Closetowhy

Parcels' song 'Closetowhy' delves into the restless search for inner peace and the struggle to find solace in a chaotic world. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is constantly waiting for a call, a metaphor for seeking validation or answers that never seem to come. This anticipation creates a sense of proximity to a solution or understanding, yet it remains just out of reach, leading to sleepless nights and a disturbed state of mind.

The recurring theme of sleeplessness and the inability to find 'waking peace of mind' underscores the internal conflict faced by the protagonist. The 'fight of the evening' symbolizes the mental battles that occur in the quiet of the night, where unresolved thoughts and emotions come to the forefront. This struggle is so intense that it 'holds me close to why,' suggesting a deep introspection into the reasons behind this unrest. The phrase 'I might never sleep at all' highlights the perpetual nature of this turmoil, indicating that the search for peace is ongoing and perhaps unattainable.

The song also touches on the perception of others versus self-perception. While some might view the protagonist's life as 'a walk in the light,' the protagonist themselves does not share this view. This discrepancy points to the hidden struggles that are not visible to the outside world. The 'space inside the walls' being 'alive' and 'shaking my resolve' suggests that the protagonist's inner world is teeming with unresolved issues and anxieties, further complicating their quest for peace. Parcels' blend of introspective lyrics and soothing melodies creates a poignant exploration of the human condition, resonating with anyone who has ever grappled with finding peace in a tumultuous world.
