Close to Me
Voyant Claire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unknown seems to rush through my veins
So far you've been this close to me
You can share my words
You can feel my breath
So far you've been this close to me

I feel this ever-lucid song I'll never learn
The quiet street, where you held me
I feel love I've never known

And when you speak, do you speak to me?
So far, you feel this close to real
If you share my world you can take my breath away
So far you've been this close to me

And it feels like water through my hand
You see, life is a million grains of sand
I feel this ever-lucid song I'll never know
The quiet street you hold me
I feel love I've never known

Unknown seems to rush through my veins
So far you feel this close to me
I can feel this time it's closer to the fire than I
So far you've been this close to me

And it feels like water through my hand
You seem close but times a million grains of sand
I feel this heady-lucid sigh I will never learn
These quiet streets, will you help me?
I feel love I've never known
I feel this senseless peace, yes, I will never learn
Close my eyes, sleep, dream, where I keep this locked
I'll never know Lose my mind





Unknown seems to rush through my veins
So far you been this close to me

Overall Meaning

"Close to Me" by Voyant Claire is a song about the feeling of being close or connected to someone, and the dynamic emotions that come with it. The opening lines, "Unknown seems to rush through my veins / So far you've been this close to me" suggest a mix of anticipation, excitement, and fear. The unknown feeling is overwhelming and powerful, but at the same time, the presence of the other person provides comfort and familiarity.


The lyrics further explore the theme of closeness through the use of sensory language. The lines "You can share my words / You can feel my breath" demonstrate the desire to be physically and emotionally close to someone, to share one's thoughts and feelings in an intimate way. Additionally, the repeated line "So far you've been this close to me" emphasizes the fragility of this connection, as it implies that the singer is aware of how tenuous this closeness can be.


The chorus, "And it feels like water through my hand / You see, life is a million grains of sand / I feel this ever-lucid song I'll never know / The quiet street you hold me / I feel love I've never known" evokes a dreamy atmosphere, with imagery of water, sand, and a lucid song the singer can't quite grasp. It speaks to a longing for something that is just out of reach, yet simultaneously present.


Overall, the song is a poetic expression of the bittersweet nature of human connection, capturing the emotions of love, fear, and longing that come with being close to someone.
