So Much More
Beyond Punk: Embracing a Meaningful Beat
Lyrics
No you're never gonna be anything more than just another punk band,
No potential to be more than a typical punk band.
it's never gonna be anything more, than rock and roll.
The essence of the music is confined to rock and roll.
Let's play our song it's been so many times before,
Repetition of a familiar song despite its frequent performance.
but you keep on listening, because you wanna believe that it's possible.
Listeners hold on, driven by a desire to believe in possibilities.
Abandon artistic integrity.
Sacrifice artistic principles.
Drop all pretensions and just lock into the beat,
Abandon pretensions and embrace the rhythm.
we can have some more in a solid, melody.
Promotion of a catchy melody for more enjoyment.
Means so much more, than the city and state.
Music holds greater significance than location.
Means so much more, than fame and adulation.
Value transcends fame and praise.
Gonna prove that we're more than our fathers, sons, and daughters.
Aspiration to surpass family expectations.
That we're meant for so much more than the future could ever offer.
Ambition for a purpose beyond foreseeable futures.
So here we come gunning for revenge.
Seeking retaliation and asserting their presence.
It's a little too late for an apology.
Too late for apologies, suggesting a conflict or defiance.
Means so much more than they could ever give to us. (x2)
The meaning surpasses what others can offer, emphasized.
I'm, not, asking for your acceptance.
Not seeking approval or understanding from others.
I'm, not, waiting for you to understand.
Independence from waiting for comprehension.
Means so much more than a lover.
Love holds lesser significance compared to their goal.
Means so much more than the actor.
Acting holds lesser significance compared to their goal.
So much more, than your complete devotion.
Emphasizing the insignificance of complete devotion.
So, much, more, than you could ever give to me.
Underlining the limited value others can provide.
And maybe we'll never see our efforts indicated.
Doubts about recognition for their efforts.
Maybe we'll never amount to anything.
Acknowledging uncertainty about achieving success.
We're not looking back,
Forward-looking, avoiding retrospection.
we're not making compromises,
Unwillingness to make concessions or compromises.
we are willing to dare,
Expressing a readiness to take risks.
we are willing to believe.
Firm belief and willingness to trust in their goals.
If I only had more time,
Lamenting a lack of time to elaborate on their vision.
if I only had more words to explain.
Desire for more resources to articulate their message.
So much more, than the world could ever give to me. (x6)
Repeated emphasis on the inadequacy of worldly offerings.
