This Close Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Cassay280 

Cover art for This Close lyrics by Flyleaf

this song is about the people who have never had god, the unsaved. And cant imagine there is a life beyond what they have, but they know there is something missing.."In the hearts of the blind something you'll never find is a vision of light"

These ppl are lost. And when they first come to God they don't know how to take it, they just know they want it.."Looking in your window dressing in your clothes"

They are apprehensive about the whole God thing.."not once in life have I been real but I've never been this close before"..but they like the way it feels

its just basicly about the experience of finding God for the first time..the fears & emotions that come with it..and how realizing their is life beyond the simple empty life you've been living..Lacey does an amazing job depicting in in this song..

she makes it so perfect this song really makes you feel "this close" you can how the person in the song has seen god from a distance but not really had the full experience..

and if you think about it the rest of the album has a similar theme..

-read the song again whith all that in mind and youll see what im saying

You are so right! I could see the story itself in my head while listening to the song. Lacey is an extremely talented writer....
