Closer Lyrics

It started out as desire, turned into a lover's twist
Who knew a moth and a flame could ever spawn a love like this
And I need something to taste
Something just a little bit more sweet
But I am sour and more sour
Every time that our lips meet

[Bridge:]
If you're a butterfly I'm suicide by insecticide
If I am kerosene then your a spark
Just begging to ignite
You'll wish you never met me
(Butterfly) Butterfly, fly my way

[Chorus:]
Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed)
Feel the sting as you get closer (Closer and closer to me)
So let hold something so delicate (Shattered with a word)
So say something as we get closer and closer
Damn, this is gonna hurt

The ghost of a pathetic past is haunting me here more and more
The skeletons are laughing and
I mean through the closet door
And my past lovers share these covers
Sleeping with my enemies
Thoughts of others come between us
Trigger fits of jealousy

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

You can paint me pretty colors
And dress me how you like
I'm just a ugly moth in love
In a butterfly disguise

And I've been thinking about leaving since the day that we met
Since I don't get close when it's all over I'll just forget
'Cause I have seen the end so many times I've played it in my mind
And I am scared to death I never want to see your dark side

If you're a butterfly I'm suicide by insecticide
If I am kerosene then your a spark
Just begging to ignite
You're wishing you never met me
(Butterfly) Butterfly, fly my way

Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed)
Feel the sting as you get closer (Closer and closer to me)
So let hold something so delicate (Shattered with a word)
So say something as we get closer and closer
Damn, this is gonna hurt
Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed)
So say something as we get closer and closer
Damn, this is gonna hurt

Yes, first to comment. Well this lyrics are a bit wrong. But anyway this is a song about a relationship going down, I see at as two opposites who attracted eachother, but in the end it didnt happen.

Good music and melody. Lyrical content is a bit full on, but probably my favourite song by cauterize. They are currently unsigned and wrote, produced and recorded their newest album, Paper Wings, largely on their own. Top effort

turned into a lovers TRIST....not twist

Cover art for Closer lyrics by Cauterize

This is totally the best Cauterize song EVER!! I think it's about two people who are so completely opposite. They are attracted to each other, but it's kind of self-destructive; they keep unintentionally hurting each other because they can't communicate with each other and don't understand each other... Does that make sense? btw it's turned into a LOVERS' TRYST.

What started out as desire, turned into a lover's trist Who knew a moth and a flame could ever spawn a love like this Now you need something to taste Something just a little bit more sweet But I am sour and more sour Every time that our lips meet

[Bridge:] If you're a butterfly I'm suicide by insecticide If I am kerosene then you're a spark just begging to ignite You'll wish you never met me (Butterfly) Butterfly, fly by me

[Chorus:] Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed) Feel the sting as you get closer (Closer and closer to me) Don't let hold something so delicate (Shattered with a word) Don't say anything as we get closer and closer Damn, this is gonna hurt

The ghost of a pathetic past is haunting me here more and more The skeletons are laughing and I mean through the closet door And my past lovers share these covers Sleeping with my enemies Thoughts of others come between us Trigger fits of jealousy

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

You can paint me pretty colors And dress me how you like I'm just a ugly moth in love In a butterfly disguise

And I've been thinking about leaving since the day that we met Since I don't get close when it's all over I'll just forget 'Cause I have seen the end so many times I've played it in my mind And I am scared to death I never want to see your dark side

If you're a butterfly I'm suicide by insecticide If I am kerosene then you're a spark just begging to ignite You'll wish you never met me (Butterfly) Butterfly, fly by me

Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed) Feel the sting as you get closer (Closer and closer to me) Don't let hold something so delicate (Shattered with a word) Don't say anything as we get closer and closer Damn, this is gonna hurt Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed) Don't say anything as we get closer and closer Damn, this is gonna hurt

its not .. 'Since I don't get close when it's all over I'll just forget'

but realllly 'cause if i don't get close when its all over i'll just forget' which means they broke up and he wants to get back with her because he doesnt want to forget everything.

a feeling i know all too well..

Cover art for Closer lyrics by Cauterize

I think this is a song about love that never gets well but still never ends... so i guess i lived throu this so i understand it...

It started out as desire, turned into a lover's twist Who knew a moth and a flame could ever spawn a love like this And I need something to taste Something just a little bit more sweet But I am sour and more sour Every time that our lips meet

so it started so beutiful but get worse and worse

If you're a butterfly I'm suicide by insecticide If I am kerosene then your a spark Just begging to ignite You'll wish you never met me (Butterfly) Butterfly, fly my way

so these butterlies those ar when you are in love that feelings emotions when you kiss you feel...

Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed) Feel the sting as you get closer (Closer and closer to me) So let hold something so delicate (Shattered with a word) So say something as we get closer and closer Damn, this is gonna hurt

so he hopes it will get better and asking for her help cause if it wont it will hurt so bad...

The ghost of a pathetic past is haunting me here more and more The skeletons are laughing and I mean through the closet door And my past lovers share these covers Sleeping with my enemies Thoughts of others come between us Trigger fits of jealousy

so this part is about his feelings hes scared he doesnt know what happend why it got so bad...

You can paint me pretty colors And dress me how you like I'm just a ugly moth in love In a butterfly disguise

so here the idea is that you can change a look of a person but cannot chenge the soul...

And I've been thinking about leaving since the day that we met Since I don't get close when it's all over I'll just forget 'Cause I have seen the end so many times I've played it in my mind And I am scared to death I never want to see your dark side

heres the other part of his feelings to leave to forget and live along...

Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed) Feel the sting as you get closer (Closer and closer to me) So let hold something so delicate (Shattered with a word) So say something as we get closer and closer Damn, this is gonna hurt Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed) So say something as we get closer and closer Damn, this is gonna hurt

he didnt know it will got so bad it will hurt so much didnt know it will end up like this...

ok sorry i know its not very perfect cause i'm not english so my writing is awfull but i hope the idea was clear... if i could just say it in my languige it would be perfect... still this is the best song from Cauterize...
