Future simple

Today, I'll be introducing Closer from the Chain Smokers

Welcome back to Crown's English Song Spotlight

We introduced Fight Song from Rachel Platten in the last episode

Today, I'll be introducing the hottest song , Closer

with strong beats and conversational lyrics

The lyrics are about a couple who broke up long ago

the Chainsmokers have a really unique explanation themselves

Today, We'll be reading behind the lyrics

The translation of the lyrics is in the info section

Hey, I was doing just fine before i met you

Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them

There are two explanations regarding the timing

the "was doing just fine" in the lyrics strongly suggests that

The just in "just fine" further emphasizes the message that I don't care about you

but you can feel there is something going on deep inside

maybe I have some drinking issues, but I'm ok

If it's before meeting the girl, he might be just saying

when they met again, he might be suggesting

he relied alcohol to get out of the relationship

No matter what, he's talking about his weakness

but denying his weakness at the same time

If we want to talk behind a person with our BFF

we can say that he or she has some serious issues

But i still left you and drove that broke-down car to city

The guy admitted that he's the one who dumped the girl

You can see they used the same word twice

Break someone's heart means 傷透了某個人的心

so you can see the guy drives a broke-down car

When Drew and Alex were writing this song

they really wanted to create an unexpected atmosphere

"four years, no calls" I personally think that

but also haven't heard anything of each other
