| The Cure – Close to Me Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I came here just to post this. People have some very creative, odd interpretations of this song--which are fine, but not what the song is intended to be about. To add to this, here's what Robert had to say about the phrase "the head on the door" before the album was released: "It was when I was little. Before I was going to get ill, I always used to see this horrible grinning man who'd appear on top of the bedroom door and laugh. It was like at both ends of a telescope at the same time- really near but when I tried to push it off, it'd be really far away. The last time I had it was when I was 15 and ill with glandular fever. Until, that is, for some reason, a couple of months ago I had a dream about it again and woke up sweating. I thought I was going to be ill but I wasn't." |
