Closure

The song 'Closure' by The Plot In You delves into the emotional turmoil and the desperate need for resolution following a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has been deeply hurt and is grappling with the aftermath of a toxic connection. The opening lines, 'Why did you reach towards me like I was paid for? Always what you want and never what you need,' suggest a relationship where one party felt used and unappreciated, highlighting the imbalance and emotional strain that characterized their interactions.

The recurring plea for closure underscores the protagonist's struggle to move on. The repetition of 'I need some closure, not enough to bring me back or get closer, 'cus I don’t think I’d live through that again' reveals a profound fear of reliving the pain and a recognition that revisiting the past would be too overwhelming. This sentiment is further emphasized by the lines 'I’d kill to sit and say nothing, you say it’s never your fault,' which reflect the frustration and helplessness felt when dealing with someone who refuses to take responsibility for their actions.

The song's chorus and bridge convey a sense of finality and resignation. The protagonist acknowledges that there is 'nothing left of us' and that they are 'losing, always excusing,' indicating a realization that the relationship is beyond repair. The repeated assertion of not being able to 'live through that again' serves as a powerful declaration of self-preservation and the need to protect oneself from further harm. The dark, intense tone of the music complements the raw emotion in the lyrics, making 'Closure' a poignant exploration of the pain and necessity of letting go.
