More than a Man
Smith & Dragoman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Play in my defense
Knee deep in the water
Looking in
I think of last October
I think of what it meant
To feel something completely
Heaven sent
More than time
More than time
Thicker than blood
But never enough
More than time
Live the life I'm dreaming
Clean and pure and fine
Shadows of my own making
In a fickle mind
I need more than time
More than time
Thicker than blood
Never enough
More than time
Who do you run to when
Love let go and
You don't want anything
Desire is a gift once
Given to the Body
In the soul of a stranger
I can hear it ring
Fed on daily portion
Fed on daily cup
I think it's worth surviving
I think it is enough
More than time
More than time
Thicker than blood
Ever enough
More than time
The song "More than a Man" by Smith & Dragoman is a melodic take on the concept of love, exploring the depths of what it means to truly feel something, as well as the painful feeling of losing that same something. The lyrics portray a speaker who is reflecting on last October while being knee-deep in water, reminding them of what they felt for someone that they considered to be a gift from heaven. The lyrics build on the idea that time isn't always enough to heal emotional wounds, no matter how much love there is.
Throughout the song, the singer considers the idea that love is more than just time and blood, emphasizing how much more goes into a relationship. The lyrics indicate a sense of longing and desire to have a life that is more than just a dream, but something that is truly a reality. The song also touches on the concept that love can be fleeting and can come from unexpected sources through the mention of a "soul of a stranger."
