Beyond the Surface: Unveiling the Depths of Identity in Seventh Day Slumber's 'More'
Lyrics
Do you really wanna know me
Expressing a desire for genuine understanding.
Not just where I live
Emphasizing that knowing the physical location isn't sufficient.
Do you really wanna know me
Reiterating the need for a deeper understanding beyond appearances.
Not just by the color of my skin
Rejecting judgment based solely on external characteristics like skin color.
Do you really wanna know me
Continuing to challenge superficial judgments.
Not just by things I did
Avoiding defining identity solely by past actions.
If you really got to know me
Encouraging genuine connection, acknowledging it may take time.
Well it might take a little time
Highlighting the complexity of the individual.
Cause I am more than what I look like
Stating that the person is more than physical appearance.
And I am more than where I've been
Emphasizing a broader identity beyond geographical history.
And I am more than what they say about me
Rejecting external opinions and stereotypes.
And I'm more I'm more than what you think
Asserting independence from preconceived notions.
Do you really wanna know him
Extending the call for understanding to others.
The man who lives under that bridge
Highlighting a specific individual's challenging circumstances.
Do you really wanna know him
Encouraging listening to personal life experiences.
And hear about the life he's lived
Suggesting that knowing someone deeply may be enlightening.
If you really got to know him
Emphasizing potential surprise upon learning someone's story.
You might be just a bit surprised
Indicating that understanding involves uncovering unexpected details.
How he lost his job in 1983
Revealing a specific hardship faced by the mentioned individual.
And how that cancer got his wife
Explaining another aspect of the individual's life story.
He's more than what he looks like
Reaffirming the multifaceted nature of the person.
He is more than where he's been
Stressing the complexity of personal history.
He is more than where he's lived enough to be
Highlighting the accumulation of life experiences.
He's more he's more than what you think
Reiterating that the individual surpasses external judgments.
And I am more than what I look like,
Repeating the idea of transcending physical appearance.
And I more than what I look like,
Reiterating the theme of depth beyond external looks.
And I am more than what I look like,
Emphasizing that appearance does not define identity.
And I more than where I've been,
Highlighting the diversity of personal experiences.
And I am more than what they say about me,
Rejecting external judgments and gossip about the individual.
And I'm more I'm more
Affirming a multi-faceted identity beyond perceptions.
