Untouched and Arrived
Ace Reporter Lyrics

In the first verse of Ace Reporter's song "Untouched and Arrived," the singer describes someone who has appeared to have gone through a lot of challenges in life, as evidenced by his eyes that are "covered in cobwebs" and "creased like they're alive." The singer further notes that many people have tried to find this person's true self inside, but have failed to do so. However, the singer also acknowledges that, despite these challenges, the person is lucky to be alive and to be immersed in the world, as well as in a relationship that has left him "drowned in a girl." The repetition of the phrase "to be so alive in the world" suggests that the singer is praising this person's resilience and appreciation for life itself.

In the second verse, the singer seems to shift his focus to himself, although some ambiguity remains. He finds something "covered in cobwebs fine/like they were mine," but it's unclear exactly what this something is. It could be a personal aspect or quality that the singer has neglected or allowed to fall into disrepair, much like the cobwebs. Again, the singer notes that others have tried and failed to find something within. Despite this, he still expresses appreciation for being alive and for having the opportunity to make something of himself in the world.

Ace Reporter's "Untouched and Arrived" is a song that invites multiple interpretations, but at its core, it seems to be about the simultaneous difficulties and beauty of life. The cobwebs on the eyes and the search for something within the self suggest that life can be challenging and that one must work hard to find something worth holding onto. However, the repeated line "to be so alive in the world" indicates that life itself is something to cherish and appreciate, even in the midst of struggle.
