Destroy Everything You Touch
Ladytron Lyrics

Destroy everything you touch today
The singer is urging someone to destroy everything they touch that day, metaphorically suggesting that they need to remove anything that may harm them.

Destroy me this way
The singer wants the listener to destroy them in the same way, as they believe it will ultimately lead to their own protection.

Anything that may desert you
The idea that the listener should eliminate anything that could potentially leave them in a time of need or vulnerability.

So it cannot hurt you
Once the listener has eradicated these potentially harmful things, they won't be able to hurt them any longer.

You only have to look behind you
The artist advises that the listener should look at who/what is supporting them, possibly suggesting that these people/things should be kept and appreciated.

At who's underlined you
The listener should pay attention to those who have marked or emphasized them in some way, perhaps indicating that they are important allies or potential threats.

Everything you touch you don't feel
The listener has become desensitized to the things they come into contact with and may not even realize the power they hold.

Do not know what you steal
The listener may unintentionally take things from others without even realizing their impact on those around them.

Shakes your hand
The idea that someone may willingly interact with the listener, only for that interaction to cause harm and pain.

Takes your gun
This line could imply that someone has lied or betrayed the listener, taking something from them that was meant to protect them.

Walks you out of the sun
The idea that this person is now leading the listener into a darker, more dangerous place.

Anything that may delay you
Just as earlier, the singer urges the listener to eliminate anything that could potentially hold them back or delay their progress.

Might just save you
The listener may be able to protect themselves from future harm by getting rid of these hindrances.
