close to you (feat. ASTN)

In 'close to you,' kenzie, featuring ASTN, delves into the intoxicating and all-consuming nature of love. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of vulnerability and emotional surrender. The opening lines, 'I build walls out of porcelain / Just a touch and you're breaking in,' suggest a fragile defense mechanism that crumbles easily in the presence of a powerful connection. This metaphor of porcelain walls highlights the delicate yet profound impact that love can have on an individual, breaking down barriers and exposing raw emotions.

The chorus emphasizes the almost magical influence the other person has, with lines like 'There must be something in your lips / There must be something in the wind.' These phrases suggest an inexplicable, almost supernatural force that draws the singer closer to their beloved. The repeated assertion that 'Heaven knows you've got my heart / And I would gladly fall apart' underscores a willingness to sacrifice and endure anything for the sake of this profound connection. The imagery of falling apart conveys a sense of complete emotional surrender and devotion.

The song also touches on themes of peace and fulfillment, as seen in the lines 'It's a peace of mind you give me now / And your voice is the sweetest sound.' This suggests that the presence of the loved one brings a sense of tranquility and joy that is unmatched by anything else. The declaration 'There's no doubt I'm forever yours' solidifies the idea of eternal commitment and unwavering loyalty. Overall, 'close to you' is a heartfelt exploration of the deep emotional bonds that love can create, capturing both the vulnerability and the strength that come with being truly close to someone.
