Close
Sci-Clone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I'm cold and alone all I want
Is my freedom, a sudden gust of gravity
I stop wailing and kicking just to let
This water cover me, cover me
Only if I rest my arms, rest my mind
You'll overcome me and swell up around me
With my fighting so vain, with my vanity
So fought, I'm rolling over
'Cause in just the same way the stream becomes
Swollen up, swollen with cold up over the ground
When my heart draws close to the close of autumn
Your love, your love abounds
All this time I've been thinking, wondering
How would it be to breathe in deep
Guess I need to be careful when I ask
For a drink, just might get what I ask for
And I know just what you'd say to me
That's why I don't ask you, what would I ask you?
I'm like a bull-headed boy these days
Crying my toy is gone, you're shiny and new
'Cause in just the same way the stream becomes
Swollen up, swollen with cold up over the ground
When my heart draws close to the close of autumn
Your love, your love abounds
Guess I'll drop my anger here before
I float away and the chains around me
An awful lot of talking, I don't leave you
Much to say, you didn't ever leave me




And my greatest fear was you'd leave me here
A long time back my feet could touch the bottom

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sci-Clone's song Close depict a person's struggle with their emotions and the desire for freedom. The first stanza describes their feeling of isolation and a moment of surrender, where they allow themselves to be consumed by the water, seeking a release from their struggles. However, the person acknowledges that they cannot simply let go of their emotions and surrender to the current completely. They need to find a balance between fighting against their circumstances and accepting them.


The lyrics then shift to the person's contemplation on their relationship and the fear of asking for what they truly want. They acknowledge that sometimes their behavior is stubborn and childish—crying over lost toys when something new and shiny is right in front of them. Despite this, the person recognizes the love that surrounds them, especially as the autumn season draws near, and they drop their anger, surrendering to the love that empowers them.


The imagery of the swollen stream and autumn evoke feelings of change and transition. The person recognizes that their state of mind and emotions are like the water, constantly in motion and affected by external factors. However, with love and acceptance, they can find a sense of peace and stability amidst the turbulence.


Overall, the song's themes revolve around surrendering and finding balance amidst difficult emotional struggles. It suggests that sometimes, surrender is necessary to move through obstacles and find acceptance.
