The first part of the song shows signs of loneliness. General Commenti don't believe this song has anything to do with vampires, but the fact that this guy has been waiting for this girl to come around for a very long time. Like getting over a break up that ended badly and he wants to move on from that episode in his life. I think this song is about realizing everything that happen during a break up, it's almost like he is trying to convinced himself to change for the better. He is realizing that thinking about her all the time is not worth it anymore. "Two thousands years of chasing taking it's toll" - He is tired of chasing her, always thinking about her until the point of frustration. "Baby I'll bleed you dry" - Means that he will try his best to forget about the girl until she is dry out of his system. "Open up your eyes" - Telling himself that he has to be realistic about the situations that happen and he has to "wake up."
"Leaving me stranded all in love on my own, do you think of me?" - I think this is self explanatory, "does she still think of him?" General Comment"She took my heart, I think she took my soul" - She turn his world upside down, he wasn't himself anymore his life completely changed. That's why the two thousand might be the key to the song. The idea of looking for ideal love, looks familliar to christianity doesn't it? where you struggle for faith for your entire life. That means you gotta go forward and look for something new. So you loose your will to live, yet biologically you still go on. You doubt in love, the worst part of it that you'll feel like that many times, because that's life: "driven by the strangle of veins". So what do you do in that sytuation? you doubt. So with all that unrest, you feel that something bad is about to happen, lonliness possibly? It's coming.
#MEANING OF CLOSER SONG PLUS#
Words paint you a view, of when the hurricane is about to hit, the lines about the storm bubbling up on the sea kinda hint this out, and those swaying stop signs, plus phone lines being down. I love the first part of the song oozes with anxiety. The number is important, because it clearly points towards religion.īut it's not about religion, it's more about love, about the loss of it. and it can’t just be easy anymore.My InterpretationI still think it's: two thousand not two hundred. (that is our life, we walk right into the strife) sortof saying he doesn’t really believe things could change at this point. the part that says ‘but when i was a man, i put away childish things’ it is refering to being immature, and needing to grow up and atc maturely.(photographs and brightly coloured paper are your masks you wear) her hiding herself or her true feelings.(in this caper) caper suggests a criminal act, which in his eyes, is the two of them not being together.
(amongst your toys, in a room where i can take no more) okay so i kinda figured this out from an episode of being human, where a quote from the bible was used. (hush my baby now, your talking is just noise and won’t lay me down) this may refer to him not wanting to argue or talk about sad things, and that he just wants to love her. (walk me down your broken line) a broken line has parts you can’t see, so here he is asking her to open up and let him into the part of her that she keeps from him. You know like a phoenix, burns to ashes and is reborn. (won’t you be the new one burn to shine) here he’s asking her to be happy and better herself. Or more likely, sad girls (blue ones) he falls for sad girls.(wish it were over, we seem to never end) is like they’re in a spiral, he goes to her whenever she needs him, but again, to no end.(all you have to do is cry)(a tear from your eye brings me home) You take the blue pill to stay in the fantasy. As far as the (take the blue ones everytime) there’s a small chance that’s a reference to the pills in the matrix.
but it’s like they have a very strong friendship and she sees him as a shoulder to cry on.(the clouds in your eyes, down your face they pour) which brings them closer, but to no end.(we seem to neer end only get closer) they’re never really together. whether her feelings are mutual i can’t tell. To me this song is about a guy really liking, maybe loving, a girl. Your talking is just noise and won’t lay me downĪmongst your toys in a room where i can take no more,Īre your mask you wear in this caper, that is our life, I take the blue ones every time, walk me down your broken line, The clouds in your eyes, down your face they pour, Only get closer, to the point where i can take no more, I wish it were over, we seem to never end,
