Closer To Death
Unsun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I would like to know what it will be like
Tomorrow, in ten years and longer.
Together or alone, you and me.
We will grow old someday.
Will we be close to each other,
When I'll breathe with my last breath?
My body will become ugly.
We are closer to the point of death.

You can't stop the time.
You must know that you and I,
We will grow old someday.
Don't ask me never again:
What for, and where do we aim?
You can't stop the time.
You must know that you and I,
We will grow old someday.
Don't ask me never again:
What for, and where do we aim?

I would like to know if your eyes
will be looking for me.
Together or alone in our life,
Our future is a great mystery.
I'm scared. I'm frightened.
I don't want to be alone.
I trust our love's might,
Like nothing I've ever known.

You can't stop the time.
You must know that you and I,
We will grow old someday.
Don't ask me never again:
What for, and where do we aim?
You can't stop the time.
You must know that you and I,
We will grow old someday.
Don't ask me never again:
What for, and where do we aim?

Together or alone? We are closer to the point of death.
Together or alone? We are closer to the point of death.
Together or alone? We are closer to the point of death.
Together or alone? We are closer to the point of death.

You can't stop the time.
You must know that you and I,
We will grow old someday.
Don't ask me never again:
What for, and where do we aim?
You can't stop the time.
You must know that you and I,
We will grow old someday.




Don't ask me never again:
What for, and where do we aim?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Unsun's song "Closer To Death" seem to be about the fear of growing old and dying, and the uncertainty of what the future holds. The singer is contemplating what life will be like in the future, wondering if they will be together or alone, and if they will still be close to each other when they take their last breath. The idea of becoming old and ugly is also present, adding to the fear of aging. The refrain, "You can't stop the time", emphasizes the inevitability of aging and ultimately dying, and the urgency of living in the present moment. The singer seems to be scared of being alone, but also trusts in the power of their love to overcome this fear.


The song presents a feeling of uncertainty and ambiguity about the future. The questions asked by the singer, "What for, and where do we aim?", seem to be rhetorical, expressing the futility of trying to find answers to life's big questions. The repetition of the refrain throughout the song drives home this idea that time moves forward no matter what we do, and we must come to terms with the reality that we will grow old and eventually die.


Overall, "Closer To Death" is a reflection on the inevitability of aging and facing our own mortality. It presents a message of living in the present and cherishing the moments we have, rather than dwelling on the unknown future.
