Close the door
Kantatie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crash the door and walk in
Tell me how I'm wrong and you're right
Make a big deal out of blue 'bout something
That seemed to be alright
With the perfect lack of foresight
In a vicious cycle round and out we spin. Oh yeah, and I say
Why won't you take me away
When we cross that line
Why won't you hear the things I'm dreaming of
Just the shallow water. Mess we create
Pick an excuse well enough. Put a grin upon your face
Tell me how I'm wrong and you're right
Tell me how I'm wrong in your eyes. No
No, that's not right
Blinded by the excuse. Suffused by the shame we filled our
Bath where I found us sinking
Since the day I met you. And I say
Please close the door as you go
When we cross that line
Why won't you hear the things I'm dreaming of
Just the shallow water. Mess we create
The lyrics of Kantatie's song "Close the Door" reflect a tumultuous relationship filled with misunderstandings, accusations, and emotional turmoil. The opening lines suggest a confrontational situation where empty reasons are given to justify questionable actions, symbolized by crashing through a door instead of approaching with care. The singer is being challenged and criticized, despite feeling that things were fine before the conflict arose.
The lyrics illustrate a power struggle within the relationship, with one party asserting superiority over the other by highlighting their perceived wrongdoings. The lack of foresight and understanding from the other party further exacerbates the sense of being manipulated and invalidated. The cycle of blame and conflict is described as a spinning motion, indicating a repetitive and draining pattern in the relationship.
The plea to be taken away from the toxic dynamic hints at a desire for escape and relief from the turmoil. However, the lack of communication and willingness to listen to each other's dreams and desires prevents meaningful connection and resolution. The reference to shallow water symbolizes the superficial nature of their interactions and the mess they continuously create through their misunderstandings and stubbornness.
The imagery of sinking in a bath filled with shame and excuses encapsulates the suffocating nature of the relationship. The singer acknowledges the negative impact the other person has had on them since the beginning, underlining a sense of regret and longing for closure. The repeated request to "close the door as you go" signifies a plea for the other person to leave and end the destructive cycle, offering a glimmer of hope for moving on from the turmoil they have endured together.
