Close To Me
Teams & Starslinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Picture yourself
In perfect darkness
In the distance
You can hear a rumble
You can feel the bass in your head
Moving through your veins
To your feet
You don't know what it is
But you accept it
You let it move you
You let us choose you
Now
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Picture yourself
In perfect darkness
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Close your eyes and dance with me
Now
Before you open your eyes
I want to think about what you just saw
What we just went through
Even though it was in your head
It was all as real as touch
This is our perfect darkness
Now
Open your eyes
Close your eyes and dance with me
The lyrics of "Close To Me" by Teams & Starslinger evoke a sense of immersion and surrendering oneself to the power of music and the experience it creates. The opening lines set the scene by urging the listener to close their eyes and imagine being in a state of perfect darkness. By shutting off external distractions, the mind is free to focus solely on the music.
The mention of a rumble and feeling the bass in the head suggests the physical and emotional impact music can have. It's a sensation that resonates deep within, almost like a heartbeat. The lyrics emphasize the connection between sound and body, as the bass moves through the veins and reaches the feet. This physical response becomes a catalyst for the listener to let go and allow the music to guide their movements.
The repetition of the phrase "Close your eyes and dance with me" throughout the song reinforces the idea of surrender and trust. It encourages the listener to let the music take them on a journey, to let go of inhibitions and simply dance. The lyrics convey a sense of unity, as the invitation to dance is extended to everyone, creating a shared experience.
The line "Before you open your eyes, I want to think about what you just saw" adds depth to the lyrics. It suggests that the experience created by the music is not only auditory but also visual. It leaves space for the listener's imagination to fill in the details of their own personal interpretation. The concept of a "perfect darkness" further emphasizes this imaginative world, where the boundaries of reality blend with the power of music.
The song concludes by urging the listener to open their eyes but to continue dancing. This signifies that the connection established through music can extend beyond the physical realm. It suggests that even though the experience predominantly happened in the mind, it was as real and tangible as any other sensory experience. By encouraging the listener to close their eyes again and dance, the lyrics invite them to continue exploring this magical realm where music has the power to transcend reality.

Far away, not easily reachable

What we just went through
The shared journey we undertook in your mind
Even though it was in your head
Despite being a product of your imagination
It was all as real as touch
The experiences were vivid and had a tangible quality
This is our perfect darkness
The state of complete immersion in imagination is our ideal
Now
Returning to the present
Open your eyes
Resume visual perception of the external world
Close your eyes and dance with me
Repeating the request to focus on imagination and dance together

From the EP of the same name, this took two of England's premier DJ's and put them together on an amazing collaboration for the label Mexican Summer, which now that I think about it, was financed by Esquire Magazine.
