More Than a Band
Hayley Kiyoko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't pretend
To know how you feel
But know that I'm here
Know that I'm real

Say what you want
Or don't talk at all
Not gonna let you fall

Reach for my hand
'Cause it's held out to you
My shoulders are small
But you can cry on them too

Everything changes
But one thing is true
Understand
We'll always be more than a band

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

You used to brave the world
All on your own
Now we won't let you go
Go it alone

Be who you wanna be
Always stand tall
Not gonna let you fall

Reach for my hand
'Cause it's held out for you
My shoulders are strong
But you can cry on them too

Everything changes
But one thing is true
Understand
We'll always be more than a band

I never knew you could take me so far
I've always wanted the hope that you are
The ones I need

Reach for my hand
'Cause it's held out for you
My shoulders are strong
But you can cry on them too

Everything changes
But one thing is true
Understand
We'll always be more than a band

Reach for my hand
'Cause it's held out for you
My shoulders are strong
But you can cry on them too

Everything changes
But one thing is true




Understand
We'll always be more than a band

Overall Meaning

The song's lyrics talk about the importance of friendship and the strong bond between friends. The first two lines set the tone for the song, with the singer acknowledging that she can't fully understand what her friend is going through, but she is there to support her. The line "Not gonna let you fall" reiterates the theme that the singer is ready to help her friend in any way possible. Throughout the song, the singer emphasizes the idea that friends should always be there for each other, no matter what.


The second verse describes the past when her friend used to go through life alone, but now she has a circle of friends who are always there to support her. The line "Be who you wanna be, always stand tall, not gonna let you fall" is a reminder to her friend to be true to herself and that her friends will always be there to catch her if she falls down. The song builds up to the chorus, where the singer sings about the unbreakable bond between her and her friends, who are "more than a band."

They are diferent in nature cuz is more singing and Dancing than actualy making music...
Like for example:
•(High School Musical) involve singing, dancing and making music
•(Camp Rock) involve singing, dancing and making music
•(Lemonade Mouth) involve singing and making music
•(Starstruck) involve singing and making music
•(Hannah Montana The Movie) involve singing, dancing and making music
•(Teen Beach Movie) involve singing, dancing and also making music

-I dont remember anymore movies like this but i also have to say that the storylines of this movies, characters, the songs the feelings the expressions everything was a whole diferent mood that literary draw a extremely good atention to this movies at the point that even thought Disney Chanel put those movies almost at every moment you will never miss it cuz you like it and sense you already know the songs you enjoy it even more you get it...

-But dont get me wrong i honestly love the new movies like Descendants and Zombies i do love them for real and i love involving myself into a fantasy mistic world that both movies shows sense Descendants is about Villians, Princess, Prince, Kings, Queens and Magic, while in the other hand Zombies is about well actual Zombies, Wolfs, Mystery and Magic and also maybe Vampires to sense the 3rd movies is already anounce to come by soon.. so i honestly realy love this movies but in comparison to the old ones those movies where actualy trowing real life facts in alot of diferent ways and they express diferent topics that every teenager pass through at those ages and i say it cuz i did pass through similar stuff in diferent ways and we all do experience them and still today i'm 21 years old and their stuff i see in this old movies that even in University still happends or can actualy happend cuz even thought i can be an adult i'm still realy young and have alot of things to do, discover and learn as well from myself and the world around me... you can realy identify with this old movies more than the new ones cuz of their storylines, tensions, feelings and joy in alot of ways while the new movies are focus in a specific topic plus they have to make it fit their type of movie cuz is a magical mistic world not a real life world so they have to focuz in every detail perfectly to make the movie look beautiful and charming in every way with the songs and dancing plus the drama of the movie itself you get into this movies cuz of all the stufd happening that magicaly epic and it just eye catching like everyone loves movies that are like this not only talking about Disney movies but in general alm movies like this fiction fantasy magic like they have good espectations for every single stuff and part of the movie but like i said the focus in a same topic following the storyline of the 1st movie while the old movies change the storylines in ways that exist and happend to everyone when they are teens and for the movie that express more those stuff are the High School Musical movies they realy focus in diferent types of storyline in one movie like one movie can have like 4 or 5 stories that all get involve with main one in all of them... but all the old movies do that as well so that the big diferent for and my point of view of the old with the new but i honestly love both alot so my respect and everyone has their own taste thise who were born like me in the Millenium 00 we have live to see both types the youngers than us are living and seeing the ones right now and for them these can be the best types of movies and we have to respect them because is what they grew up looking at as kids, young teens and old teens as well so yeah.. i dont judge anyone but i have my personal point of view of it...

What I really loved about this movie is how it's so.....real. It's not a sappy cheesy plot, it's about kids who feel like they don't matter and that their likes and interests are insignificant. The songs aren't cheesy or stupid they are so catchy and so amazing. I mean I feel like this is how all high-schoolers feel. Like if you're not a cheerleader or a football player, nobody notices you and you don't feel like you're important. And not to mention the individual struggles that each kid faces with their parent. Even though they're all different, in a way they all represent how kids feel like they're never going to be good enough for their parents and they're never going to do what their parents want them to do

Ayo Iseyemi

I miss it so bad

Marc Master

I miss that time

Momo Kitty

I feel the same way.
It was one of the few movies during my childhood that protrayed real world problems that I and probably a lot of other children dealt with.
Divorce, Bullying, Self image problems, and even grieving.
In my opinion, It really showed what real life was like. Not a fake movie life.

I wish I had a friend group like this.

Warai - San

I wish too

Quandale PringleDingle The II

Yeah but then the bad thing about it is they don’t stick around for long most of the people in that group start having altercations and different lives and you guys eventually grow apart but it’s good while it lasts so cherish it because the people you grew so close with the people that make you feel right at home they could be gone just like that.

Watermelon Ice

Me too. My friend groups all end up turning their backs on me one way or another.
