Something More Than This
October Project - Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the beauty of the ending day
There is always something to return to
Something you allow to slip away
In the empty corners of the evening
In the vacant beauty of the wind
There is always something to remember
Something to remember to begin
I need no guide
I'll be alone on this long dark ride
Tonight
Whatever you fear
Whatever you hide
Whatever you carry deep inside
There's something more than this
Whatever you love
Whatever you give
Whatever you think you need to live
There's something more than this
In the shadow cast as you were leaving
In the beauty of the ending day
There is always something to believe in
Something as I watch you slip away
I need no shelter
I need no guide
I'll be alone on this long dark ride
Tonight
Whatever you fear
Whatever you hide
Whatever you carry deep inside
There's something more than this
Whatever you love
Whatever you give
Whatever you think you need to live
There's something more than this
There's something more than this
There's something more than this
There's something more than this
The lyrics of October Project's "Something More Than This" reflect on the uncertainty and complexity of life. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with a sense of loss and sadness as the singer watches someone leave. Yet, within this darkness, there is always hope, something to believe in and return to. The song recognizes the fleeting nature of life, with beauty found in the ending day and empty corners of the evening. The singer acknowledges they don't need anyone to guide them, knowing they will be alone on their long, dark ride.
The refrain of "Whatever you fear, Whatever you hide, Whatever you carry deep inside, there's something more than this" highlights the idea that there is always more to life than what we experience in the moment. No matter what we fear, want, or hide, there is something more, something greater than the present that we should strive for. The song asks us to look beyond the surface level and search for something deeper, something more significant than what we think we need to live. It suggests that we should open our eyes to what is greater than ourselves.
