Question about meaning of the song "That's right"
Hi.
I don't know the meaning of the some lyrics of the song "That's right"
I've been up and down and over and out, and I know one thing.
In this sentence what does the "over and out" mean?
"Each time I find myself flat on my face. I pick myself up and get back in the race"
What does it mean that 'I find myself flat on my face'?
I think it means kind of failure, but I don't understand exactly what it is.
Thank you

Howdy HongJu,
It seems your original question has been answered, but I wanted to tell you the name of this song is That’s Life, not That’s Right.

You’re right about “falling flat on one’s face” — it means failure, possibly an embarrassing failure.
Songs don’t always make sense, but I believe “over and out” is a reference to two-way radio communication. Every time you finish talking and expect an answer, you say “over”. (The technology did not allow both parties to speak simultaneously.) When you wished to end the conversation, you would say “over and out”. So in your context, it would refer to ending a conversation, or perhaps even a relationship.

Literally, being "flat on your face" means that you are lying on your front after falling down.

Each time I find myself flat on my face means each time I struggle with my life
