Closer
Embracing Shadows: Dead Rituals' Tale of Yearning and Surrender
Lyrics
You always get too close
You consistently approach too closely.
But then you turn away
However, you then distance yourself.
You lead me on for days again
You repeatedly lead me on for extended periods.
I'm not good at conversation, there's nothing else to say
I struggle with meaningful conversation, leaving nothing more to be said.
Hold me down and don't let go
Hold me down tightly and don't release.
I wanna sink in a tire swing with you
I desire to experience carefree joy with you, like swinging on a tire swing.
Hanging on and on and on
Hanging on in anticipation, continuously.
I wanna be on a fire escape with you
I aspire to be with you on a fire escape.
High above the city lights
Elevated above the illuminated city, a metaphorical and literal high point.
You left traces of your curse
You've left enduring signs of your influence or negative impact.
But I don't believe in ghosts
Despite the lingering effects, I don't believe in supernatural entities like ghosts.
Meet me in the darkest place
Suggesting a clandestine meeting in a secluded, perhaps symbolic, place.
I'm not good at confrontation
I struggle with direct confrontation and assertiveness.
I'll let you have your way
I yield and allow you to have your way or make decisions.
Do your worse to me
Challenge me as much as you want; I can endure it.
I wanna sink in a tire swing with you
Reiteration of the desire for carefree joy with you, like swinging on a tire swing.
Hanging on and on and on
Continuously hanging on, reinforcing the longing or commitment.
I wanna be on a fire escape with you
Expressing the desire to be with you on a fire escape once again.
High above the city lights
Revisiting the elevated perspective above city lights.
I think I found it
Suggesting the discovery of something significant or meaningful.
I think I found my way to your heart
Claiming to have found the way to your heart, a culmination of the journey.
