Closer Lyrics

I agree with most people that this song starts off quite isolated (Your dream world is a very scary place, later: lonely place). But later on the song expresses hope: "You're closer Closer You're closer To the truth

Within you Within you Within you Is the truth"

Finding some truth within is always quite shocking, and can co-occur with very scary moments inside this dream world... until finally you break out and find peace (truth).
