Close To You
歐定興 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kogoe souna yoruni dakishimeru hodo koboreteku setsunasa
Sasaina kotoba dake ni kizutsu keraretari toki ni wa iyasare

Atata kai ude no naka, kuchibiru, uso, nante...
Maku shisoui nareba miseru yasashisa nante hoshiku nai

Please tell me how can I close to your heart

Kimi no subete wo toji kometei tai kono mune hari sakesou
Iisugita kotoba ienai kotoba ni hao tsutawaru namita
Kuishi katta yo honne wo tsutaeru yuuki ga kokoni nakute
Butsukaru koto yori nigete irukotode jibun wo moote tayo

Ashitahe no kimi wo yuuki zukeru ai wa dokini aruno?
Sasaeru chikarani nari taito omou tabi munosani makete

Mayou dakeno utsurona ai mama naranai omoide
Chiisa naasa no tsumi kasane kiete shimai soude...

Please tell me how can I close to your heart

Kimi no subete wo toji kometei tai kono mune afureru hodo
Hitori no yoruni subete no fuan to tata kaatei rutokimo
Kimi he no omoi wa yureru ganai tani daremo hoshiku hanai
Kimi wo ai suru kotodake demo ikiru kachini naatei rukara

Ha- hitoban ga owaru yarusenasato soshite ichinichi ga hajimaru fuan tono
Haza made
Ah-ha- ishon yogiru yasashisani kimi to kanji aitai to amai yume wo miteshi
Mau
I wanna hold by you (close to your heart) lonely night
I wanna spend night (close to your heart) forever

Kimi ga tsuraku make souna yoruni wa watashi no mune no maka de
Mamoote agetai iyashite agetai ai no subete wo kakete

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Close to You" by 歐定興 delve into the complexities of a relationship that is slowly falling apart. The opening lines talk about the pain felt by someone who is trying to hold onto a relationship that is slipping away. The use of the metaphor of holding onto something in a cold night that is slipping through your fingers denotes the urgency and desperation felt by the person. The lyrics also point out that sometimes small and thoughtless words can hurt the most and asks how to heal from the pain inflicted. The desire to be closer to the person's heart is expressed repeatedly throughout the song, a plea for understanding and closeness.

The lyrics also delve into the singer's insecurities about the relationship. The lyrics express the singer's desire to tell their true feelings to their partner but is held back by fears of rejection and vulnerability. The singer is fighting with the fact that they want to be able to trust and be vulnerable with their partner but are too scared to do so. The lyrics also talk about how a relationship, if not nurtured and cared for, can turn into a source of sadness and disappointment, and how memories can slowly start fading away.

The song's overarching message seems to be that love, though beautiful, can also be confusing, and that communication and understanding are crucial for a relationship to thrive.
