Closer
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where we combine
To be divine
Love in us
Give me the sign
View these confines
We start to shine
Closer and closer
And closer
To you now
Never enough
Closer and closer
You pull me
Give me more
Soft and slow
We are breathing the same
We are moving the same
And we were
And we are
We're free-designed
Become aligned
We are combined
Love in us
Closer and closer
And closer
To you now
Never enough
Closer and closer
You pull me
Give me more
Soft and slow
The lyrics of Kylie Minogue's song "Closer" describe a deep and passionate love between two individuals. The opening lines, "We'll redesign, where we combine, to be divine, love in us" suggest that the lovers are looking to create something new and beautiful in their relationship. The words "love in us" are repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the strength and depth of their love.
The second verse, "Give me the sign, view these confines, we start to shine, love in us", speaks to the idea of breaking down any barriers or limitations in their relationship. The lovers are asking for a sign or indication that they can move beyond any restrictions and begin to truly shine together. The repetition of the phrase "love in us" in this verse highlights the importance of their connection and their commitment to one another.
The chorus, "Closer and closer, and closer, to you now, never enough, closer and closer, you pull me, give me more, soft and slow" suggests that the two individuals cannot get enough of each other. The use of repetition builds tension and anticipation, and the combination of the words "closer" and "soft and slow" emphasize the physical and emotional intimacy between the two lovers. The words "never enough" suggest that their love is all-consuming and insatiable.
Overall, "Closer" is a romantic and passionate song about the intensity of love between two individuals who are deeply committed to one another.

Más cerca
Rediseñaremos
Donde combinamos
Para ser divinos,
Amor en nosotros.
Dame el signo
En estos confines,
Empezamos a brillar,
Amor en nosotros.
Más cerca y más cerca
Y más cerca
De ti, nunca suficiente.
Más cerca y más cerca
Me empujas,
Dame más
Suave y lento.
Respiramos igual,
Nos movemos igual
Y fuimos
Y somos.
Estamos rediseñados,
Nos alineamos,
Estamos combinados,
Amor en nosotros.

Kylie, I wish who ever handles your social media feeds actually lets you read every comment. I have requested from the inception of this song for it to be released with a single and the video clip is a queen on a chess board capturing the other king. YOU ARE THE QUEEN THAT CAPTURES. Could you imaging Kylie on a chess board battling all the pieces getting closer and closer to her king. AMAZING.

If only
immature photographer
