Untouchable
Garbage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is nothing new to me
It takes more than what you got
To frighten me
I'm not scared of you
There's nothing you can do
Or take from me

Untouchable
You think you're untouchable
You know
No one's untouchable

You're bound to lose the game
There's no one else to blame
You play so safe
And you're not risking enough
You are doomed to be undone
I swear I'll be the one
To bring you down
It's all your fault
Cause you got caught

It must be nice
To be so sure
And never feel insecure
It must feel good to believe
You're always right
And you're never wrong

You've got something to say
You say it to my face
And be a man about it
You got a problem with me
Don't go behind my back
Just like a baby

Pride comes before you take a fall
You'd best beware a woman scorned
Cause no one's untouchable

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Garbage's song Untouchable are essentially about empowerment and standing up for oneself against bullies and those who try to bring you down. The song opens with the singer claiming that nothing can frighten or intimidate them, and that they're not scared of the person they're addressing. The chorus echoes the idea that nobody is truly untouchable, even those who may believe themselves to be invincible. The second verse points out that those who play it safe and are overly cautious are doomed to failure, and that the singer will be the one to bring the person down. The bridge asserts that those who are too confident and believe themselves to be infallible will inevitably take a fall, and that nobody is truly immune to the consequences of their actions.

I love this one and the last break before the ending verse! This album floods my mind when I heard it in 2001!

@RicoLen1

Androgynous, Cherry Lips, and Breaking up the Girl were the big hits from this album, but for me the best songs were Untouchable and Parade. Loved these songs. Loved this album just as much as the first 2.
