More Than A Song by Hunter Kozak Lyrics
Art is more than just the artist
Just like pain is more than being heartless
The hardest thing when seeing darkness
Is to find strength, and change, and meaning
Meaning it's hard the harder your heart is beating
Darkness is more than a light not being
Life is more than just a part of breathing
Art is more than just the artist singing
Art is meaning something as someone else puts a meaning into it
As they're seeing into it; seeing all the life and the pain that I'm breathing into it
And I'm feeling pissed a bit
Cuz I'm thinking they won't get a bit of it
Understand what I'm trying to say
I'm trying to say that my mind is insane
There's a question to be that's inside of my brain
But an essence of me that I'm dying to say
I'm saying:
Art is more than just the artist
Yeah, yeah
Art is more than just the artist
Don't you say it's just a portrait
Just cuz you can't see the art
Don't you say it's just an organ
Just cuz you can't see the heart
A painting's just a portrait
Until you can see the art
Don't you say it's just an organ
Until you can see the heart
Because art is more than that
It's been a feeling all along
It's that feeling of returning
After feeling that you're gone
And you're feeling almost certain
That you feel like you belong
Look behind the verses...
Because music is more than just a song
Music saved my life
Cuz music's not about the singer
It's about the people listening
The listeners and thinkers
It's not dancing till your feet hurt
Although that could be part of it
Relieving all the stress, it's best
To listen to your heart a bit
If meaning's not the heart of it
And lyrics have been carpeted
Then change what's being harvested
And don't you think to harbor it
Expelling thoughts and finding you, lyrically or not
And then the only thing that's driving you's the fear of being stopped
You're scared to try to say something
But I'm terrified to say nothing
You're scared to try to say something
But I'm terrified to say nothing
Don't you say it's just a portrait
Just cuz you can't see the art
Don't you say it's just an organ
Just cuz you can't see the heart
A painting's just a portrait
Until you can see the art
Don't you say it's just an organ
Don't you say it's just an organ
And now I'm slipping...
I feel I'm brinking on despair
Cuz no one's living...
They're just breathing in the air
No one's listening...
And no one's singing when they care
They all are missing...
All the meanings we can share
Because art is more than that
It's been a feeling all along
It's that feeling of returning
After feeling that you're gone
And you're feeling almost certain
That you feel like you belong
Look behind the verses..
Look behind that curtains
This is music, and it's more than just a song
Just like pain is more than being heartless
The hardest thing when seeing darkness
Is to find strength, and change, and meaning
Meaning it's hard the harder your heart is beating
Darkness is more than a light not being
Life is more than just a part of breathing
Art is more than just the artist singing
Art is meaning something as someone else puts a meaning into it
As they're seeing into it; seeing all the life and the pain that I'm breathing into it
And I'm feeling pissed a bit
Cuz I'm thinking they won't get a bit of it
Understand what I'm trying to say
I'm trying to say that my mind is insane
There's a question to be that's inside of my brain
But an essence of me that I'm dying to say
I'm saying:
Art is more than just the artist
Yeah, yeah
Art is more than just the artist
Don't you say it's just a portrait
Just cuz you can't see the art
Don't you say it's just an organ
Just cuz you can't see the heart
A painting's just a portrait
Until you can see the art
Don't you say it's just an organ
Until you can see the heart
Because art is more than that
It's been a feeling all along
It's that feeling of returning
After feeling that you're gone
And you're feeling almost certain
That you feel like you belong
Look behind the verses...
Because music is more than just a song
Music saved my life
Cuz music's not about the singer
