Close To Me
KITCHEN 1 - The Cure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me
Just try to see in the dark
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath and wait until I shake
But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream
I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me
But if I had your face
Then I could make it safe and clean
Oh, if only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream
In The Cure's song Close to Me, the lyrics express the feeling of anxiety and fear of being too close to someone, and the desire to make things safe and clean. The first verse expresses the desperation the singer feels as they wait for something they've been anticipating for hours, causing them to become ill. They wish they could have avoided this situation by just staying in bed. However, they find themselves closer to the person they desire or fear than they ever thought they would be.
In the second verse, the singer's fear intensifies as they try to navigate their relationship with this person. They try to see in the dark and make it work, but the fear is overwhelming. The fear makes them feel like the shapes around them are too close, and they want to push them away or escape. They metaphorically pull their eyes out, hold their breath, and shake until the feeling passes. However, if they had the faith of the person they are close to, they could feel safe and clean in this situation. They wish they could be certain that the reality they are experiencing is just a dream and not their actual life.

I've waited hours for this
I've been eagerly anticipating this moment for hours
I've made myself so sick
I've become physically ill from my anticipation
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I regret waking up to face this day
I never thought this day would end
I didn't believe this day would ever come to an end
I never thought tonight could ever be
I never expected tonight to turn out like this
This close to me
So close to me that it's almost overwhelming
Just try to see in the dark
Attempt to perceive when you're unable to see
Just try to make it work
Attempt to make the situation function
To feel the fear before you're here
Experience the apprehension before arriving
I make the shapes come much too close
I magnify my own fears and make them seem closer than they truly are
I pull my eyes out
I become so overwhelmed that I feel like gouging my eyes out
Hold my breath and wait until I shake
I try to calm myself down by holding my breath and waiting until the shaking stops
But if I had your faith
If only I possessed your level of assurance
Then I could make it safe and clean
I could make it a secure and uncomplicated situation
If only I was sure
I wish I had complete certainty
That my head on the door was a dream
That my current situation was just a nightmare
But if I had your face
If only I had your self-assuredness
Oh, if only I was sure
Oh, how I wish I had complete certainty
That my head on the door was a dream
That my current situation was just a nightmare

That's great news. What's particularly interesting is that many nutritionists would advise those with this condition to reduce animal product intake, because of the saturated fat content, and it's association with inflammation. However as you demonstrate , it seems to the contrary, inflammation has completely reduced by removing plant foods from the diet. I suspect that it is really excess omega 6 fats, and things like plant lectins, that are the real cause of so much of the inflammation we see in those with health issues related to inflammation. Also I'm sure that the carnivore diet has a highly beneficial effect on the gut microbiome, related to these conditions.
