More Than a Life Away
Marco V Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saturday moring 8:45
Light shines of the white walls into your eyes
The kitchensink throws a pittyful smile
You're way out of time
You're way out of time
Sit down coffee bluecheeze and serial
Living today is a god given miracle
Live in the moment is more than a life away
It's more than a life away


Saturday morning 9.21
You read of a war in the east that was won
By humaliation and panic the bombs
Came tumbeling down
Came tumbeling down
One more for the papers
People in offices
Spreading the news unaware of the comequence
Live in the moment is more than a life away
It's more than a life away


Blue skies white lines forests in stereo
Driving for hours with only hysterical
Radio dj's taking another call
About the weather and all
High on life is a beutiful time
Reach out if you can when they trough you the line
Turn down the radio avoiding the 3 o clock news..
I have nothing to choose


Saturday evening two past eleven
Pints down the road, on a fast way to heaven
Friend tells a story noone believes
Some tease, some bleed some attention they need
Looking away seems the only remedy
This is the end of me live in the moment seems




More than a life away
It's more than a life away

Overall Meaning

The song 'More Than a Life Away' by Marco V begins with a description of a mundane scene insinuating that life can seem lackluster and unexciting at times. The singer is clearly in a rush and the kitchen sink throws him a 'pitiful smile' adding to his frustration. The next line that says 'living today is a God-given miracle' seems to be a sarcastic statement, thereby reflecting on the singer's disillusionment with life. The line 'Live in the moment is more than a life away' in the chorus sheds light on the singer's desire to escape the monotony of life and embrace the present moment. By stating 'it's more than a life away,' the artist emphasizes that despite the overwhelming impulse to live in the moment, it is not a choice that is easy to make for everyone; it is a journey that requires deliberate effort.


The second verse is about how the media casually reports about the chaos and destruction in far-off war zones while ordinary people in day jobs carry on with their lives, unaware of the repercussions of the conflict. The line 'live in the moment is more than a life away,' takes on a deeper meaning as it offers an escape from the plunder of news headlines, highlighting again the need to focus on the present and avoid the distractions of the outside world. The bridge of the song talks about a long drive and avoiding the news using loud music as a means of escapism. The singer reaches out to his listeners, saying, "High on life is a beautiful time / Reach out if you can when they throw you the line," highlighting the importance of staying positive among the chaos of life.
