Past Members: Alex Silverman
Forming back in 2007, This Century have quickly become one of the more exciting pop/rock bands to enter the scene. With their first LP release on Action Theory/Warner Bros. entitled “Sound Of Fire”, the band solidified their spot amongst the top tier of the pop/rock circuit. Soon after the release, AP Magazine named the them as one of the “100 Bands You Need To Know for 2011”. Their unique combination of anthemic pop and die hard grassroots fan base has led them to extensive tour dates with the likes of Good Charlotte, The Maine, The Ready Set, Breathe Carolina, Hey Monday and many others.
The band has recently teamed up with producer Colby Wedgeworth (The Maine) to work on music for their upcoming second LP that is yet to be released. ”We’re always trying to push the limits of what a pop band can be and we feel that we strive to top ourselves each time around.” says guitarist Sean Silverman about the upcoming release. The band is gearing up for a busy year that kick-starts with their brand new single. The song is an upbeat tour de force of pop that frontman Joel Kanitz calls ”the perfect summer anthem with a larger than life sound.”
This Century has most recently seen a large rise in popularity in Southeast Asia, where their songs “Sound of Fire” and “Everywhere, Everything” have both reached #1 on top 40 radio formats and continue to receive consistent radio attention. Plans for 2012 will include a run of international dates in support of their recent success. “We really feel like we’re developing something special internationally, something completely organic and new.” says bassist Alex Silverman, “There’s an excitement surrounding it that makes you eager to find out where our amazing fans are going to take the band next.”

This Century Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you're away from me, just turn yourself around
I'm in debt to you always, as we make the same mistakes
Just know jealousy's no longer in the way
Let's learn to put the past behind us,
Let love would push through the door and find us
Keep your heart wide open, so I can fix what's broken
We could sprawl across our floor, staying up until it's four
Make your eyes my entertainment for tonight
Make a home to call our own, I know it's nothing yet,
But we could make it great, because we would never be alone
Alone, alone, alone
Let's learn to put the past behind us,
Let love would push through the door and find us
Keep your heart wide open, so I can fix what's broken
Stay around, maybe I can be a better me
I can be a better me, I can be a better me
I can be a better me, a better me
Just keep your heart wide open, so I can fix what's broken
Stay around, maybe
Let's learn to put the past behind us,
Let love would push through the door and find us
Keep your heart wide open, so I can fix what's broken
Stay around maybe, I can be a better me
I can be a better me, I can be a better me
I can be a better me, I can be a better me
The song "Money Honey" by This Century is about a relationship that is lacking in material wealth, but still has the time and love to offer. The singer acknowledges that they do not have the financial means to provide for their partner, but they do have the time and willingness to be there for them. The line "I'm in debt to you always" suggests that their partner has been there for them in the past and the singer wants to repay them. The line "Let's learn to put the past behind us" indicates that there may have been issues in the past, perhaps even jealousy, but the singer wants to move past that and focus on the present and future.
The chorus is a plea to their partner to keep their heart open so that the singer can fix whatever is broken between them. There is a sense of hope that they can make things better and become a "better me" with their partner's help. The last line "maybe I can be a better me" is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the importance of the relationship in the singer's personal growth and development.
Overall, the song is about the value of love and time over material wealth and the importance of working through past issues with a partner in order to create a better future together.
