No, to be closer to someone, it does not function as a word in the context of closing something(edit) Joy Division's second album is called "Closer". In the English language, this title can be interpreted in several ways:1. As an invitation, ie "please move closer (to me, or to or music)"2. Getting closer, ie "this album brings you closer to what our music is all about"3. The thing which closes the door on the band, ie the "closer" (as opposed to "the opener").As with many of Joy Division's lyrics, you can put different interpretations on them, and this is part of their appeal. Personally, I read the title as the band whispering and beckoning me to come "closer, closer now", it's a very intimate thing. Also, there is a deeply English sense of irony in the title, because the word "Closer" suggests intimacy and deep human empathy, whereas Curtis's lyrics on the album actually portray a deep sense of isolation and estrangement from normal society.Their third album on Factory Records was titled "Still", and this title follows the same line of reasoning: Closer and yet closer...then at last, freeze-framed, still. As one music journalist wrote, "Curtis's death did not so much bring Joy Division's musical journey to an abrupt halt, but froze it for all eternity at the very brink of discovery. At least we can still travel that far with them". A wonderful, wonderful band.
