"Close The Distance" by Go Radio is a song about finding hope, embracing passion, and staying true to oneself despite the challenges and expectations of growing up. The lyrics begin by describing the discovery of hope in the back of a closet, symbolizing the innocence and optimism of a child's perspective. The belief written on old pieces of parchment represents a kind of faith and positivity that the narrator has never seen before. As the narrator reads a story of kindness, they highlight the power of small acts, such as a single kiss, to create profound change. They emphasize that these acts can help us get lost in a timeless pattern of kindness that overcomes any cost involved in spreading positivity. The lyrics then question when and why we all decided that growing up means standing aside and giving up on our dreams. The narrator wonders where the heroes have gone and expresses a desire to breathe, stand, and fight for our beliefs tonight. The chorus speaks to the determination and unity needed to overcome obstacles. The narrator encourages running until everyone can feel the sun, bleed together as one, and collapse together. They stress the importance of living with passion and never giving up, as well as the significance of supporting and carrying others who may be struggling. Throughout the song, there is a sense of yearning for a time when dreams and promises to fight were enough. The lyrics suggest that in the present day, we can still hold onto that passion and embrace the burden of fighting for what we believe in, even when it seems impossible. The song concludes with the idea of singing like everyone is listening and speaking words that carry meaning. It encourages embracing the present moment and believing that our actions and words have significance. The final lines reinforce the importance of unity, feeling the sun together, and never giving up, emphasizing the central theme of closing the distance between ourselves and our dreams.
