“As We Open, So We Close” is a departure from the glossy synth pop that is such an OMD signature. It begins with glitchy uncharacteristic popping and noises and assembles itself into a melodic structure. At the end of the song, the structure of the song falls apart again and the melody disappears.
[Verse 1]
Have you seen this cold facade?
Concrete hands so scaled and scarred
Did you touch this cruel veneer
Born of pain and forged in tears
[Verse 2]
Veil of sorrow washed away
Bathed in love, I'm new today
Take me to your fragile place
I promise I will show you my real face
{Hook]
As we open, so we close
As we open, so we close
As we open, so we close
As we open, so we close (close close close close)
