More Than A Feeling
Hit The Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away
It's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky
It's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away
It's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away
The lyrics of "More Than a Feeling" by Hit The Lights evoke a sense of nostalgia and sadness as the singer remembers a lost love while listening to an old song. The song opens with the singer gazing outside only to find that the sun has disappeared, prompting him to turn to music to lift his spirits. He loses himself in a familiar song, which takes him back in time, and he reminisces about his ex-girlfriend Marianne, who has walked away, leaving him alone with his memories.
The song is more than just an ode to lost love, however. It's a testament to the power of music to transport the listener to another time and place, to awaken dormant memories and emotions, and to offer solace in times of heartache. The singer states that when he's "tired and thinking cold," he can hide in his music and forget the day. In this way, music becomes a lifeline for him, a way to hold onto the past and to cope with the present.
Overall, "More Than a Feeling" is a beautifully written and emotive song that speaks to the universal human experience of love and loss. It reminds us that music is not just entertainment but a powerful force that can connect us to our memories, our emotions, and to each other.

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Upon awakening, the sun was not visible
Turned on some music to start my day
To begin the day, music was played
I lost myself in a familiar song
I became fully immersed in a song I know well
I closed my eyes and I slipped away
My mind wandered and I became disconnected from my surroundings
It's more than a feeling
The sensation is greater than a mere emotion
(More than a feeling)
This sensation is felt deeply
When I hear that old song they used to play
The specific song being listened to takes me back to the past
I begin dreaming
Imagining scenarios from past experiences
'Til I see Marianne walk away
Until the memory of Marianne leaving brings me back to reality
I see my Marianne walkin' away
The specific memory is of Marianne departing
So many people have come and gone
Over time, many individuals have entered and exited my life
Their faces fade as the years go by
Their appearances become less visible in my mind as time passes
Yet I still recall as I wander on
Despite this, I can still remember as I move forward in time
As clear as the sun in the summer sky
The memory remains vivid and distinct
When I'm tired and thinking cold
When I am exhausted and emotionally distressed
I hide in my music, forget the day
To cope, I turn to music to block out the world
And dream of a girl I used to know
I think of a former acquaintance
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
But the memory retreats from my consciousness

This cover is good but it's just too god damn short. I mean the original is like 3 and a half minutes long probably even four mins long but it seems like HTL's just sped thru it like no tomorrow. Nonetheless it IS a great cover. I think Boston would be proud of these boys.

Sometimes I search up the originals because I don't recognize them, but I didn't recognize this song at all. I searched it up and thought I had the wrong song because it's so different.
Zee The G Shep

This is better than the original. Fight me.
ACE Music
Yeah, nowhere near the original but decent effort. At least they didn't throw a bunch of screaming and stuck to the original notes.
