Amiture’s sound exists in the vast in-betweens of Captain Beefheart, Suicide, Nine Inch Nails, the blues and techno. It nods to contemporary club, dance, & sound music while paying homage to melody and lyricism- never restricted to any genre but always committing to a continuous thread of experimentation and big themes of life, death, sex and freedom. The duo taught themselves Ableton, have pushed their curiosities to their limits and have fleshed out their future sound with a series of remixes and B-Sides released in the summer and fall of 2022.
Touch
Amiture Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's electric shock
Remember the time
You knew it would work
You′ve been a dirty little liar
It's mine now
You live a dirty little life
You will never be mine now
I won
This game
You called
Drying up
I saw
The same
It broke him
That man
When you touch me
I feel like I'm dying now
When you touch me
It′s like the world disappears now
It′s like overload of life
And that's the way that I like it
It′s like the fire in me
Gets you over the wire
I let you dream for years
You dream about your dream
But what about me?
What about my dreams?
I won
This game
You called
Drying up
I saw
The same
It broke him
That man
The lyrics to Amiture's song "Touch" reflect the singer's intense, almost addictive attraction to someone who both excites and harms them. The opening lines, "It's in the way, it's electric shock, remember the time you knew it would work," convey an almost palpable physical sensation of desire and anticipation. However, as the song progresses, the darker side of this attraction is revealed. The lines "you've been a dirty little liar, it's mine now, you live a dirty little life, you will never be mine now" suggest that the singer has been deceived and misled by their object of desire, and that they can never truly possess them.
The chorus of the song further emphasizes this intense, almost destructive passion, with the repeated refrain "when you touch me, I feel like I'm dying now." While the singer acknowledges that this attraction is all-consuming and overwhelming, they seem to revel in it, with lines like "it's like overload of life, and that's the way that I like it." There is a sense that the singer is addicted to the highs and lows of this relationship, even though it may be ultimately harmful to them.
The final verse of the song reveals a sense of frustration and unfulfilled longing, with the lines "I let you dream for years, you dream about your dream, but what about me? What about my dreams?" It seems that the singer's focus on their intense attraction has caused them to neglect their own goals and aspirations, and they are left feeling unfulfilled and incomplete.
Overall, the lyrics to "Touch" are a vivid and evocative depiction of a complex, passionate, and ultimately problematic relationship.
