We Look for More
Seeking Meaning Beyond the Glow
Lyrics
Did you ever wonder why the lights
Reflecting on the curiosity about the beauty of lights.
They look so pretty in the past
Acknowledging the appealing nature of lights in hindsight.
But in the moment we’re not built to notice?
Noting that in the present moment, people often overlook such beauty.
We turn our heads
Expressing the act of turning away or ignoring something.
We look for more
Highlighting the human tendency to seek more in various aspects of life.
But most of us don’t know what to look for
Observing that many individuals are uncertain about what they truly seek.
I’m trying to turn these thoughts into a flower
Desiring to transform thoughts into something beautiful, perhaps to attract attention.
‘Cause maybe then you’d notice that
Suggesting that a symbolic flower might make the speaker more noticeable.
I’ve thought of you for hours
Expressing the duration and depth of the speaker's thoughts about someone.
But you turn your head
Noting the act of the person being addressed turning away and seeking more.
You look for more
Emphasizing the perpetual search for something more without clear direction.
Then you tell me you don’t know what to look for
Highlighting the irony of seeking more without knowing what to look for.
And I have wished for winter
Expressing a desire for a change or a different season in life.
On a perfect summer’s day
Describing a contrast between a perfect day and a wish for a different season.
And I always sing the loudest
Indicating a tendency to express oneself loudly through singing but not verbally.
To the words I’ll never say
Referring to unspoken words or feelings that are not communicated.
And I turn my head
Repeating the act of turning one's head, continuing the theme of seeking more.
And I look for more
Reiterating the perpetual search for something beyond the current state.
And I pretend that it’s not you
Pretending that the search is not for the person being addressed.
That I’m looking for
Acknowledging the act of wasting love on the wrong pursuits.
So I waste my love
Expressing the negative consequences of misdirected love.
And it leaves me cold
Describing the emotional impact of misguided affection.
And all these petals keep on falling
Using falling petals as a metaphor for the passage of time and aging.
To the sound of growing old
Connecting the imagery of falling petals with the sound of growing old.
And I’m so scared
Expressing fear of waiting too long and missing out on an opportunity.
That I’ll wait too long
Continuing the theme of fear, specifically the fear of delayed action.
And by the time you realise that you might miss me
Anticipating a realization by the person being addressed, but fearing it might be too late.
Then this flower might be gone
Connecting the idea of a fleeting opportunity with the imagery of a disappearing flower.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Introducing a nonsensical musical refrain that may symbolize uncertainty or complexity.
Doo doo doo doo doo
Repeating the nonsensical refrain, maintaining a sense of uncertainty or ambiguity.
And I'll always be this way
Affirming a constant state of being, possibly expressing a desire for permanence.
Did you ever wonder why the lights
Recalling the earlier contemplation about the beauty of lights.
They look so pretty in the past
Reiterating the observation of the aesthetic appeal of lights in the past.
But in the moment we’re not built to notice?
Repeating the idea that in the present, people often fail to appreciate beauty.
We turn our heads
Continuing the theme of turning heads and seeking more without clear direction.
We look for more
Reiterating the perpetual search for something beyond the current state.
But most of us don’t know what to look for
Emphasizing the common lack of clarity in knowing what individuals truly seek.
