Geoff Tate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there is a meaning that will complete me
in time.
There is a mountain of opinion,
telling me that my time could be better spent.
There are complicated circumstances.
They say you belong to a better man.
Yeah you're mine, you just don't know it yet.
Now when I'm right beside you do you ever see...
Do you see me?
And when I'm so deep inside you
will you know,
ever know me?
And when I move in you?
And I do all of those things that you want me to?
You're my world, I'm your satellite,
always free floating outside of your gravity.
When my finger tips touch your skin,
you will know.
When I whisper your secret sins
you will know.
When my finger tips touch your skin,
you will know.
When I whisper when I whisper your...
I whisper your name.
When my finger tips touch your skin,
you will know.
When I whisper your secret sins...
Baby you're mine. All mine.
The lyrics to Geoff Tate's 'Touch' touch upon the simple purpose and meaning of the singer's life. Despite others opining that his time could be better spent, he believes that being with the person he loves completes him. However, there are complicated circumstances surrounding their relationship, and society dictates that the person he loves belongs to someone else. The chorus highlights the singer's desire for the person he loves to realize their love for him as well, and once they do, they will be his entirely.
The lyrics depict a deep emotional intensity on the part of the singer, with his finger's touch signifying a physical manifestation of emotional and relational depth. Moreover, his whispered words suggest a deeper connection and intimacy which he desires with the person he loves. Through his words, he paints a picture of being free-floating, outside the gravity of the person he loves, but always coming back to their pull.
