Felt, I've had to break chains with alot of what I thought was close people.. and even people who was really close to me, but either way it was a hard tower moment to bare but just know the universe only takes away people places and things to give us better.. why?.. cause we deserve the moon and wanna be taken there!! I know I'm on a bigger better path and in a funny way can feel something coming I don't know what but it feels magical and so I thank the universe for what it has and is about to give me and most importantly I thank her for giving us waterparks and all their beautiful emotion felt music!!! 🌻🍓🦄
I think this song truly shows how Knight has matured both as a songwriter and vocalist. Some of the softer notes that he is able to hit are ear candy. It is also what I believe is the most vulnerable song he has ever written. And I think sonically he is able to convey that message so well. The use of acoustic guitar, synths, and light drums is just perfect. This may be the best song that the band has ever made and released.
@@loma7845 it's way too sugary and oversaturated imo. the worst offender is the lyrics tho. "i'm a little bitch for you now" is grating to hear from a thirty year old man
@@roshanfey I'm not sure what sugary music is ,but oversaturated, that makes sense i mean he had a snapchat filter over his face the first few seconds of the video. The dislike of that lyric is a fair assessment. I believe it boils down to what type of man society says men should be which is the opposite of that line. Can you explain to me what sugary music?
[Verse 1] Nothing stays the same I feel love a different way So I contemplate the change I got my space but what'd I pay for you? [Pre-Chorus] Cause I love you Or I want to But I don't know how Because I need to really feel you But we're running around Because I love you Or I want to Is it easy now? You only hit me in the evening When I'm all stressed out [Chorus] I need you closer Or I need it over Either need you closer Or I need it over [Verse 2] There's nothing left to let go It's the darkest afterglow Maybe in another life We can try to get us right No, no, no [Pre-Chorus] Because I love you Or I want to But I don't know how Because I need to really feel you But we're running around Because I love you Or I want to Is it easy now? You only hit me in the evening When I'm all stressed out [Chorus] I need you closer Or I need it over Either need you closer Or I need it over [Bridge] Cause you're the holiday I celebrate too late You're the eyes I gave up trying to captivate You're the song that I loved, but then overplayed And I'm the b-side throwaway I hope you never rain on my charade The lonely one I let myself create I got my space but what'd I pay? I've been fucked so much that I no longer wait, I sabotage and break my own heart Just in case [Pre-Chorus] So yeah I loved you Or I tried to But I don't know how Used to need you And feel you But we ran it all down Cause I loved you Or I tried to Can we be easy now? Or will it kill me On the evening That I let you down? [Chorus] I need you closer Or I need it over Either need you closer Or I need it over
i’m literally in love with lyrics cuz it’s so close to me, it’s something personal…it feels like someone just take my own feelings and put in the song. so good, i just can’t
Yeah, somehow most of their song sound like somebody stole my thoughts. I might not know the guys or just Awsten well, but I feel like we would get along
this song absolutely destroyed me in a way that I cannot explain. I just got out of an almost 5 year relationship, we are 20, been together since we were 15, by eachothers sides every moment we could be until suddenly things changed. The lyricism of loving someone but not knowing how to love them in the way that would make them realize or feel it most is how I felt for months on end, and "the eyes I gave up trying to captivate", during the end of our relationship, as much as I denied it and postponed the end and acted like it wasn't coming, I could very much see it near, and I just gave up and let her string me along because she didn't want to hurt me by leaving. this song gave me a hard cry, among all of othe other ones I've had about her these past few months. Thank you, awsten.
hey awsten if you’re here: 1. WHAT THE FUCK 2. what the fuck : ( 3. words are not coming good to me right now because the enormity of my emotions is hitting me but thank you so much for this album. you guys are fucking amazing.
knowing this album is about religious guilt, framing this song as a breakup from christianity/god has been ridiculously healing and heartbreaking at the same time. i fucking love this band
Awsten sang this song at the first ever Waterparks concert I've been to (also the first one in Prague). And by the end his voice got so soft and quiet, it felt like a very special moment.
claimed this song so long ago. i’m so proud of you all including jawn and lucas ofc visuals are once again incredible. i love you all so much thank you for putting my feeling out in a way that i can’t
This song is so beautiful. My favorite song on Intellectual Property and maybe my favorite Waterparks song in general. The way so much emotion is conveyed and it doesn’t sacrifice anything musically with a great hook is so mind-blowing. Some of Awsten’s best vocals and Geoff absolutely killing it on guitar. Ottos drums remind me of an 80s ballad song, but it fits along to the melody.
There are many Waterparks songs that have great lyrics. None though that feel like a Shakesperean tragedy/love story. Awsten shows yet again how captivating he can be with a pen and a sheet of paper. It’s not just the lyrics that make this song amazing. It’s the music behind the lyrics. It lets the words tell the story, but it sets the scene. The way it builds during the verse, letting you feel hope, and during the second verse where doubt creeps in. The anger of self-sabotage in the third. But what truly stands out to me and still brings me to the edge of tears in almost every listening of Closer, is the empty space between what remains of a simple guitar accompanied by the hauntingly quivering vocals at the end filled with mourning and loss. Awsten, thank you so much for giving this to us, 4 minutes to heart break.
Completely obsessed with this entire album. I've had a really hard day...week...month... tbh. This album has been a wonderful distraction. Waterparks never misses ❤️
My favorite album❤️🐸 been here since entertainment and i just love everything yall do. Yall are my favorite band on this entire planet I'm so happy i clicked on that video those years ago youtube suggested to me cos yall changed my life so fucking much❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I saw u guys live and during this song me and my friend were crying and hugging and then like 2 minutes I started crowdfunding concerts are so bipolar 😭😭
i hope you guys are having the best day- this album is so so so special and its unreal to finally hear it after waiting for it. brainwashed solos tho >> ❤️❤️
Hello Geoff!! I hope you see this comment. It hasn't been long since I became a fan you guys attending your concert on December 6 at the Wiltern made me become a fan. I am thankful for my aunt who is also a fan of you guys she invited me to the concert. That day is very meaningful to me because it was the first concert I ever experienced in my entire life and I happy it was you guys!! So it's been 1 year and 4 months since I became a fan of Waterparks. I also attend the event on Friday in LA and I really wanted to talk to you but I didn't get the chance to talk to you. 🥲 I also really love the album and I am very proud of you guys!! ❤
The lyrics are something I needed to hear but didn’t want to accept
Same exact same situation for me.. I had to break free from my ex with untreated BPD.. it was one of the hardest things ive ever done..

