Seventh Day Slumber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not just where I live
Do you really wanna know me
Not just by the color of my skin
Do you really wanna know me
Not just by things I did
If you really got to know me
Well it might take a little time
And I am more than where I've been
And I am more than what they say about me
And I'm more I'm more than what you think
Do you really wanna know him
The man who lives under that bridge
Do you really wanna know him
And hear about the life he's lived
If you really got to know him
You might be just a bit surprised
How he lost his job in 1983
And how that cancer got his wife
He's more than what he looks like
He is more than where he's been
He is more than where he's lived enough to be
He's more he's more than what you think
And I am more than what I look like,
And I more than what I look like,
And I am more than what I look like,
And I more than where I've been,
And I am more than what they say about me,
And I'm more I'm more
Seventh Day Slumber's song "More" is an introspective piece that encourages listeners to look beyond superficial traits to truly get to know someone. In the first verse, the lyrics ask if someone wants to know the singer for more than just their physical appearance or background. The following verses extend this sentiment to others, such as the man living under a bridge, who is more than his circumstances. The chorus emphasizes that each individual is more than what they appear to be, and their complexity cannot be summed up in a single trait or label.
The song is a reminder that every person has a story and a unique perspective, and taking the time to get to know them can reveal a depth and richness that might not be readily apparent. By encouraging listeners to look past initial assumptions and judgments, the song promotes empathy and a deeper understanding of those around us. It also highlights the importance of truly listening to others and valuing their experiences and perspectives.
