Feeling Without Touching
Glass Candy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling without touching
Oh, feel us, we're all laughing
With the angel clowns
Oh see me, see me laugh
Laugh, laugh myself away
Away, away from doubt

My crown is tipped up
My world is zipped up tight
That's how I'm sane and sound
With touchable ornaments placed around
Like eyes, and teeth
We shine like gold and diamonds, oh
We smile, we smile
We smile, we can't be ruined, no

Feeling without touching
Oh, feel us, we're all laughing
With the angel clowns
My crown is tipped up
My world is zipped up tight
That's how I'm sane and sound
With touchable ornaments place around
Like eyes, and teeth
We shine like gold and diamonds, oh
We smile, we smile
We smile, we can't be ruined, no

Feeling without touching
Oh oh, oh oh
Feeling without touching
Oh oh, oh oh




Feeling without touching
Oh oh

Overall Meaning

The song "Feeling Without Touching" by Glass Candy explores the idea of finding joy in a world where physical touch is absent. The repetitive phrase "feeling without touching" conveys a sense of longing for connection, while the line "we're all laughing with the angel clowns" suggests that the singer and their companions have found a way to be happy despite their circumstances. The use of playful imagery, like "crown is tipped up" and "touchable ornaments," creates a fantastical atmosphere where anything is possible, even in a world where touch is impossible.


The lyrics also describe a sense of self-preservation, as the singer talks about keeping their "world zipped up tight" and using the touchable ornaments as a way to stay "sane and sound." The repetition of the line "we can't be ruined, no" reinforces this theme of protection and resilience. Overall, "Feeling Without Touching" is a bittersweet, dreamlike exploration of finding happiness in a world where physical connection is lacking.

I'd dig this track without the video, but Ida's dancing is mesmerizing in its kookiness. I can't stop watching!

This video was released in 2010 but it has such a 90's feel
