Come a Little Closer Lyrics

Cover art for Come a Little Closer lyrics by Cage the Elephant

I feel as if the first verse is about how a person was in trouble then they found someone pure and inspiring who later on became more of an equal because of things they have done 'DUST BEHIND YOU' could be a metaphor bad decisions.'this world at times will blind you' probably means that you know its not your fault you got caught up in that mess everybody makes mistakes "still i know ill see you there' probably means that the friend is strong the 2nd verse prob means something similar.How the friend and you go are at a breaking point and your at a crossroads are u guna lay down and let it defeat you or are u guna fight.(with the final verse i cant quite figure it out yet) and then the chorus my FAV PART is about how EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING has more meaning to it,more depth,more value then what is on the surface.And i also think that it is kind of a way to challenge the listener to really look at themselves and figure out why they are the way they are,why do you feel?

My Interpretation

@booboobooboo I don't entirely agree with you, but I liked how you mentioned the line "Earthquakes shake the dust behind you." I feel like this could symbolize how our bad decisions leave a trail of dust, or in this case, consequences for you and those behind you.
