So Close
Navigating the Distance: Unveiling Life's Paradoxes in 'So Close'
Lyrics
There is a better way to live our lives
Expressing the belief in a better way to lead life.
And I must find it if I can
Expressing a determination to find the better way.
But when I speak of change you look at me strange
Encountering resistance or misunderstanding when advocating for change.
Sometimes you just don't understand
Highlighting the difficulty in being understood by others.
So close (so close) yet so far
Emphasizing a close proximity or relationship that feels distant.
So close (so close) yet it's au revoir
Despite the closeness, bidding farewell (au revoir).
So close (so close) but it's not the way it seems
Contrasting the apparent closeness with a different reality.
So close (so close) but dreaming different dreams
Being close physically but having divergent dreams or goals.
I always try to tell you where I came from
Attempting to share personal background and beliefs.
What I believe and who I am
Expressing identity and convictions.
I just can't see how we could ever agree
Doubting the possibility of agreement due to differences.
We always end where we began
Noting a pattern of returning to the starting point in discussions.
So close (so close) yet so far
Reiterating the theme of closeness yet distance.
So close (so close) yet it's au revoir
Bidding farewell despite the nearness.
So close (so close) but it's not the way it seems
Highlighting a disparity between appearance and reality.
So close (so close) but dreaming different dreams
Being physically close but having different aspirations.
I don't believe in the things you believe I can't stay
Expressing a lack of belief in the other person's values.
tonight
Declaring an inability to stay tonight.
Can't compramise we must say our goodbyes the feeling
Stating the necessity to part ways without compromising.
isn't right
Feeling that the situation is not right or comfortable.
Although we are far apart I know we've been close
Acknowledging a historical closeness despite current distance.
It won't be easy to forget
Acknowledging the difficulty of forgetting the connection.
Our world is upside down and when it's turned round
Describing a world that seems chaotic and inverting.
I won't deny that once we met
Admitting a past connection without denying it.
So close (so close) yet so far
Reiterating the theme of close yet far.
So close (so close) yet it's au revoir
Saying goodbye despite the perceived closeness.
So close (so close) but it's not the way it seems
Emphasizing the difference between appearance and reality.
So close (so close) but dreaming different dreams
Being close physically but having different dreams.
Repeat chorus (x3)
Repeating the chorus three times for emphasis.
