They played multiple shows around the San Francisco Bay area with such bands as Takaru, Under A Dying Sun, Atriata and Heart Cross Love. The band then later lost original bassist Eric and keyboardist Kyle, and broke up. Seeing Means More later reformed in the summer of 2003, adding a new guitarist, Henry, to the lineup. With their new guitarist and a growing passion for hardcore, Seeing Means More began writing new material that explored the boundaries of traditional screamo fused with metal/hardcore. Seeing Means More has played with some great acts such as: Sailboats, Funeral Diner, Peltier Road Massacre, Arturo Gatti, Horror City, Le Mal Du Pays, Comadre, Maudlin, Heavy Heavy Low Low, Eleanor, The Jonbenet, Antagony and Suffokate. Between Fall 2003 and Fall 2005, the band recorded 7 songs with Zach Ohren and Aaron Hellam of Castle Ultimate Studios in Oakland.

We played our last show on July 9 2006 in Oakland with Loma Prieta and Toru Okada.

Seeing Means More Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dropped my worries to the sand and focused on the sky, the blue horizon reminded me of her as the sun outweighed the moon

Falling to our tomorrow,
The last glimpse of light reminded me of what we had and what we lost.

If the sun fell to the sea, i'd set the sails westward to burn into eternity

Midnight whispers choke the daffodils that were in your hair.

I knew your smile by heart, my smiles were sent from your heart.
But where are they now.
And where can they be found

As my heart washes upon the shore, I will grieve not for the prettiest roses need the most rain

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are a beautiful representation of a person finding solace on a beach after dealing with the trauma of heartbreak. The singer mentions dropping their worries to the sand and focusing on the sky, indicating a desire to let go of their anxieties and immerse themselves in the present moment. The blue horizon reminds them of the person they lost and the last glimpse of light causes them to reflect on what they once had.

The lyrics then describe a feeling of willing to hold onto the past forever, even if it means burning into eternity. This could represent a reluctance to let go of the memories of the past relationship, or a desire to hold onto the beautiful moments they shared. The following lines describe a loss of the person in question, with the mention of midnight whispers choking the daffodils in their hair. The singer knew their smile by heart, but now they’re nowhere to be found.

The final line of the lyrics, “As my heart washes upon the shore, I will grieve not for the prettiest roses need the most rain”, is a poignant observation on the nature of pain and healing. The heart needs to process the pain of heartbreak just as rain is necessary for beautiful flowers to grow. The singer seems to have accepted this fact and is willing to embrace the rain and pain to grow into something beautiful.
