Close To You
DJ Tiesto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Repeating to myself again
Find comfort in an endless stream of moments
I don't even care, about the way I feel today
Because it changes anyway
Something will make me cry or smile
Another picture on my pile
It's just something that I do
When I need love to be enough
I wish love could be enough
‘cause there is nothing more appealing
Than the thought that I could be enough
Do you find solace in the sun?
Do you consider life as one?
Do you believe there is a limit
To how fast a man can run?
Someone said you're born alive
Well I don't feel that alive
No I don't feel that alive
I don't feel that alive
Now I'm standing close to you
It's just something that I do
When I need love to be enough
I wish love could be enough
‘cause there is nothing more appealing
Than the thought that I could be enough...enough
The song "Close To You" by DJ Tiesto describes the feeling of disillusionment and disconnect that the singer is experiencing. They start by saying they don't consider their time spent repeating things to themselves as "time well spent". They try to find comfort in an "endless stream of moments" but concede that something in their pile of pictures will make them laugh or cry.
The chorus begins with the singer admitting to standing close to someone when they need love to be enough. They express a wish for love to be enough and the realization that there is nothing more appealing than the thought of being enough for someone. Then, in the next verse, the singer seems to be contemplating the idea of life and the limits of the human condition and feels disconnected from it all. They assert that they don't feel "alive" despite their existence.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing for connection and a desire for love to be enough to fill the emptiness that the singer feels. It touches on themes of disillusionment, disconnection, and the search for meaning and purpose in life.

There are many layers to this song. The different instruments used to sync in harmony. This is a symphony. My mind is blown. It’s perfect!
