"Closer" is a hauntingly honest reflection of the darkest corners of my mind during a bout of deep depression. I was desperate for connection, craving the warmth of my loved one's presence to thaw the numbness that had taken over. If she didn't come closer, I feared I'd lose myself to the cold, dark emptiness that was slowly creeping in, becoming a shadow of my former self, cold-hearted and detached. This song is a cry for help, a plea for love to be the anchor that holds me together.
