Threshold
More Than Life Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Empty words that you keep forgetting
The songs are full of regret
See quite you're all alone
Without the all to mess behind

Cold sheets will comfort me
With no more besides me




Overall Meaning

In "Threshold," More Than Life provides an introspective look into the feeling of despair and lonesomeness that hovers over one's existence. The opening lines, "Empty words that you keep forgetting / The songs are full of regret," suggest that the singer is struggling to find meaning and value in their words and art. They cannot seem to escape the sorrowful themes that dominate their work, even though they may want to break away from it. The next lines, "See quite you're all alone / Without the all to mess behind," indicate that the singer is perhaps feeling isolated and disconnected from the world around them. They appear to long for a sense of belonging and a purpose that has yet to be found.


As the song progresses, the lyrics shift towards a more somber tone. The line, "Cold sheets will comfort me / With no more besides me," imploringly illustrates the singer's state of loneliness and the emptiness they feel inside. However, the use of "cold sheets" as a source of comfort suggests that they have come to accept and adapt to their loneliness, while recognizing the futility of trying to find solace in someone or something else. In this regard, "Threshold" is a movingly candid and articulate reflection on the struggles of maintaining purpose and identity amidst the harsh realities of life.
