The Touch
Max and the Makeups Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our summer day withers away
Too soon, too soon.
Speak low when you speak, love,
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift,
We're swept apart too soon.
Love is a spark lost in the dark,
Too soon, too soon,
I feel wherever I go
That tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here
And always too soon.
Time is so old and love so brief,
Love is pure gold and time a thief.
We're late darling, we're late,
The curtain descends, ev'rything ends
Too soon, too soon,
I wait darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me,
Speak love to me and soon.
The first stanza of Max and the Makeups' song "The Touch" warns of the fleeting nature of love and the impermanence of life. It advises to "speak low" when expressing feelings of love, as the precious moments shared between two lovers may vanish "too soon". The second stanza emphasizes the transience of life, and likens it to ships adrift. If one does not cherish each moment with their loved one, they may soon be separated, unable to find each other again, and it may be too late to reconcile.
The third stanza of the song addresses the inevitability of time and the fleeting nature of love. It suggests that love is like a "spark lost in the dark", and even though it is pure gold, time, like a thief, steals that which is most valuable. The singer acknowledges that they are running out of time, and the curtain of life is drawing to a close, implying that their relationship may come to an end soon. The singer implores their beloved to speak low and speak love to them, asking for a moment of closeness and reassurance in these uncertain times.
