Closure in Moscow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lay with you so they won't sink in their claws.
I lay awake while the beasts and the whores are
Dancing in the jaws of a landfill.
Am I ever gonna let you in before I see it coming?
Systematic in decay.
You've already been such a sweetheart.
And I know we all get scared.
We all get scared.
Too much head, but too little heart, oh honey:
I want your touch, such a shame that I am numb honey.
Too much head, but too little heart, oh honey:
Not meant to be this way
Lover, lover, lover you'll never know-
You'll never know, because-
Lover, lover breathing down my neck;
Incendiary breath, and still my lover is a burden.
Tell me something could you smell my fear
As I lay there cringing on your bed?
I'm dying to feel what you feel now.
You've already been such a sweetheart.
And I know we all get scared.
We all get scared.
Too much head, but too little heart oh honey:
I want your touch, such a shame that I am numb honey.
Too much head, but too little heart oh honey:
Not meant to be this way.
Maybe my seed found purchase in your soil.
It's just a fight, a futile fight to feel connected.
I lay awake stuck by this fickle thorn.
Instead of tending to it's prick, I lay, infected.
The lyrics to Closure in Moscow's song Sweet#hart appear to be an introspective analysis of the singer's difficulties in opening up to a lover. In the opening lines, the singer describes being stuck by a "fickle thorn" and lying with their lover "so they won't sink in their claws." This implies a sense of caution or distrust, perhaps due to past experiences. The next verse suggests that the singer is hesitant to let their guard down and allow themselves to be vulnerable, asking if they will ever let their lover in before they see it coming.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire to feel what their lover is feeling, to bridge the emotional gap between them. However, they recognize that they are too much in their head and too little in their heart, preventing them from fully connecting with their partner. The second verse introduces the idea of a burden, with the singer feeling like their lover is breathing down their neck with "incendiary breath." They question if their fear is apparent to their partner in these moments.
The final lines of the song introduce a new metaphor: "Maybe my seed found purchase in your soil." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer feeling like they have put effort into the relationship and it has taken root, but it still feels like a "futile fight" to feel connected. They end the song infected by their own "fickle thorn," suggesting that this internal struggle is preventing them from fully embracing the love they could have with their partner.
