Miss You More
De/Vision Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Will I be here endlessly
Without a firm sense of identity
In a world that left me cold and empty
In a world that left me cold and empty
I'm about to lose my hold
Come alive and take me far
So alive come take me far and near
'Cause the morld will leave you cold and empty

'Cause the world will leave you cold and empty
I'm about to lose control

Won't you come alive
And take me down your trail
Hold me close before it's too late
Come alive and lead me all the may
(I miss you more than home)
Hold me close before it's too late

When your colors start to fade
All your colors fade away I pray
That your love
Won't keep me cold and empty
That your love

Won't leave me cold and empty
I'm about to lose my hold.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to De/Vision's song "Miss You More" convey the profound sense of loneliness and desperation that is felt by the singer. This is evident from the very first line, where the singer questions whether they will be left "endlessly" without any "firm sense of identity". It is clear that they feel lost and alone in a world that has let them down.

The second verse builds on this feeling of desperation, with the singer admitting that they are "about to lose control" because of the emptiness they feel inside. They call out to someone, presumably a lover, asking them to "come alive" and take them away from this cold and empty world. The plea for help becomes more urgent in the chorus, where the singer begs their love interest to "hold [them] close before it's too late". The repetition of the line "come alive" creates a sense of urgency and desperation, as if the singer's very survival depends on the love and support of this person.

The final verse is one of hope and prayer, where the singer expresses the wish that their love interest's "colors" won't fade away and leave them feeling empty and alone. Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone who is lost, struggling to find their place in the world and hoping that someone else can save them from their own despair.

Line by Line Meaning

Will I be here endlessly
Am I going to be stuck in this situation forever?

Without a firm sense of identity
Without knowing who I really am

In a world that left me cold and empty
Living in a place that makes me feel lonely and hopeless

I'm about to lose my hold
I'm about to lose my grip on my life and myself

Come alive and take me far
Give me a new life and take me away from this place

So alive come take me far and near
Get me excited and show me new places

'cause the world will leave you cold and empty
Because this world can be a harsh and isolating place

I'm about to lose control
I'm on the verge of losing all power over my life

Won't you come alive
Can you please get me excited and inspire me?

And take me down your trail
Show me the path you followed and take me with you

Hold me close before it's too late
Please show me some affection and warmth
