Close To Me (Ellie Goulding)

“Close To Me” by Ellie Goulding explores themes of emotional distance and the struggle to reconnect with a partner despite physical closeness.

Did you know?

The song’s lyrics depict a relationship where the individuals are physically close but emotionally distant.

Lines like “Even though we’re kicking the truth, we can’t see” and “We’re still the kids we used to be, yeah, I’m inside you, you’re inside me” suggest a deep connection that has faded over time.

The repetition of “I can’t live without you” emphasizes the desperation to regain the lost emotional bond.

The upbeat tempo and synth-pop elements contrast with the melancholic lyrics, highlighting the dissonance between the couple’s current state and their past closeness.

This juxtaposition underscores the theme of longing for a return to a more intimate and understanding relationship.
