Touch
(Marco Rigamonti Remix) Daughter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't stand to be so dead behind the eyes
And feed me, spark me up
A creature in my blood stream chews me up
So I can feel something
So I can feel something
'Cause I've been missing it
I'm dreaming of
Strangers
Kissing me in the night
Just so I
Just so I
Can feel something
Can feel something
Can feel something
Can feel something
You steal me away
With your eyes and with your mouth
And just take me back to a room in your house
And stare at me with the lights off
To feel something
To feel something
To feel something
To feel something
In the night
In the night
In the night
When we touch
In the night
'Cause I've been lusting it
The lyrics of "Touch" by Daughter (Marco Rigamonti Remix) revolve around the desire for human connection and the desperation to feel something, anything.

The singer yearns for human touch as a means of alleviating the numbness that has taken over her body and soul. The verse "Love hunt me down, I can't stand to be so dead behind the eyes" demonstrates how she's cognizant of her own emotional disconnect and seeks to reconnect.
She expresses her craving for the physical and the emotional by saying "Give me touch 'cause I’ve been missing it, I’m dreaming of strangers kissing me in the night, Just so I, Just so I can feel something." She is searching for someone to break her out of her emotional shell, even if just for a moment, regardless of whether or not it is someone she knows. The lines "You steal me away, With your eyes and with your mouth, And just take me back to a room in your house, And stare at me with the lights off" indicates her willingness to take risks in order to feel something, even if it means being with a stranger she doesn't entirely know.
Overall, the song is both melancholic and moving, with the singer's vulnerability and desperation shining through. It's a song filled with raw emotions and a relatable sense of longing which makes it resonate with many listeners.
