I Turn My Arm
Gazelle Twin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know you're going to need it
Touch the cold air
You know you're going to feel it.
Now you're seeing me move all of my fingers
See me holding up my hand in the faltering strip light.
Turn my arm, touch the cold air
Touching everything I want to hold
Black on my skin
It's sheer and cold.
Feel a thousand pins all over my thumb
Twenty-seven bones as I turn my arm.
Touch the cold air
Turn, turn my arm
Touch the cold air
Turn my arm.
The lyrics to Gazelle Twin's "I Turn My Arm" seem to depict a person observing themselves in a mirror, preparing themselves for something that requires a certain amount of tactile sensitivity. The singer notes that they are seeing themselves move all of their fingers and hold up their hand in the "faltering strip light" - a phrase that suggests either the light is flickering or the mirror itself is shuddering. When the singer says they are turning their arm and feeling the cold air, it's unclear if they are describing a physical action or simply imagining it. However, the idea of touching everything they want to hold suggests that this is a preparation for intimacy of some kind.
The second verse seems to be focusing more on the sensations being felt as the person touches their own skin. The black clothing on their skin is described as sheer and cold, and the sensation of pins all over their thumb is evoked. The reference to the twenty-seven bones in the arm could be interpreted as a reminder of the complicated structures that allow for such fine motor skills. The repetition of the phrase "touch the cold air, turn my arm" gives the poem a sense of incantation - something repeated to build up power or summon a certain mood.
Overall, the lyrics to "I Turn My Arm" seem to be about the sensory experiences of preparing oneself for intimacy or connection, and the ways in which physical movements and sensations can arouse certain feelings.

I found them because of they are going to be in Cyberpunk 2077. They are awesome, you need to listen to their song Changelings.

The whole EP is very good, and the remixers fit GTs style nicely. I especially like the chiming Kuedo mix of this song, which is focused around the magical chorus section at the end here.
