Touch
Denny Lloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can anybody see me?
At all
Anybody hear me?
Can anybody hear me?
At all
Coz when I look into your eyes
And when I'm lying in your arms
I wonder if you feel me?
Touch
Do you feel my touch?
Do you feel something?
Anything at all?
Your touch
Feels more than it should
Penetrates my soul
Makes me feel so small
Anybody know me?
Does anybody know me?
At all
And do I really know you?
And will I ever know you?
At all
Coz when I look into your eyes
I can see a stranger
And when I'm lying in your arms
Why do I start to shiver?
Touch
Do you feel my touch?
Can you feel something?
Anything at all?
Your touch
Feels more than it should
Penetrates my soul
Makes me feel so small
Touch
Please receive my touch
Please just feel something
Anything at all
Rust
All I do is rust
When all around me shines
I get scared sometimes
The lyrics of Denny Lloyd's song Touch explore the idea of the longing for connection and the fear of being misunderstood or unnoticed. The song starts with the singer questioning if anyone sees or hears him, indicating a sense of isolation and loneliness that he experiences. He then asks if the person he is with feels his touch and if they can feel anything at all. This may suggest that even though he is in a relationship, he is still not feeling connected to his partner. The singer continues to question whether anybody knows him and whether he will ever really know his partner.
The chorus focuses on the theme of touch and its significance in creating a connection. The singer wonders if his partner feels his touch and if it has any effect on them. He also talks about how his partner's touch penetrates his soul, suggesting that he feels vulnerable and exposed when he is with them. The last line of the chorus, "Makes me feel so small," highlights how the singer may feel insignificant or unimportant in their relationship.
The last part of the song introduces the idea of rust, indicating the singer's fear of becoming irrelevant or forgotten. He talks about how everything around him shines, but he feels like he is rusting away. This line may suggest that he feels like he is not growing or evolving, resulting in a sense of stagnancy and hopelessness.
Overall, Touch portrays the theme of the human need for connection in a relationship and the fear of feeling alone or misunderstood. The song's introspective lyrics and vulnerable tone make it relatable to anyone who has ever experienced the feeling of isolation or disconnectedness.

Rust

When all around me shines
When everyone else seems to be doing better
I get scared sometimes
I get frightened or anxious occasionally
