Davido ft Asake lyrics “Competition”

 

Lyricism

Davido Over dem Lyrics implies a situation where Davido is not battling with his anxiety and inferiority complex because he faces no situation much greater than he can handle. He knows he is the greatest.

But Over dem lyrics by Davido points to how there are so many things that his mind feeds on that at the end of the day, he is left staring at so much achievements.

According to Davido, this emptiness is able to make any man feel absolutely unworthy regardless of how highly they think of themselves before.

Also, Over dem Lyrics by Davido, at the beginning, states that there is a mystery box inside of him that he can’t explain- hence the mystery. This particular mystery box juices him up and makes him feel weird, but the kind of weird that makes you feel good.

Meanwhile, Davido Over dem implies that while he feels good inside, he feels much more terrible outside because of his own personal convictions. There is so much his body outside is battling with that it stops the work of the mystery box inside.

This is a situation of “feeling good inside but feeling shitty outside”. No matter how hard he tries, Davido Over dem implies that he can’t make the mystery box in him make him feel good on the outside. 

Meanwhile, Over dem Lyrics jumps to another part where we see that the song is majorly about standing upright and being on the watch no matter the hard things you are going through. People don’t need to know that, because once they do, you are caught off guard and they can throw anything at you.

This is why Davido refers to himself as Over dem he must stand up, beat his chest and prevent any form of physical or emotional attack against him.

He even proves that people will always come for you once they realize that you’ve lost your morale. He therefore cites the example of his brother (perhaps a friend) whose spirits have been dampened and has therefore been buried by the cold streets (people who run the streets) because he lost the power of his spirit.

Davido is a song about internal and external conflict/struggles that human beings face within and outside themselves which makes them feel really insecure about themselves

Delivery

Davido has always been strong on song delivery because of how highly personal his songs are. It is therefore not surprising that his new song- Over dem depicts how much of what he is feeling as articulately as possible.

We grab onto every lyric because there is so much to glean from the song based on the meaning portrayed in Over dem.

 

Relatability

If there is something about Davido’s Over dem, it is the sheer Relatability. Literally everyone of us goes through the part where we find ourselves struggling based on the issues of anxiety, inferiority and insecurity because we don’t find ourselves enough or strong enough for the situations that challenge us.

However, this is a song of encouragement from Davido. We should be our own Over dem, and that’s it. Because if we don’t, we find ourselves staring down the barrel of a gun, waiting to be rescued.
