About This Track

'Keep Me Close' by Blessthefall is a 2018 rock track from the album 'Hard Feelings'. Its lyrics are centred on an intimate plea, with a sense of loneliness and a racing heart, as someone remembers a whisper about heaven being out of reach. The repeated insistence on closeness turns the song into a desperate bid to avoid being left alone, even as uncertainty hangs over what can be asked for but never truly known, and the narrator ends up feeling lost.

"Keep Me Close" is a track by Blessthefall, from the album Hard Feelings, released 23rd March 2018. The track is 4:47 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Blessthefall.

Lyrics

Keep Me Close

Remember me
She whispered heaven's so far out of reach
Keep me close
Like a moment you're afraid to leave
So now this is how it feels when you're all alone
This is how it feels when your heart starts racing
You can ask but you'll never know
The way it feels, the way it feels
Lost and terrible
Hollow in ways you'll never know
If it's all in my head, all in my head
It's heavier now than it's ever been
So fake a memory
Keeping me quiet underneath
And if this is the end, this is the end
Destroy everything and make it new again
You're letting your fears stand in your way
The hardest demons that you'll ever face
How does it feel when you're all alone?
How does it feel when your heart starts racing?
You're out of time, you're out of faith
The hardest demons that you'll ever face
Lost and terrible
Hollow in ways you'll never know
If it's all in my head, all in my head
It's heavier now than it's ever been
So fake a memory
Keeping me quiet underneath
And if this is the end, if this is the end
Destroy everything and make it new again
Pull out my eyes
Show me my flaws
So I can see what I've become
Can we pretend I'm in a dream?
Can't take apart what's incomplete
So pull out my eyes
Show me my flaws
So I can see what I've become
Can we pretend I'm in a dream?
Can't take apart what's incomplete
I'm underneath
I'm underneath
So remember me
Heaven's so far out of reach
Keep me close
Like a moment you're afraid to leave
