Untouchable
Jacob Bellens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where the moon glows in your hair
And the rain falls down
On a ground that's cold and bare
Dripping from the clouds
Where I sing because I care
Till my lungs fall out
I'm asleep but well aware
That the word is out

There's a love and a sense of direction
In the matter that keeps us apart
There's a light coming out of the woodworks
From a crack in the door to my heart
Cause the summer is taking forever
Cause I can't take the heat anymore
Cause I know that for worse or for better
I'm at war with the one that I want

A tree falls down
Almost unintentional
The earth starts burning
With no one around
I hear you say
It's not too late
And we become
Brave and untouchable

Until the daylight comes around
And the morning breaks
In the center of this town
I'll be wide awake
I'll be out drifting about
With a heart that aches
And a head that's spinning round
From the sound that it makes

Cause I feel like I'm walking a rainbow
Cause I don't know where I do belong
Cause there's no one above or beside you
Because you have been crying too long
I've been climbing the walls of the city
On the run from the things that I miss
I've been drying my eyes to see clearly
Cause I know that there's so much more than this

A tree falls down
Almost unintentional
The earth starts burning
With no one around
I hear you say
It's not too late




And we become
Brave and untouchable

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jacob Bellens's song "Untouchable" describe a vivid and emotional landscape where the singer is stuck in the middle of different feelings and situations. The opening lines evoke an image of a beautiful and surreal place, where the moon is present in someone's hair, and the rain falls on a cold and bare ground. However, this image is immediately followed by a sense of exhaustion and desperation, as the singer confesses to singing until his lungs fall out, but still being "asleep" or unaware. This contrast between beauty and pain sets the stage for the rest of the song, as the singer reflects on the complexities of love and relationships.


As the song progresses, the singer seems to be torn between conflicting emotions. He acknowledges a "love and a sense of direction" that keeps him apart from someone else, but also mentions the heat and the feeling of being at war with the one he wants. The lyrics suggest that there is a light or hope coming from somewhere, but it's not clear whether the singer will be able to reach it. The chorus then brings a moment of resolution, as the singer hears someone saying "it's not too late" and becomes brave and untouchable.


The lyrics of "Untouchable" are both evocative and ambiguous, leaving space for interpretation and personal connection. The song's themes of longing, hope, and perseverance resonate with many listeners, and the beautiful arrangement and Bellens's emotive vocals add to its impact.

E’ uno di quei pezzi ipnotici, che ti
catturano e non ti lasciano più. 

Lo ascolti all’infinito. 

Dimentichi quasi che esista il resto della musica. 

Ne impari a memoria ogni singolo dettaglio. 

Eppure non ti stanca mai.

E ritorni a schiacciare “Play”!

Lyrics - Testo

Where the moon glows in your hair – Dove la luna brilla nei tuoi capelli
and the rain falls down – e la pioggia cade
on a ground that’s cold and bare – su un terreno che è freddo e spoglio
dripping from the clouds – gocciola dalle nuvole
where I sing because I care – dove io canto perché mi preoccupo
till my lungs fall out – finché i miei polmoni precipitano
I’m asleep but well aware – Sto dormendo ma ben consapevole
that the word is out – che si è sparsa la voce
There’s a love and a sense of direction – C’è un amore e un senso di direzione
in the matter that keeps us apart – nella questione che ci tiene separati
there’s a light coming out of the woodworks – c’è una luce che esce dell’oscurità
from a crack in the door to my heart – da una crepa della porta al mio cuore
cause the summer is taking forever – perché l’estate sta durando per sempre
cause i can’t take the heat anymore – perché non posso infiammarmi di nuovo
cause i know that for worse or for better – perchè so che nel male o nel bene
i’m at war with the one that i want – io sono in guerra con quello che voglio

A tree falls down – Un albero cade
almost unintentional – quasi involontario
the earth starts burning – la terra inizia a bruciare
with noone around – con nessuno intorno
I hear you say – ti ho sentito dire
its not too late – Non è troppo tardi
and we become – e diventiamo
brave and untouchable – coraggiosi e intoccabili
Until the daylight comes around – Fino a quando arriva la luce del giorno
and the morning breaks – e il mattino irrompe
in the center of this town – nel centro di questa città
I’ll be wide awake – Sarò ben sveglio
I’ll be out drifting about – Sarò fuori a vagabondare
with a heart that aches – con un cuore che fa male
and a head that’s spinning round – e una testa che è gira
from the sound that it makes – dal suono che crea
Cause i feel like I’m walking a rainbow – Perché mi sento come stessi percorrendo un arcobaleno
cause i don’t know where I do belong – perché non so a dove appartengo
cause there’s noone above or beside you – perché non c’è nessuno sopra o accanto a voi
because you have been crying too long – perché avete pianto troppo a lungo
I’ve been climbing the walls of the city – Ho scalato le mura della città
on the run from the things that I miss – in fuga dalle cose che mi mancano
I’ve been drying my eyes to see clearly – Ho asciugato gli occhi per vedere chiaramente
cause i know that theres’s so much more than this – Perché so che c’è molto più di questo
A tree falls down – Un albero cade
almost unintentional – quasi involontario
the earth starts burning – la terra inizia a bruciare
with noone around – con nessuno intorno
I hear you say – ti ho sentito dire
its not too late – Non è troppo tardi
and we become – e diventiamo
brave and untouchable – coraggiosi e intoccabili
A tree falls down – Un albero cade
almost unintentional – quasi involontario
the earth starts burning – la terra inizia a bruciare
with noone around – con nessuno intorno
I hear you say – ti ho sentito dire
its not too late – Non è troppo tardi
and we become – e diventiamo
brave and untouchable – coraggiosi e intoccabili

te escucho decir
I hear you say

no es demasiado tarde

I can't stop listening to this song.

A rich instrumentation, a multi-layered rhythm, moody harmonies, deep cutting lyrics and the silky baritone of Mr. Bellen's voice come together to create a sublime piece of music.

@nicolacazzato5698

Pezzo straordinario. Non riesco a capire come mai abbia poche visualizzazioni e non abbia riscosso il successo che meriterebbe.
