Absolute Space (Jazzano
Koop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I close my eyes
To get a better view
No need for words now
No need for words
While I never come closer
Whispering
I try to get close
There's a place
Behind this view
While I never come closer
No I never come closer
To where I wanna be
There's no space
Left for me
But I never come closer
But I never come closer
But I never come closer
But I never come closer
But I never come closer
But I never come closer
The lyrics of "Absolute Space" by Koop depict a sense of longing and disappointment. The persona in the song closes their eyes to get a better view, indicating a desire for clarity, yet they are not able to achieve it. There is no need for words, suggesting that the persona is at a loss for words to describe their current emotional state. The repetition of the line "While I never come closer" emphasizes the feeling of being stuck and unable to reach their desired destination.
The chorus builds on this sense of longing, with the persona trying to get closer but never succeeding. The line "There's no space left for me" adds to the feeling of disappointment, as if the persona has given up on the idea of reaching their goal. The repetition of "But I never come closer" underscores the idea that the persona has tried and failed multiple times.
Overall, the lyrics of "Absolute Space" by Koop can be interpreted as a meditation on the human condition, specifically our innate desire for something more, an unfulfilled yearning for completeness. It suggests that even when we close our eyes and try to gain a better perspective, we may never be able to fully grasp the thing we are seeking.
