Living Out Of Touch
Kingdom Come Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Day after day
Here's how it goes
Killing, rape and soap divorces
Television shows

All of this talk
Leaves me in doubt
Choosing to ignore it all
I'd rather be left out

Living out of touch
Eyes open wide
Thought comes along
If you let them they will just

Keep going on and on
Set in the light
Seem pretty sharp
Still it looks exactly like

They're standing in the dark
Living out of touch




Got a big to much
Living out of touch

The chorus of the song, "Living out of touch," repeats throughout the track, emphasizing the singer's desire to disconnect from the negativity and chaos of the world.

The final verse, "Got a big too much living out of touch," suggests that the singer has had enough of the negativity and distraction and is content to live "out of touch" with these things.


Overall, "Living Out Of Touch" is a song that criticizes the modern world's obsession with negative news and events, and advocates for disconnecting oneself from these things in order to live a more positive and fulfilling life.

This song I would rock going down the Las Vegas Strip, in 1989. It was awesome. This band holds a special place in my ❤.

Friggin' awesome.......God, I miss the 80's......fantastic music. This tune brings back some memories.

drummerbuzz

I still listen to this cd while cruising in the '72 Cuda 340. Nothing like 70's muscle and good ol' rock turned up loud. I will never grow up!

CVDE2886

That was one of the best rock cds from the 80's. They never got the respect they deserved for that cd.

Pieter De Vries

Too many folks ripping on them for sounding like Zeppelin. Myself personally, I don't care. They're one of my favorite bands and I still remember buying this album on cassette and wearing it out in my Walkman

Samir Izquierdo

I rock the same at 41 as I did at 21. And this record is a jewel.

Bread Man
