So Close
Devine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You should know that I'll be there
Should you laugh or should you cry
Should I burn or should I die
When I look into your eyes
Your lips so close to mine
Our bodies' boundaries redefine
It's so divine
I think I'd rather die
Than ever have to be deprived
Of having you inside my patched up life
My
interpretation of Devine's "So Close":
The opening line, "But, baby, I just don't care," sets a tone of indifference that is quickly contradicted by the following lines. The singer reassures their love interest that they will be there no matter what, whether they're laughing or crying, burning or dying. This juxtaposition between apathy and devotion suggests that the singer may be struggling with their feelings and trying to convince themselves that they don't care, but ultimately failing.
The second verse describes a moment of intimacy, where the singer looks into their love interest's eyes and feels a spiritual connection. The imagery of their bodies' boundaries redefining and their souls aligning suggests a sense of unity and completeness. The singer seems to be so overwhelmed by the experience that they would rather die than lose it. This could be seen as a reflection of the intensity of their emotions, or perhaps a fear of what would happen if they were separated from their love interest.
Overall, "So Close" explores the tension between emotional vulnerability and self-preservation. The singer wants to maintain a sense of detachment to protect themselves from potential pain, but they can't help but be drawn towards the person they love. The song suggests that true fulfillment comes from allowing oneself to be open and vulnerable to love, even if it means risking getting hurt.
