Does anyone else ever love just listening to the lyrics of songs and trying to work out their meaning?
Like for instance i've been trying to work out what the hell Ben Lee is on about in his song 'Close I've Come'

Take a look: (hope its not too long!)

I slipped into a house
to escape my enemies,
and opened a door to another world
of lovers and whores
but I loved you more
than any of them
and ever before.

Look how close I've come
how close I've come
how close I've come
how close I've come
how close I've come I'm far away.

The universe is brought back
from the brink of destruction
every time that you smile.
But I can see things clearer
it's all smoke in the mirrors
Yeah, you broke my fucking heart but I still
want you

Look how close i've come
how close I've come
how close I've come
how close I've come
how close I've come I'm far away.

Look how close I've come I'm far away.

One can only guess
what would happen if
I got all my questions answered.
Then we'd know for sure
who's got the quickest draw,
who's laying dead
and who's above the law.

Look how close I've come
how close I've come
how close I've come
how close I've come
how close I've come I'm far away.

Look how close I've come I'm far away.

What do ya think? I feel like just chucking it out there!
