Close To You
Axel Coon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
The lyrics to Axel Coon's song "Close to You" speak of the longing that the singer feels towards the object of their affection, and how much they wish to be close to them. The song begins with the question, "Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?" which can be interpreted as the singer's way of expressing the inexplicable magic that their crush seems to possess. The line, "Just like me, they long to be close to you," reveals how the singer feels a sense of connection with the birds and how they too, aspire to be near their desired one.
The next verse, "Why do stars fall down from the sky every time you walk by?" is another example of the metaphorical language used in the song to describe the sense of awe and wonder that the singer feels when they see their love interest. The line, "Just like me, they long to be close to you" reinforces the idea that the stars, like the singer, want to be close to this special person.
This song is an ode to the exhilarating feelings of first love and the longing that comes with it. The repetitive nature of the lyrics only emphasizes the intensity of the emotions and the singer's desire to be close to the object of their affection.
