Closer Than This
by St. Lucia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember all the sounds you used to make
But I keep my down despite the animals on your face
How many times have I said
I've got a feeling we will never get closer than this
I can't imagine there's a way to get closer than this
Even falling far behind
Starlight in the middle of the Ocean
Opens up my heart tonight
I've got a feeling we will never get closer than this
I can't imagine there's a way to get closer than this
I've got a feeling we will never get closer than this
I can't imagine there's a way to get closer than this
And I keep on pushin'
Keep on pushin'
Keep on pushin' on
Oh we keep on pushin'
Keep on pushin'
Keep on pushin' on
I've got a feeling we will never get closer than this
I can't imagine there's a way to get closer than this
I've got a feeling we will never get closer than this
I can't imagine there's a way to get closer than this
And we keep on pushin'
Keep on pushin'
Keep on pushin' on
And we keep on pushin'
Keep on pushin'
Keep on pushin' on
The song Closer Than This by St. Lucia is a dreamy, atmospheric track that speaks about a deeply felt emotion that is hard to put into words. The lyrics of the song are about the singer's desire to connect with someone, to become closer to them, but the feeling of distance always seems to be present, preventing them from truly reaching that goal. The opening lines, "Off the ground headin' for another take, I remember all the sounds you used to make, but I keep my down despite the animals on your face, how many times have I said," set the tone for the song and create a sense of yearning and nostalgia.
The chorus of the song, where the singer repeats "I've got a feeling we will never get closer than this, I can't imagine there's a way to get closer than this," is particularly emotive and highlights the melancholic nature of the song. The lyrics speak to the universal human experience of wanting to connect with others, but often feeling like there are barriers preventing us from doing so. Despite this feeling of distance, the singer keeps pushing forward, determined to keep trying to get closer to the person they desire.
Overall, Closer Than This is a poignant and introspective song that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the yearning to connect with others, even when it seems impossible to do so.

Off the ground headin' for another take
Taking off and starting again
I remember all the sounds you used to make
Recalling the past experiences and emotions
But I keep my down despite the animals on your face
Maintaining composure despite external distractions and pressures
How many times have I said
Reflecting on the repetition of certain thoughts or messages
I've got a feeling we will never get closer than this
Believing that the current level of intimacy is the closest it will ever be
I can't imagine there's a way to get closer than this
Expressing doubt that closer intimacy is possible or desirable
Catch up with the other kids
Striving to keep up with others and meet societal expectations
Even falling far behind
Despite not keeping up and feeling left behind
Starlight in the middle of the Ocean
Finding beauty and inspiration in nature
Opens up my heart tonight
Invoking strong emotions and feelings
And I keep on pushin'
Persisting and working hard towards a goal
Keep on pushin'
Continuing the effort despite challenges and setbacks
Oh we keep on pushin'
Encouraging others to also persevere
And we keep on pushin'
Continuing to work towards closeness despite obstacles

I first heard this in 2017. I liked it so much I sent my best friend an email with this link. Cleaning out emails, I just found it again. I was born in the 60s so I experienced 80s music. This reminds me of one of those great nostalgic 80's song reincarnated. I'm so glad I found this email and this link is still up. Now it's going to be saved a playlist.
