Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is there some higher power
Is there coincidence
Is there a fate
Can this be true
Can this be meant to happen
Give me a sign and I will follow
Give me a sign
Show me the right way
Point in the right direction
What is crossing your mind
Do you still have to find
An answer to all these ancient questions
What do you hope to find
Something well worth to hide
Like answers to all these ancient questions
Is there an afterlife
Are we reborn
And our loved ones
We need we to mourn
We gonna meet again
A little later then
So show some patience
And a little faith
Give me a sign
Could you please lead me
Show me the right way
Point in the right direction
What is crossing your mind
Do you still have to find
An answer to all these ancient questions
What do you hope to find
Something well worth to hide
Like answers to all these ancient questions
What is crossing your mind
Do you still have to find
An answer to all these ancient questions
What do you hope to find
Something well worth to hide
Like answers to all these ancient questions
In the opening lyrics of Friendship's song "Give Me More," the singer demands clarification on a situation that may have given them doubts. The singer is wary of the words that someone just spoke to them and asked to repeat it to ensure they understood it right. The singer expresses their ability to differentiate lies from the truth and implies the listeners must do better than coming up with deceptive lines. The second verse details an instance of lateness and excuses. The singer sarcastically questions the one that's tardy on their reasons, throwing back their reasoning skills. When confronted about the smell of alcohol, the latecomer denies and tries to pin it on a men's aftershave. The final verse raises the issue of missing money, used to pay rent, the money has gone missing, and the singer challenges the other party to explain where it went.
The song portrays a sassy and bold persona who demands the truth from their friend/partner. The repetitive chorus of "Would you run that by me one more time?" accentuates the singer's increasing frustration, skepticism, and disbelief. The song's theme revolves around honesty and communication and making sure someone's words and actions align. The song calls for transparency and an end to deception.
Line by Line Meaning
Run that by me one more time
Could you repeat what you said because I want to make sure that I understood correctly.
To make sure that I heard you right
I want to confirm that I understood what you just communicated.
I hope you don't expect me to believe that line
I don't believe what you just said, and I don't want you to expect me to believe a lie.
I might be crazy, but I ain't dumb
I may not be entirely sane, but I am not foolish enough to believe your lies.
And I know a lie when I hear one
I can recognize a falsehood when I hear one.
Would you run that by me one more time?
Could you please repeat what you said once more to ensure that I understood your message correctly?
Well, you're late again, I see
I have observed that you are once again behind schedule.
What's your excuse this time?
What reason or explanation do you have for being late again?
Don't you try to kiss and make up
Don't try to apologize or make amends for your errors.
When you smell so strong from wine
You cannot mask the scent of alcohol on your breath.
Well, I'm not late, the clock is wrong
I am not to blame for being behind schedule; rather, it is a problem with the clock.
You need to wind Big Ben
The clock may need to be manually adjusted or maintained.
Honey, that's not wine you smell
I am aware that the scent emanating from your person is not from wine.
That's aftershave for men
The aroma is caused by men's fragrances, not wine.
What happened to the money
I am inquiring about the funds that were provided to you for payment.
I gave you to pay the rent?
The money was meant for paying the rent?
The rent is overdue
The payment for rent is due, and we have missed the deadline.
And we ain't got one red cent
We don't have any money left to make payments.
I put it in the cookie jar
I had kept the money in a safe place for payment.
The day you brought it home
The precise moment you gave me the funds is when it was stashed.
One day when I came back from town
On a later day, during my absence the money went missing.
I looked and I'll be dogged if that money wasn't gone!
I searched for it and found it to be missing, much to my surprise!
Would you run that by me one more time?
Could you please repeat that point or message to confirm my understanding? Thank you.
