The Darcys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything so quickly
I lose control
Start to close my eyes
And I can't get back
My body calm
As the cold washed over me
When you whispered how
The world had got to us
So I started a war
That you couldn't shut out
I started a war
Stop talking
You're not listening
Keep breathing
You're fading
My fears unfold
Your body close to mine
And I can't get back
My body calm
As the cold washed over me
I was in a trance
When you whispered how
The world had got to us
So I started a war
That you couldn't shut out
The lyrics to The Darcys's song Close To Me are telling a story of a relationship that is struggling to keep afloat. The singer is feeling overwhelmed with emotions and loses control, drifting away into a trance-like state. The world around them is moving too quickly, and everything is slipping away. The singer feels like they are drowning and cannot get back from the darkness that consumed them. The partner tries to help them by whispering words of comfort, but it's too late as the singer starts a war within themselves that even their partner cannot shut out.
The lyrics are a metaphor for how fear and anxiety can sabotage someone's relationship. The singer is overwhelmed with their own thoughts and emotions that they cannot hear their partner's voice. They're fading away and losing sight of the love that they share with their partner. The singer's fear is unfolding, and they cannot control the emotional storm that's brewing inside them. The cold washed over them, a metaphor for the emotional detachment they might be experiencing.
The song touches upon the theme of mental health and how it can affect relationships. It's a reminder that sometimes in a relationship, it's important to take care of oneself before looking after others. The singer's partner tries to help, but ultimately it's up to the singer to fight their demons.

I'm slipping
I feel like I'm losing control
Everything so quickly
Everything seems to be happening too fast
I lose control
I feel like I'm losing control
Start to close my eyes
I'm starting to drift off
And I can't get back
I feel like I can't come back from this state of mind
My body calm
My body is relaxed despite my racing thoughts
As the cold washed over me
I feel like I'm becoming numb and distant
I was in a trance
I was completely absorbed in my thoughts
When you whispered how
When you reminded me
The world had got to us
The problems of the world were affecting us
So I started a war
I acted out in a way that caused problems
That you couldn't shut out
That you couldn't ignore or make go away
Stop talking
I don't want to hear anything else
You're not listening
I feel like you're not understanding me
Keep breathing
Focus on taking deep breaths
You're fading
I feel like you're slipping away
My fears unfold
My fears are becoming more apparent
Your body close to mine
I feel comforted by your presence
And I can't get back
I'm struggling to return to reality
My body calm
Despite my thoughts, I still feel calm physically
As the cold washed over me
I feel isolated and cold emotionally
