Closure

Summer Walker's song 'Closure' delves into the emotional turmoil of trying to end a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the repetitive cycle of breaking up and making up, highlighting the difficulty of achieving true closure. Walker's soulful voice and heartfelt delivery amplify the pain and frustration of being stuck in a loop where every attempt to move on only brings her closer to the person she's trying to leave behind.

The song's chorus, 'Every time I need closure, closure / Mess around and get closer to you,' encapsulates the central theme of the song. Walker expresses the paradox of seeking closure but finding herself drawn back into the relationship. This cycle is further emphasized by the lines, 'Too many days that I've made this mistake and / Too many nights you and I've said goodbye,' which suggest a long history of failed attempts to end things for good. The repetition of 'closure' in the chorus underscores the elusive nature of emotional resolution in toxic relationships.

Walker also touches on the emotional manipulation and dependency that often characterize such relationships. Lines like 'Why you gotta hang your love over my head like that' and 'I'm just tryna get closure from you' reveal the power dynamics at play. The back-and-forth dialogue in the lyrics, 'You say wait / I say nigga / You say bitch / You say sorry / Then we kiss,' illustrates the chaotic and confusing nature of their interactions. This emotional rollercoaster leaves Walker feeling depressed and desperate for a way out, yet unable to fully detach herself from the relationship.

The song's raw honesty and relatable themes resonate with anyone who has struggled to find closure in a complicated relationship. Walker's ability to convey deep emotional pain through her music makes 'Closure' a powerful anthem for those seeking to break free from toxic cycles and find peace within themselves.
