Close Up Lyrics

Is this a feeling of something
About to happen?
Like snapping out of something I
Didn't realize I was in
Was I sleeping?
What?
How can you be so sure
If you've never been here before?
I don't understand
It can't be that easy

I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
(I can't keep my hands off you...)
I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you

Get back, get away from there
It's all wrong
Keep calm for a moment
Look in my eyes
Get back, get away, 'cause
This could get ugly
If you think that I'll let you go
You're out of your mind

Oh my God
I'm not supposed to say this
And I know that you're trouble, but
Is that your real name, and
Why are you doing this?
And how did I get here?
Ok, no more questions, no worries
It's "destination unknown," so dive in
The water's great
Oh, listen
I'm starting to speak like you...

I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
(You can do no wrong...)
I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you

its about a conflicted relationship. she's trying to convince herself to stay away from this person that she hates with all her heart, but she can't stay away. i love it. i love how she sets herself up for confusion.

There should DEFINITELY be way more comments on this song. It's so edgy, electroclash awesomeness!

I get the impression that this is about being tossed into an uncomfortable situation with someone you either don't know or don't necessarily like, but have to rely on, alternating between loving them for keeping you alive and hating them. The "What? How can you be so sure?" line make me think that she wakes up somewhere with a person and they know what's happening, but she doesn't. The last lines make me think that there's a certain giving up "Dive in the water's great" so the person is growing on her.

I see this as someone who's falling in love with someone she didn't want to fall in love with, and she can't believe it. It could even be like those romantic comedies where initially she can't stand the guy, but somehow she's so inexplicably attracted to him.

How can he be so sure they love each other? It can't be that easy, she hates him. But she loves him. She has to keep calm, and she has to realise why she feels so jealous when she sees him with other women.

This song makes me thing of the movie Cube seriously this explaines how they feel perfectly having to depend on someone you don't trust but you cant let them know.

I know its been quite some time since anyone has posted, but I was listening to this song and wondered what immi was saying around 2:50 and repeats.. is it in a different language or is she just saying them?

I know it's a year late but for those of you that still want to know. She is speaking Japanese at the end there. Although gramatically incorrect, she says:

anataga koeno = Your Voice anatao soremade hashitaino = I want to keep talking with you until then anataga koeno anatao soremade hashitaino

My take on the song? I think she's in a relationship with someone troubled. He does crazy things sometimes, start fights, accuse people of stuff, cause trouble and she's always there, trying to save him from himself.

Is this a feeling of something About to happen? Like snapping out of something I Didn't...
