Closer Than You Think
Closer Than It Seems
Lyrics
At it for a while
Working on this for some time
And nothing ever gives
No progress despite efforts
Thinking you missed a turn back aways
Reflecting on a potential wrong decision made earlier
Feels like a mile
Feels like a significant distance
Just to move an inch
Progress is extremely slow
And you wonder what it's gonna take
Curious about what more is needed
And you wonder if it's all a waste
Questioning the value of the effort
Oh
Expression of realization
If you could only see
A hint that a breakthrough is near
The wall's about to crumble
Things are on the verge of changing significantly
I know it's been a struggle
Acknowledgment of the difficulties faced
But you're closer than, you're closer than you think
Encouragement that success is close despite appearances
You're closer than you think
Reiteration of the closeness to success
Sitting in the dark
Metaphorically in a challenging or uncertain situation
Waiting on the stars
Anticipating a positive change, hoping for luck
Thinking through all the places you've been
Reviewing past experiences and choices
Isn't what it seems
Contradiction between perception and reality
Chasing down a dream
Pursuing ambitions repeatedly
It's the same thing again and again
Continuing in a repetitive cycle
But you know there's a light at the end
Optimism for a positive outcome despite challenges
Oh
Another expression of realization
If you could only see
Hinting at an imminent breakthrough
The wall's about to crumble
Similar to line 10, anticipating change
I know it's been a struggle
Acknowledgment of persistent difficulties
But you're closer than, you're closer than you think
Reassurance that success is near despite obstacles
You're closer than you think
Reiterating the closeness to success
And you wonder what it's gonna take
Repeating the curiosity about what's needed
And you wonder if it's all a waste
Repeating the questioning of the effort's worth
Yea, you wonder
Continued contemplation about the situation
Oh
Expression of realization, similar to lines 8 and 21
If you could only see
Reiteration of the imminent breakthrough
The wall's about to crumble
Similar to lines 10 and 23, foreseeing significant change
I know it's been a struggle
Acknowledgment of continued challenges
But you're closer than, you're closer than you think
Reaffirmation that success is close despite hardships
You're closer than you think
Repeating the proximity to success
You're closer than you think
Emphasizing again the closeness to success
You're closer than you think
Final emphasis on the nearness to success
