| Travis – More Than Us Lyrics | 23 years ago |

I truly love this song. I love to listen to it and "And everybody wants a hand But I'm too busy holding up the world To carry on " in particular gives quite the mental image. This is really one of my favorite songs - however it saddens me to say I really am not quite sure what it is really about. I'd love if someone could explain it to me. |

Indeed, Arkanna is right. I have a CD called "Absolute Travis" or something similar, and Fran explains how when he was writing it he was thinking up things that become other things when they mature. He got Caterpillars turn to Butterflies, and tried to shorten it with Carter turn to Flies, but that didn't make sense. So then he tried Pillars turn to Butter, and he went with that because it gives you the image of some Ancient Greek architectural Columns/Pillars that turn to butter, or in other-words break and become nothing but rubble and debris. Also when I saw them in Concert, Fran said before playing this song that it was about that person that everyone knows that has so much potential but drifts and does nothing with their lives. |
