Close to Me
M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

J'ai tellement attendu
Ça m'a rendu malade
Alors aujourd'hui
Dans mon lit
Ce jour sans fin suffit
J'n'ai jamais vu un soir qui soit aussi
Close to me
Te voir dans le noir
J'aimerais seulement qu'ça marche
Sentir la peur
Avant qu'tu viennes

Danser avec ton ombre (tout près)
M'ouvre les yeux et je retiens mon souffle
Ouais j'en tremble

Si j'avais ta confiance
Alors ce serait sans danger
Si seulement j'étais sûr
Ma tête sur ce mur, un rêve

J'ai tellement attendu
Ça m'a rendu marteau
Alors aujourd'hui
Dans mon lit
Ce jour sans fin suffit
J'n'ai jamais vu un soir qui soit aussi
Close to me

Je verrais ton visage
Alors ce serait sans danger




Si seulement j'étais sûr
Ma tête sur ce mur un rêve

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of M.'s song Close To Me are an expression of longing, desire and fear. The singer has been waiting for a long time to be close to the person they are singing to, to see them in the dark and feel their fear before they come. The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer expresses how their longing has made them sick. The second verse delves deeper into the fear and longing, as the singer imagines dancing with the person's shadow, trembling with desire.


The chorus brings the song together, as the singer expresses how this day is close to them, how they have never seen a night that is as close to them as this. The bridge takes the song a step further, as the singer explains that if they had the person's trust, then it would be safe, and their head on the wall would be a dream. The final verse brings the song full circle, expressing how the singer wishes they could be close to the person, and how seeing their face would be safe.


Overall, the song expresses the complicated emotions that can come with longing for someone, and how that desire can manifest in fear and uncertainty.
