Close the Door
Current Joys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I still remember yours
It reminds me of the pain
That's so hard to ignore
Now you're standing in my doorway
With your eyes to the floor
If you've got nothing more to say baby
Close the door
Close the door
Close the door
Close the door
Close the door
Close the door
Close the door
Close the door
Ooh
I have seen a million faces
But it's yours that I adore
It reminds me of the lifetimes
That we have had to before
Now you're standing in my doorway
With a face that asks for more
If you've got nothing more to say baby
Close the door
Close the door
Close the door
Close the door
Close the door
Close the door
Close the door
Close the door
Ooh
The lyrics of the song Close the Door by Current Joys illustrate the struggle of moving on from a painful past despite being reminded constantly of the person responsible for the pain. The artist portrays his conflicting emotions through the repetition of the line "I have seen a million faces but it's yours that I adore." This line conveys that although the artist has come across numerous people in his life, he still has this strong attachment to this one person from his past who continues to bring up painful memories.
The artist then moves on to describe how the person in question has reentered his life, "Now you're standing in my doorway with your eyes to the floor." The line "if you've got nothing more to say baby, close the door" exemplifies his desire to close the chapter of his life that involves this person. The artist is asking this person to leave so that he can finally move on and let go of the pain associated with the memories of their past.
In summary, the song is about the struggle of letting go and moving on from a painful past, and the artist's conflicting emotions towards the person responsible for that pain.

I have seen a million faces
I have encountered numerous people in my life
But I still remember yours
But your face is etched in my memory
It reminds me of the pain
Your face reminds me of the hurt I felt
That's so hard to ignore
That pain is difficult to disregard
Now you're standing in my doorway
You are now physically present in my space
With your eyes to the floor
You are avoiding eye contact with me
If you've got nothing more to say baby
If you have no additional words to share with me
Close the door
Please shut the door on your way out

Happily and sadly jamming to this as I sit in the bleachers of my school at night overlooking the football field. Cheers to all the seniors right now, we got robbed of our time.
