Something More
It Prevails Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I knew you were the one that would hold me close,
The that wouldn't let go.
I have an open heart to chagne the ones I love,
But some chose to save face, turn and walk away from me.
That's ok, because the hardest part of being human is learning to let go,
And pick your battles well.
Time will show us who are, whether or not we'd like to see.
This idea that we've called life is to become the best you can be.
I'm trying harder everyday to find the man that I plan to be...
I found him, I crossed the lines to be him.
There's no more wondering why..
I am him, I'm done wasting time.
It was always something more to me,
It was everything.
It was something more to me,
But you turned and walked away.
Although alone at times, I'll see this through.
These lyrics from It Prevails's song Something More are about love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. The opening lines suggest that the singer has found someone they love and trust, but not everyone in their life has been willing to reciprocate that loyalty. However, the singer understands that it's important to let go of those who aren't willing to stay in their life and to focus on choosing which battles to fight.
The second verse touches on the idea of patience and waiting for time to reveal who we truly are. The singer expresses a desire to become the best version of themselves and how they have found that person by crossing boundaries and no longer wasting time. They then reflect on how this love was always something more to them, though the other person chose to walk away. But even in moments of loneliness, the singer is determined to see this journey of self-discovery through.
Overall, the lyrics convey a message about the importance of self-growth and not relying on others for validation or acceptance. Sometimes, it's necessary to let go of people who don't share our values and goals in order to become our best selves.
