Close to Me
Laica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I'm a fool
I don't deserve this
The things that you do
Maybe you're the fool
You don't' deserve me
Even through my worst
You should be here
But your presence remains distant
You're so close to me
Yet you don't even know me
Back and forth
You play pretend
These games you play they never end
I'm trying my best to hold up my defense
What can I do to understand
Wondering where your love has went
Or
Too difficult
Saying what's on my mind
But easy for me to trust in words
Most of the time
And I
Just wanna be loved, wanna be loved, wanna be loved by you
You're so close to me
Yet you don't even know me
Back and forth
You play pretend
These games you play they never end
I'm trying my best to hold up my defense
What can I do to understand
Wondering where your love has went
Or
Sometimes I wish that we were just a little bit closer
Someday I hope you'll let me lay my head on your shoulder
They say you'll know a little better when you grow older
But all we got's a love that only seems to get colder
In these lyrics, Laica expresses feelings of frustration, confusion, and longing in a relationship. The singer starts by admitting that they are not proud of their actions, suggesting that they may have made mistakes or done things they regret. They question their worthiness, feeling like a fool and believing they don't deserve the treatment they are receiving.
The lyrics then shift to addressing the actions of the other person involved in the relationship. The singer suggests that the other person may also be foolish and doesn't deserve their presence. There is a sense of distance and disconnection, as the other person remains physically close but emotionally distant.
The chorus emphasizes this theme of proximity and lack of true connection. The singer feels frustrated that the other person is physically close to them yet doesn't truly know them. The relationship is characterized by a repetitive cycle of pretending and playing games that never seem to end.
The second verse delves deeper into the complexity of communication in the relationship. The singer finds it difficult to express their true feelings and thoughts, but they are easily swayed by words and trust others too easily. There is a sense of confusion and struggle in trying to understand where the other person's love has gone.
The bridge captures a desire for closeness and intimacy. The singer wishes that they were closer to the other person, hoping for a moment of vulnerability and comfort where they could lay their head on their shoulder. However, they also express doubt that things will change, reflecting on the idea that love between them seems to be growing colder instead of warmer.
Overall, the song portrays a relationship where both parties feel disconnected and are unable to truly understand each other. There is a longing for deeper connection and a sense of frustration in the repetitive patterns of the relationship.

But all we got's a love that only seems to get colder
However, our love only appears to become more distant and cold

My mom and I are having such a hard time right now, so i can pretty much relate to laica when she wrote this. You see, the moment we grow up, our parents looks less perfect and more human, and it's still shocking no matter how many times they showed you who they are as a person. They disappoint and fail you, and it will hurt the most bc you didnt expect you'll recieve pain from the person who taught life to you. But one truth remain, again they are also human. Imperfect, and growing in continues process of life. Continue loving, take a break if it gets tiring, then keep striving. We'll all get there. God will surely see our hearts.
yup
I am glad spotify recommend me this song, I really like it
