The Parcels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know that place seems kind of close
But I can't sleep
I can't seem to find
Waking peace of mind
The fight of the evening
I might never sleep at all
Even though I can't seem to find
Waking peace of mind
Some might say my life's a walk in the light
And though I'd say the same, I don't
'Cause all that space inside the walls, it's alive
And all night, shaking my resolve
So I can't sleep
I can't seem to find
Waking peace of mind
The fight of the evening
Holds me close to why
I might never sleep at all
Even though I can't seem to find
Waking peace of mind
The Parcels' "CloseToWhy" is a song about the inner turmoil that comes with waiting for something to happen, questioning one's own existence, and struggling to find inner peace. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been waiting for a call, which has finally arrived, bringing them closer to a certain destination, but they still can't seem to find comfort or solace as their thoughts keep them up at night. Even though they acknowledge their privileged position in life, they are haunted by the idea that something is missing inside and that there is more to life than just the surface level.
The line "The fight of the evening holds me close to why" suggests that there is a battle going on within the singer. They are fighting to discover their true identity and purpose in life, and this struggle is what holds them close to their innermost fears and desires. The mention of "all that space inside the walls, it's alive" symbolizes that the singer's thoughts and emotions are consuming them and taking up space within them, almost like a presence that is difficult to escape from.
The chorus repeats that the singer can't sleep and can't seem to find waking peace of mind. They may be so caught up in their own search for meaning that they are unable to fully relax and find contentment. The song hints that this is a long-term issue for the singer, and they may never find the peace they are searching for.

All that waiting for a call, it arrived
After a long period of waiting, finally receiving a phone call that was anticipated
And I know that place seems kind of close
The location being referred to appears to be within reach or nearby
But I can't sleep
Unable to fall asleep
I can't seem to find
Struggling to locate
Waking peace of mind
A sense of calm and comfort upon waking up in the morning
The fight of the evening
The struggle or conflict during the night
Holds me close to why
Keeps me close to the reason or purpose behind the struggle
I might never sleep at all
Possible inability to sleep completely due to the conflict
Even though I can't seem to find
Despite not being able to locate
Waking peace of mind
The desired feeling of calm and comfort upon waking up in the morning
Some might say my life's a walk in the light
Some people may perceive my life as easy and carefree
And though I'd say the same, I don't
Despite wanting to agree with that perception, I cannot
'Cause all that space inside the walls, it's alive
The emptiness within the walls of my surroundings is filled with energy and activity
And all night, shaking my resolve
Throughout the night, causing me to question and weaken my determination

So I can't sleep
I can't seem to find waking peace of mind

Waking peace of mind
The fight of the evening
Holds me close to why
I might never sleep at all
Even though I can't seem to find
Waking peace of mind
