Not Over by By Million Wires consists of five interconnected tracks, forming a coherent sequence of lyrically linked ideas. In essence, the EP tells a story about disillusionment, inner discovery, and the frailty of hope. Instead of trying to resolve all questions in the album, By Million Wires embraces the ambiguity of emotions, leaving the lyrics open-ended. Consequently, the EP does not deliver any definite conclusions but invites the listener to experience the music and the feelings it inspires.

Glass Houses can be viewed as a prelude to the album as a whole, outlining the central theme of perception versus reality. In particular, By Million Wires creates a world where certain things are no longer available on a sensory level but continue to exist emotionally. For instance, despite the loss of contact with someone (or something), the artist still feels “them.” The imagery of glass also implies that something fragile and delicate can no longer be relied upon. The feeling of loss is integral to the EP and is further developed throughout the album.

Over continues to develop the theme of emotional imbalance, this time in terms of numbness. Namely, By Million Wires creates an image of someone immobilized by indecision and inability to move forward. The artist speaks of being “framed” and carrying a “blunt dagger.” At the same time, the understanding of the wasted time is obvious but fails to evoke change. In contrast, the chorus suggests a tiny spark of hope in the form of wanting to be awoken.

The track I Know Better marks a turning point in the evolution of emotions described by By Million Wires in the album. The lyrics of the song can be seen as a reflection on how difficult it is to make a difference when other people control your destiny. For example, the constant calls to “recognize victory” imply that the artist needs to learn to distinguish accomplishments from failures. As a result, the phrase “too many heroes” implies that other people have always determined his path. At this point, regret becomes less important compared to new self-understanding.

Lost or Won is somewhat detached and philosophical in nature. In the song, By Million Wires reflects on the impermanence of life and identity as such. In particular, the lyrics suggest that the victories and failures of the past have lost their significance, and the outcome matters much less than the process of living. In this way, the line “only passing by the storm” emphasizes the fact that the artist dissolves into life itself while trying to retain some independence.

Runaway can be considered another turning point in the EP, marking the first signs of moving away from the situation described in the first three songs. Namely, By Million Wires calls to flee or leave whatever the listener wants to get rid of. However, unlike the previous tracks, the call in Runaway is not associated with defeat. On the contrary, the faint light mentioned in the lyrics may symbolize the will to preserve some part of one’s identity after separation.

To sum up, Not Over by By Million Wires can be viewed as a lyrical journey towards self-awareness in the context of disillusionment. In turn, the strength of the EP lies in the fact that the artist does not impose clear interpretations of the feelings and phenomena described. Instead, it lets listeners feel different emotions and try to find common ground.
