Close to Me
-M Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

J'ai tellement attendu
Ça m'a rendu malade
Alors aujourd'hui
Dans mon lit
Ce jour sans fin suffit
J'n'ai jamais vu un soir qui soit aussi
Close to me
Te voir dans le noir
J'aimerais seulement qu'ça marche
Sentir la peur
Avant qu'tu viennes

Danser avec ton ombre (tout près)
M'ouvre les yeux et je retiens mon souffle
Ouais j'en tremble

Si j'avais ta confiance
Alors ce serait sans danger
Si seulement j'étais sûr
Ma tête sur ce mur, un rêve

J'ai tellement attendu
Ça m'a rendu marteau
Alors aujourd'hui
Dans mon lit
Ce jour sans fin suffit
J'n'ai jamais vu un soir qui soit aussi
Close to me

Je verrais ton visage
Alors ce serait sans danger




Si seulement j'étais sûr
Ma tête sur ce mur un rêve

Overall Meaning

In "Close to Me," a song by French artist -M-, the lyrics express the emotions of waiting for someone who you deeply desire to be close to. The opening lines, "J'ai tellement attendu / Ça m'a rendu malade" ("I have waited so long / It's made me sick"), convey a sense of longing and desperation. This feeling is reinforced by the repetition of the phrase "Ce jour sans fin suffit" ("This endless day is enough"), suggesting that the wait has lasted for an eternity.


Throughout the song, the singer yearns for the person they are waiting for, expressing a desire to see them in the darkness ("Te voir dans le noir"), feel the fear before they arrive ("Sentir la peur / Avant qu'tu viennes"), and dance with their shadow ("Danser avec ton ombre"). The lyrics convey a sense of excitement and nervousness, as the singer acknowledges that their desire is risky and uncertain ("Si j'avais ta confiance / Alors ce serait sans danger").


Ultimately, the song is about the intensity of waiting for love, and the fear that comes with it. The repeated refrain of "Close to me" reinforces the desire for closeness and intimacy, while the phrasing of the lines leaves the singer unsure if that desire will ever be fulfilled.

Great movie! The kid who missed his/ her mom,dad. The blind grand ma who has none to care for,the frantic search of the child for her mother and the motherly care and concern by the police woman who had no child of her own. It is a genuine human story that can take place anywhere in the world. Thank you for uploading this. The Eng subtitles were clear and legible.

Francis Leong

Thank you for a true story superb movie. So moving and touching. I particularly like the character played by the lead actress. I hope the government fund these organisations for innocent children nowadays.

🙏🏼 Peace and Blessings
Good story. I enjoyed it.
Hard to read the white letters against white background.
If you are going to take the trouble to get this drama transalated why don't you use a black background so English speaking viewers can read the words more easily without squinting and hurting their eyes....plus you will get older viewers to subscribe.
