Far Closer
Andreya Triana Lyrics

In Andreya Triana's song, Far Closer, the singer longs to be close to someone, but seems to have trouble admitting it. The repeated phrase "If I could get far closer to you" suggests a desire for intimacy, but the couplet "I'm hiding behind it / But I can't deny what I know in my mind" shows that the singer is afraid to take action. The imagery of fading and clouding over suggest that this hesitation is causing the singer to lose herself in doubt and confusion, like being enveloped by a cloud. The reference to "summer in June" implies that the longing for intimacy is a seasonally specific one, perhaps highlighting a moment of transition to something new and exciting.

The verse "The love you gave me / On a silver spoon / Served me well and darling now I am full / I need something sweeter / I can't fight it" shows that the singer has experienced a previous relationship that was satisfying but not quite enough. She is now hungry for something sweeter, something richer, something that this previous love could not fulfill. The idea of something "served" implies that the relationship was presented to her as if on a platter, but the reference to needing something "sweeter" suggests that perhaps she did not appreciate it enough at the time -- and now wants more.

The song ultimately ends on an ambiguous note. The line "if I can be far closer to you, then I might..." leaves open the possibility of the singer achieving the closeness she desires. The final verse, however, repeats the earlier sentiment that "I can't deny what I feel inside," as if to suggest that no matter what happens, the singer will always feel this longing for the person she is singing to.
