Closure
BoySetsFire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To a place that neither knows
where anger leaves us breathless,
completely bored and restless
With a silence that explodes
Let it go ‘cause it’s over now
Let it die before it eats you up inside
I’ll walk away and you can live the lie
Pass and store the isolation we crash, burn and placate
All the wound they hold us down
Fading harsh into the same song
What point is there to hold on
‘Cause its over now
It’s not a crime of passion… more of a subtle lines
Creating lifeless plastic
Out of garbage redefined
The lyrics of BoySetsFire's song "Closure" are about a relationship or a situation that has reached its saturation point, and the two people involved have realized that they need to move on from it. The first part of the lyrics talks about how the two people are gradually taking steps back from each other because they don't know where their anger is taking them. They are both feeling restless and bored with the silence between them because they know that it can explode at any moment. The singer then urges the other person to let it go and move on because it's over anyway. They both need to let go of the situation before it eats them up inside. The singer is willing to walk away from the situation and let the other person live a lie if it means that they can both survive.
The second part of the lyrics talks about how the two people have tried everything - isolation, crash, burn, and placate - to salvage the situation, but it's too late now. The wounds are just holding them down, and they are fading into the same song with no point to hold on anymore. The singer emphasizes that it's not a crime of passion but more of a subtle line that has been crossed. They have turned everything into lifeless plastic, including the garbage that they have redefined. The lyrics suggest that the relationship is beyond repair, and the only thing left to do is to move on.

I met these guys before a show in San Diego back in 2003, and they were amongst the absolute nicest guys I’ve ever came across on this earth 😍😍
@DerSemikolon
Great video, great song, great band. Greetings from Germany!
@manuelzechner6376
went to the 20 year anniversary tour, but just bought tickets for the first 2 of 3 shows. after the first show we met josh at the venue and told him how sad we are, because we didn't get tickets for the 3rd day and the acoustic session. he said "well i write you on the list, i'm in the band, i can do this i guess". we thought he was joking or just messing with us but we wrote an email to the adress he gave us. he wrote back that it's ok and we should come, but we still wouldn't believe it. so we went there like "hit or miss" and in fact - josh kept his word, we got in and enjoyed the acoustic session and the last concert of the tour and even had the chance to thank josh afterwards. that's why i love this band and forever will. they are honest and funny guys who really care about their fans. these 3 concerts, i will tell my children about em - It's been a blast! All the best to you guys, thank you and see you soon

Damn, definitely as you said. It's reminiscent, like a long awaited reunion with someone long thought lost.
