So Close
Tom Misch & Carmody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So close that you can feel beats... as they move apart
I'll let you real near to my mind
So close that all our empty thoughts
Are intertwined
Sitting by the edge of the world I know it's true
That we wrote a language just for me and you
The flashes of colour that lit right through the grey
Stay here and we'll align
Your shadow passes into mine
Stay here and we'll align
Your shadow passes into mine
I'll let you real near to my heat
So close that all the broken things
Feel so concrete
I'll let you real near to my soul
So close that you have a love
You can't control
Sitting by the edge of the world I know it's true
That we wrote a language just for me and you
Stayed in that place and spent all of our day
The flashes of colour that lit right through the grey
Stay here and we'll align
Your shadow passes into mine
Stay here and we'll align
Your shadow passes into mine
Stay here and we'll align
Your shadow passes into mine
Stay here and we'll align
Your shadow passes into mine
The lyrics to Tom Misch & Carmody (Wild Culture Remix)'s song "So Close" describe an intense emotional connection between the singer and a lover, where they allow each other to get as close as possible, both physically and emotionally. The singer suggests that they will let their lover close to their heart so close that they can feel their heartbeats as they move apart, emphasizing the intense intimacy and vulnerability that they are willing to share. The lyrics also suggest that they will let their lover close to their mind so close that all their thoughts become intertwined, further conveying this intimate connection.
The chorus of the song suggests that the two lovers have their own language, implying that they have a deep understanding of one another that goes beyond words. Additionally, the lyrics describe the lovers sitting by the edge of the world, staying in a particular place and spending all their time together, enjoying flashes of color that light up their existence, even amidst the dullness and challenges of life. The repeated line, "stay here and we'll align, your shadow passes into mine" further exemplifies their emotional connection and how they align perfectly, both physically and mentally.
