So Much More
Embrace the Essence Within: Lilja Scarfi's 'So Much More'
Lyrics
What is the first thing you see
Opening question about perception and observation.
When you look at me?
Continuation of the question, inviting the listener to reflect on how they perceive the speaker.
What is one word you would use
Asking for a single word that summarizes the speaker's essence or character.
To describe me?
Extending the theme of self-perception, prompting for a descriptive word.
Oh, do you see me for my kindness? Kindness
Raising the question of whether kindness is the quality the observer notices in the speaker.
Oh, or do you form a picture of me after my looks?
Asking if the observer constructs an image based on physical appearance.
I know it's so easy to do
Acknowledging the ease with which people make judgments about others.
But I'm not my body
Asserting that the speaker's identity is not solely defined by their physical body.
I just wanna love my body
Expressing the desire to love and appreciate one's own body.
I speak with excitement
Describing the speaker's enthusiastic communication about things they love.
When I talk 'bout things I love, oh
Highlighting the passion and effort put into caring less about others' opinions.
I worked so hard to just don't care
Emphasizing the speaker's independence from external judgments.
Of others' opinions of me
Asserting the speaker's disregard for others' opinions about them.
I don't know who's place it is to define me
Expressing uncertainty about who has the authority to define the speaker.
Or who I should be
Pondering the question of identity and who the speaker should be.
No, there's no room
Declaring a lack of space for negative emotions or vulnerability.
Not shedding a tear for you, for you
Reiterating the theme of emotional detachment from others' opinions.
Oh, do you see me for my kindness? Kindness
Repeating the question about whether kindness is noticed in the speaker.
Oh, or do you form a picture of me after my looks?
Reiterating the consideration of forming judgments based on looks.
I know it's so easy to do
Acknowledging the simplicity of forming judgments based on appearance.
But I'm not my body
Reaffirming that the speaker's identity transcends their physical body.
I just wanna love my body
Expressing the desire to love one's body despite external judgments.
I speak with excitement
Highlighting the enthusiastic communication about the speaker's passions.
When I talk 'bout things I love
Reiterating the speaker's dedication to the things they love.
All you see is my body
Pointing out that external observers primarily focus on the speaker's body.
Can't you see I'm not my body?
Asserting that the speaker is more than just their physical body.
I'm a girl who loves the people around her
Describing the speaker as a person who loves those around them.
People that make the world so much happier
Expressing appreciation for people who contribute to making the world happier.
(Oh, ah)
A vocalization expressing emotions (Oh, ah).
You're so much more
Repetition emphasizing that the speaker is much more than their body.
(Oh, ah)
-You're so much more
-(Oh, ah)
-You're so much more
-(Oh, ah)
-You're so much more
-(Oh, ah)
-You're so much more
-(Oh, ah)
-You're so much more
-I'm not my body
-I just wanna love my body
-(I'm, body, love my body)
Final affirmation of the desire to love one's own body.
