Closer Lyrics

Cover art for Closer lyrics by Anathema

Isolation is the theme of this song. The way the song is presented is so abstract and detached from the human anathema that it is almost like the inner voice singing rather than the physical being. It's the idea that no matter who we meet or what we do it all ends at some point, and we can't cling onto our happiness forever which makes this life so lonely and scary that we have to face it all on our own.
