me to the floor
There's no pain, I can't feel, no more
I'm entitled to overcome
This pain is gone, I'm strong [OR This pain is numb, I'm strong] (At Darien Lake, he repeats: "This war has made me numb")
I'm entitled to overcome
I'm entitled to overcome
I'm entitled to overcome
I'm entitled to overcome... this. Overcome

I may be crazy but I'm buried in your memory

Re: Overcome lyrics
 

Dark knight I think you go them down pat. The newest clip from Hershey is great and you can really hear what Stapp is saying especially in the "rapping" portion at the end of the song

Re: Overcome lyrics
 

Thanks, yeah the Hershey video really helped out...there might be a word here & there that's incorrect but hopefully I'm close lol
