Closer
Applause Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Closer, it's not so far
The place so expected to reach
Just before your very eyes
You saw you saw what you wanted to see

Closer
It's not over
Closer
It's not over

Closer, it's not so far
The place so expected to reach
Just before your very eyes
You saw you saw what you wanted to see

If I lay down I'm led by the flow
The world is mine Oh so very mine




It could happen to belong
To any other soul in its trajectory

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Applause's song "Closer" speak of the desire to reach a destination that is close but seems distant at the same time. The place that is expected to be reached is seen just before the eyes, portraying a sense of hope and urgency to reach there. However, it is mentioned that what is seen is what the singer wants to see, which implies a sense of optimism and hope leading to a better future. The chorus reiterates that the destination is not over yet and can be achieved if given the right effort and hope.


In the second verse, the singer is led by the flow and is in control of their world. The world belongs to them, and they own it. It is mentioned that it could belong to any other soul in its trajectory, implying that everyone has the potential to own their own world and achieve their destiny with the right mindset.