From my up-coming review :)
Agreed !!!
this was the first song in a very long time to make me cry on first listen. GOOD AS FUCK
The 21 Questions, lucky people, high definition, and fruit roll ups of the album. I love it! ❤
Totally!!!
oh god no fruit roll ups is my least favorite parx song ever 😭 but otherwise yeah hahah. closer is my favorite on this album
Why?@@roshanfey

[Verse 1]
Nothing stays the same
I feel love a different way
So I contemplate the change
I got my space but what'd I pay for you?
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I love you
Or I want to
But I don't know how
Because I need to really feel you
But we're running around
Because I love you
Or I want to
Is it easy now?
You only hit me in the evening
When I'm all stressed out
[Chorus]
I need you closer
Or I need it over
Either need you closer
Or I need it over
[Verse 2]
There's nothing left to let go
It's the darkest afterglow
Maybe in another life
We can try to get us right
No, no, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Because I love you
Or I want to
But I don't know how
Because I need to really feel you
But we're running around
Because I love you
Or I want to
Is it easy now?
You only hit me in the evening
When I'm all stressed out
[Chorus]
I need you closer
Or I need it over
Either need you closer
Or I need it over
[Bridge]
Cause you're the holiday I celebrate too late
You're the eyes I gave up trying to captivate
You're the song that I loved, but then overplayed
And I'm the b-side throwaway
I hope you never rain on my charade
The lonely one I let myself create
I got my space but what'd I pay?
I've been fucked so much that I no longer wait, I sabotage and break my own heart
Just in case
[Pre-Chorus]
So yeah I loved you
Or I tried to
But I don't know how
Used to need you
And feel you
But we ran it all down
Cause I loved you
Or I tried to
Can we be easy now?
Or will it kill me
On the evening
That I let you down?
[Chorus]
I need you closer
Or I need it over
Either need you closer
Or I need it over

Thank you, awsten.
best song on the album for me. the final minute of this song is one of the best things this band has ever done imo
hey awsten if you’re here: 1. WHAT THE FUCK 2. what the fuck : ( 3. words are not coming good to me right now because the enormity of my emotions is hitting me but thank you so much for this album. you guys are fucking amazing.
This whole album is like massive punch to the gut in the best way possible
knowing this album is about religious guilt, framing this song as a breakup from christianity/god has been ridiculously healing and heartbreaking at the same time. i fucking love this band
echoing this same sentiment/experience from the islam side of things. sending love, healing, and solidarity 🧡
Wait THIS song is about a breakup with god??
Intellectual property, more like intellectual (SUCH AN AMAZING PIECE OF ART IM SO IN LOVE) urmomerty…. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
This song has me remembering my messed up past but in a good way and I’m so grateful for it omg I know I’m gonna cry to this at some point-
These lyrics hurt me in the happiest way possible.
Probably my favorite song on the album. Thank you Waterparks for saying the words I'm too scared to say.
THANK YOU INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY FOR CHANGING MY LIFE, I LOVE YOU SO FUCKING WORK OF ART!
THANKS GUYS!!
Awsten sang this song at the first ever Waterparks concert I've been to (also the first one in Prague). And by the end his voice got so soft and quiet, it felt like a very special moment.
claimed this song so long ago. i’m so proud of you all including jawn and lucas ofc visuals are once again incredible. i love you all so much thank you for putting my feeling out in a way that i can’t
the emotions in the vocals are really some of awsten’s best work yet…. Probably my favorite song on the album

Ottos drums remind me of an 80s ballad song, but it fits along to the melody.
Spent over a half hour listening to this track on repeat with tears silently streaming down my face
THIS BAND IS THE BEST
Best song on the album by far
ONE OF MY FAVES ON THIS ALBUM OMGG

Awsten, thank you so much for giving this to us, 4 minutes to heart break.
i feel like relating to this song is so sad to think about, but at the same time so comforting to not feel alone because of situations like this ♥️
Okay goosebumps the first time I listened to it. Oof good song🤩😍
THIS ALBUM IS SO GOOD WHAT THE
This somehow fits so good right now
This song is 10/10 forever a classic.
Completely obsessed with this entire album. I've had a really hard day...week...month... tbh. This album has been a wonderful distraction. Waterparks never misses ❤️
i hope all my dreams of becoming a big famous musician come true so i can give waterparks all the credit
thank you for saying the words that have been stuck in my throat all year. love you. can't wait to experience this one live, tears and all.
THIS HAD ME SOBBING
You hit a note that sent me such shivers my back popped. You truly are a musical genius.
I've never cried when listening to a song anymore. I did for this. This has to be one of my favorite songs ever and I really mean that
my heart physically hurts when i hear awsten’s voice break towards the end
third time i’ve come back to this. sobbing
This is the first song that made me cry in a while. This whole album is just a masterpiece.
I completely spaced off while listening and just focused on Awsten stepping on all the cracks on the road
