Close to You
Eternal Emptiness: Close to You's Poignant Journey
Lyrics
So many years that we were one
Reflecting on the years of unity with someone.
So many things we've done
Recalling shared experiences and activities.
The memories alive
The memories of the past are still vivid and alive.
But most of me has died
Expressing a sense of personal loss or emotional death despite memories.
As I struggle with events
Struggling with current events or circumstances.
I'm offered words of strength
Receiving words of encouragement or support.
They do not comprehend
Feeling that others don't fully understand the situation.
The passion we possessed
Remembering the intensity of the past passion.
People tell me what to do
Receiving advice from others on what to do.
Tell me how I should get through
Guidance on how to cope or endure the challenges.
But they haven't got a clue
Others lack a true understanding of the situation.
No one else comes close to you
Expressing that nobody else compares to the person in question.
I see your eyes before they closed
Recalling the final moments and gaze of the person before their passing.
They looked right inside my soul
Feeling a deep connection through eye contact.
And they asked me not to grieve
The departed person requested not to grieve.
I tried but still I bleed
Struggling to cope despite the request, resulting in emotional pain.
I wake up, I break up
Waking up and confronting the breakup or loss.
Try hard to shake off
Attempting to overcome the overwhelming feeling of emptiness.
The desolation as it grows
Facing increasing desolation and sorrow.
As nothing else comes close
Nothing else compares or provides comfort.
And as I stand here by the grave
Standing by the grave of the departed person.
And the wind calls out your name
Hearing the wind call out the name of the departed.
I know that time could never heal
Believing that time cannot heal the emotional void.
The emptiness I feel
Feeling a persistent sense of emptiness.
People try to give me hope
Others attempt to offer hope and encouragement.
Tell me how I should let go
Advising on the process of letting go and moving forward.
But they'll never really know
Others may not fully comprehend the depth of the emotional struggle.
'Cause there's nothing else comes close
Nothing else comes close in terms of emotional significance.
People tell me what to do
Receiving guidance from others on coping with the loss.
Tell me how I should get through
Advice on navigating the challenges and grief.
But they haven't got a clue
Others lack a true understanding of the situation (repeated theme).
No one else comes close to you
Reiterating that nobody else compares to the person in question (repeated theme).
