Kopecky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take my breath and breathe it
You mouth that you need it
And I know that you mean it
Shoulders facing shoulders
Keep me till I'm sober
Staring at the ceiling
I swear I felt it in the kindness of your arms
and I think you told me through the cold you'd keep me warm
I swear I felt it in the kindness of your arms
And right there you told me through the cold you'd keep me warm
In one room with two closed doors
Wish these arms could be yours
Kiss me with the lights off
Tell me where we went wrong
I swear I felt it in the kindness of your arms
And right there you told me through the cold you'd keep me warm
I swear I felt it in the kindness of your arms
And right there you told me through the cold you'd keep me warm
You knew it all along, and now that I'm gone you really want me badly
At the tip of my tongue when we were so young and not scared of nothing
You knew it all along, and now that I'm gone you really want me badly
At the tip of my tongue when we were so young and not scared of nothing
You knew it all along, and now that I'm gone you really want me badly
At the tip of my tongue when we were so young and not scared of nothing
You knew it all along, and now that I'm gone you really want me badly
At the tip of my tongue when we were so young and not scared of nothing
The lyrics of Kopecky's song "Closed Doors" revolve around the theme of a relationship that has ended, but the individuals involved are still feeling the pull of their past. The opening lines "Love me like a secret, Take my breath and breathe it" suggests that the persona of the song is looking for secrecy and intimacy in the relationship they once had. The next line "You mouth that you need it, And I know that you mean it" reveals that the other person in the relationship expressed their feelings and wants openly. The second verse "Shoulders facing shoulders, Keep me till I'm sober, Staring at the ceiling, Looking for a meaning" reflects the feelings of the persona who feels lost and without direction following the end of the relationship.
The chorus "I swear I felt it in the kindness of your arms, and right there you told me through the cold you'd keep me warm" highlights the connection the persona had with their partner, despite the fact that they have parted ways. The final verse "You knew it all along, and now that I'm gone you really want me badly, At the tip of my tongue when we were so young and not scared of nothing" reveals that the persona believes their partner has always wanted them, but only realized this after they had left the relationship. They lament the fact that they were not able to stay together when they were younger and fearless.
