More Than A Feeling
N Sync Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
Closed my eyes and I slipped away
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(More than a feeling)
(More than a feeling)
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
Till I see Mary Ann walk away
When I'm tired and I think I'm cold
I hide in my music and forget the day
And dream of a girl that I used to know
Close my eyes and she slipped away
Ooh, ooh, ooh
(More than a feeling)
(More than a feeling)
Well it's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
Till I see Mary Ann walk away
Well it's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
And I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
Till I see Mary Ann walk away
Close my eyes and slip away
The lyrics of N Sync's "More Than a Feeling" describe how music has the ability to transport and transform the listener. The song opens with the singer waking up without sunshine and turning on music to start his day. He gets lost in a familiar song and "slips away" by closing his eyes. The chorus repeats the phrase "more than a feeling," emphasizing that the experience he is having with the music is not just an emotional response – it is a deep, transcendental experience.
The verse goes on to describe how the singer uses music to escape from his daily life and "dream of a girl that I used to know." Once again, he slips away into the music, lost in the memories and emotions it evokes. When he hears the old song they used to play, it brings back not just a feeling, but a whole world that he can escape into.
The final chorus repeats the phrase "more than a feeling" and ends with the singer slipping away once more, closing his eyes to the music. The song encapsulates the power of music to transport and transform the listener, creating a world that is more than just a feeling.

I woke up this morning and the sun was gone
I woke up to a dull day with no excitement.
Turned on some music to start my day
I played some music to lighten my mood.
I lost myself in a familiar song
I got completely engrossed in a song that I am familiar with.
Closed my eyes and I slipped away
I got lost in the music and forgot about everything around me.
(More than a feeling)
The emotions that the music evokes cannot be expressed in words.
When I hear that old song they used to play
The song takes me back to a time of happiness and nostalgia.
And I begin dreaming
My mind starts to wander and I get lost in my thoughts.
Till I see Mary Ann walk away
My happiness is short-lived, and I am reminded of something I lost.
When I'm tired and I think I'm cold
When I am low and in need of comfort.
I hide in my music and forget the day
I turn to music as a form of escapism and forget everything else for a while.
And dream of a girl that I used to know
I reminisce about someone special from my past.
Close my eyes and she slipped away
I get lost in the memory and it becomes fleeting and distant.
Well it's more than a feeling
The emotions that the music evokes are intense and powerful.
