¨All those years of Isolation¨

The artist FKA Twigs releases her debut studio album LP1 in August 2014 to widespread critical acclaim. LP1 was nominated for a Mercury Prize and Best Recording Package at the 2015 Grammys. The English singer is known for her soft vocals and great instrumentals; her genres of music has been described as Alternative R&B, Trip Hop, Electronic, Experimental, Industrial, and Art Pop. Though Fka herself has described her music as punk.

In the song ¨Closer¨ Fka Twigs seems to be describing a relationship where she is very much in love with her partner and is very willing to do anything for them. The song also seemes to have a underlining theme of religion. In her other songs she seems to mention god or have somewhat religious aspects to get her through life.  In the lines In my mind eternal darkness seemed to be true oh so wretched ...oh so lost until my savior knew i was weary I was sleepy But you held me through; has the double meaning of here speaking about god and how he pulled her through a dark time of her life or her lover helped her realize a better way to live and was able to convince her and pulled her through. These lines also paint the picture that she was lost without her religion and finding God again helped her become whole.
