I Want You Closer Than Before

Alexx's song 'I Want You Closer Than Before' delves into the emotional turmoil and longing that comes with physical and emotional distance in a relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's struggle to maintain a sense of self and connection while being far away from a loved one. The opening lines, 'Couple hours from Japan would did you stay awake / Losing touch of who I am when you far away,' set the stage for a narrative of separation and the yearning for closeness.

The recurring theme of running in circles around the person he loves suggests a feeling of being stuck in a loop, unable to break free from the cycle of distance and longing. This metaphor highlights the frustration and helplessness that often accompany long-distance relationships. The chorus, with its repeated plea for closeness, 'But I want you close oh oh / Closer than before,' underscores the deep desire for intimacy and connection that transcends physical boundaries.

Throughout the song, Alexx expresses a willingness to change and adapt to be closer to his partner, as seen in the lines, 'I'm be whatever you wanted me to be / You know I want it by your side.' This sentiment reflects the sacrifices and compromises often made in relationships to bridge the gap created by distance. The song's emotional climax is reached with the repeated refrain, 'Ah ah closer than before,' which serves as a poignant reminder of the artist's unwavering desire for closeness and the pain of separation.

The song's emotional depth is further enhanced by its simple yet powerful lyrics, which convey a universal longing for connection and the challenges of maintaining relationships across distances. Alexx's heartfelt delivery and the song's melodic structure make 'I Want You Closer Than Before' a relatable and moving exploration of love, distance, and the human need for closeness.
