Near To You
Jad Fair & Teenage Fanclub Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel the world beneath my feet
Strive to see more of the sun
Try to change what I've become
Move on up through this down
Take this luck and turn it around
I get near you but I never seem to reach you
Somewhere tonight the stars still shine
Fueled by the promise of the sun
Pulled by the charm this night has spun
Move on up through this down
Take this luck and turn it around
I get near you but I never seem to reach you
The lyrics in Jad Fair & Teenage Fanclub's song "Near to You" speak of a feeling of being stuck or stagnant in life, and the desire to make a change. The first verse expresses a need to get up and move, to break free from the current situation and strive for something better. The second verse speaks of the allure of the night and the promise of new opportunities - the idea that the stars still shine even when everything else seems bleak. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is close to someone or something they desire, but never seem to be able to fully grasp it.
Overall, the song seems to be about the struggle to break free from a rut and make a positive change in one's life. It speaks of the difficulties of this process, but also of the potential that lies just beyond reach. The lyrics are somewhat abstract, but convey a sense of hope and determination in the face of uncertainty.

Weirdly enough my current girlfriend fell in love with me, when I sang this very false and on the top of my lungs while dancing like a complete idiot.
I guess it sometimes helps to make a complete ass out off yourself for someone else.
