Closer
Zornik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come a little closer, why don't you leave the light on?
And it's a nice day to leave you again..
And it's time to break out and be on
It would be nice of you to go

Walk away
Come again
Walk away
Come again
Come again, la-la-la-la, I have to go
Come again, la-la-la-la, I have to go

Come a little closer, why don't you leave the light on?
And it's a nice day to leave you again..
And it's time to break out and be on
It would nice of you to go

And I wanted everybody to be closer,
but the words came out all wrong and I'm just lonely..

Walk away
Come again
Walk away
Come again
Come again, la-la-la-la, I have to go
Come again, la-la-la-la, I have to go

And it's so damn hard




and it's a waste of my time
It's so damn hard and it's a waste of my time..

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Zornik's "Closer" express a longing and a disconnect at the same time. The singer is asking the person they are addressing to come closer and leave the light on, which seems inviting, but then they also say it's time to break out and be on, implying distance and departure. This push-and-pull continues throughout the song, with the repeated lines of "walk away" and "come again" creating a sense of uncertainty and confusion.


The chorus of "come again, la-la-la-la, I have to go" suggests a cycle of coming together only to separate again, unable to fully connect or commit. The ultimate confession of "and I wanted everybody to be closer, but the words came out all wrong and I'm just lonely" adds a layer of vulnerability and sadness to the longing expressed earlier. The repetition of "it's so damn hard and it's a waste of my time" reinforces this feeling of being stuck and unable to fully express oneself.


Overall, the lyrics of "Closer" convey a complicated mix of desire, hesitation, frustration, and resignation. The ambiguity of the language and the conflicting messages create a sense of tension and uncertainty that mirrors the emotions being depicted.
