Closure
Sparechange 00 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've spent the last four years of our lives trying to recreate a feeling that we thought was love but we learned the hard way. Not saying we weren't in love, four years is a long time to be with someone you didn't love, you ripped this heart from me.

But the cold front of denial blatantly stood there is a our face. A face we could not face for what would be come years to come. Our lives shot off in different directions, and you smothered me. Now looking back on our lives it seems like a mistake.

And I never gave you a reason (x4)......Now I guess it's my turn to say goodbye..

And I never gave you a reason (x8)
To rip this heart from me, now I'm sad to say I regret my time with you....





Overall Meaning

In Sparechange 00's song Closure, the lyrics revolve around the end of a four-year relationship that failed to recreate a feeling of love that was previously experienced by the couple. The song begins with the admission that despite trying to find love and happiness, they have come to realize that what they thought was love was not enough to sustain the relationship. Despite the duration of the relationship, the couple learned the hard way that they were not meant to be together, and one person ended up breaking the heart of the other.


The lyrics then shift to denial, which is presented as a cold front that was standing in the face of the couple. Despite the fact that they could not face it at the time, their lives eventually shot off in different directions. The relationship devolved into smothering behavior that was regrettable, and now looking back on their lives, they realized that they made a big mistake. The song ends with the realization that the person who originally broke the other person's heart is acknowledging that they never gave any reason for their behavior but are now ready to say goodbye.
