“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”

Not Over You by Gavin DeGraw: EVERNEATH

Mari and I tend to find songs about books when we get together.....and it produces this: so check out this song we found about Everneath.


"Not Over You" by Gavin DeGraw

Jack- green

Nikki- red

Cole- purple





 Dreams, that's where I have to go

 To see your beautiful face anymore

 I stare at a picture of you and listen to the radio

 Hope, hope there's a conversation

 We both admit we had it good

 But until then it's alienation, I know

 That much is understood

 And I realize



[Chorus:]

 If you ask me how I'm doing

 I would say I'm doing just fine

 I would lie and say that you're not on my mind

 But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two

 And finally I'm forced to face the truth,

 No matter what I say I'm not over you, not over you



Damn, damn girl, you do it well

 And I thought you were innocent

 Took this heart and put it through hell

 But still you're magnificent

 I, I'm a boomerang, doesn't matter how you throw me

 I turn around and I'm back in the game

 Even better than the old me

 But I'm not even close without you



[Chorus:]

 If you ask me how I'm doing

 I would say I'm doing just fine

 I would lie and say that you're not on my mind

 But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two

 And finally I'm forced to face the truth,

 No matter what I say I'm not over you



And if I had the chance to renew

 You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do

 I could get back on the right track

 But only if you'd be convinced

 So until then...



[Chorus:]

 If you ask me how I'm doing

 I would say I'm doing just fine

 I would lie and say that you're not on my mind

 But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two

 And finally I'm forced to face the truth,

 No matter what I say I'm not over you

 Not over you

 Not over you

 Not over you



"Not Over You" (the meaning) ********ETREME SPOILERS***** (hidden in brackets, highlight between them if you wish to read the spoilers)

JACK:


Dreams, that's where I have to go Jack sees Nikki in dreams (keeps her alive)


 To see your beautiful face anymore Jack is still very much in love with Nikki


 I stare at a picture of you and listen to the radio (this is probably what Jack did with his time)


 Hope, hope there's a conversation he hoped she would come back


 We both admit we had it good he thought they had a great relationship


 But until then it's alienation, I know Everyone thinks Nikki was kidnapped…so he sent search parties out for her…everyone thought he was crazy.


 That much is understood


 And I realize





[Chorus:]


 If you ask me how I'm doing (literally)


 I would say I'm doing just fine (he put up a front)


 I would lie and say that you're not on my mind (spend time with her and pretend he wasn’t sitting in that English classroom everyday just to be near her again)


 But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two


 And finally I'm forced to face the truth,


 No matter what I say I'm not over you, not over you (he is still in love with Nikki)








COLE:


Damn, damn girl, you do it well (leaving for 6 months before the Shades come…just ditching)


 And I thought you were innocent thought she was just a sweet girl who would beg to come with him and rule the underworld


 Took this heart and put it through hell (tried to kill him….smash his guitar which she thought contained his heart…..”hell”…or “the feed”)


 But still you're magnificent she is still young…not old and shriveled up.


 I, I'm a boomerang, doesn't matter how you throw me he keeps coming back after Nikki keeps telling him off


 I turn around and I'm back in the game keeps coming….(relentless!)


 Even better than the old me he comes  with new plans each time to get Nikki to give up.


 But I'm not even close without you cant rule the underworld without her


 JACK


[Chorus:]


 If you ask me how I'm doing


 I would say I'm doing just fine


 I would lie and say that you're not on my mind


 But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two


 And finally I'm forced to face the truth,


 No matter what I say I'm not over you


 
Nikki
And if I had the chance to renew if I could go back


 You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do ANYTHING


 I could get back on the right track back together (because I never stopped loving you)


 But only if you'd be convinced (literally)


 So until then...


 
JACk
[Chorus:]


 If you ask me how I'm doing


 I would say I'm doing just fine


 I would lie and say that you're not on my mind


 But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two


 And finally I'm forced to face the truth,


 No matter what I say I'm not over you


 Not over you


 Not over you (he's obviously not over Nikki....)


 Not over you }
