Télépopmusik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't make your heart shine like it did before
You don't listen to my stories anymore
You can't comfort me the way you did before
Was I too loud, was I too bad
Was I too open
Was I too high, was I too fast
I don't feel your lips like the first kiss
I'd rather run away than sit to face the truth
Was I too proud, was I too hopeful
Was I too needing
Was I too crazy, was I too long
Was I too giving
No matter how far, no matter how long
I will be there
The lyrics to the song "Close" by Télépopmusik talk about a relationship that has lost its spark. The singer admits that they no longer bring joy to their partner's life, and that their love no longer shines bright. The partner has stopped listening to their stories and cannot comfort them in the same way they used to. The singer then wonders if they were too much for their partner - too loud, too bad, too open, too high, too fast, too close. They then talk about how they can't feel their partner's lips like their first kiss, and rather than face the truth of their failing relationship, they would prefer to run away. The singer wonders if they were too proud, too hopeful, too needing, too crazy, too long or too giving. Despite all of this, they promise to always be there for their partner, no matter how far or how long.
The lyrics in this song describe a relationship that is falling apart, but the singer still wants to hold on to it. They have recognized that things aren't the same as before, but they still yearn for their partner's love and affection. The questions they ask in the song could suggest that they feel responsible for the relationship's deterioration, despite not knowing where they went wrong. Despite all of this, the singer promises perseverance.

My late husband used to like this and was always trying to get me to listen to it . He has been gone a week today and I was looking for something else and this just popped up again . No , I am not smiling and I doubt my heart will shine again .
