I Touch Myself
Natalie T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I pretended I was blind
Wavy hair and bright blue eyes
What a beautiful waste of time
Like a train leaving the station
There one minute, next one gone
You chase the feeling, not the real thing
Without a care but for your own
With people praying that you'll change
Turns out red's my favorite color
And I'm the one to blame
Moving on for you is easy
'Cuz your words mean something else
I really wanna hate you but I did it to myself
I'd say you broke my heart but
It comes as no surprise
I wanted to believe your words
But all you gave were lies
It's funny cuz she looks just like me
She even sings a little too but
I guess she was a lot more fun
And you needed something new
So tell me how it's living
With people praying that you'll change
Turns out red's my favorite color
And I'm the one to blame
Moving on for you is easy
'Cuz your words mean something else
I really wanna hate you but I did it to myself
I really wanna hate you but I did it to myself
How they come is how they go
I should know this by now
Maybe this time, lesson learned
I'll be better off somehow
So tell me how it's living
With people praying that you'll change
Turns out red's my favorite color
And I'm the one to blame
Moving on for you is easy
'Cuz your words mean something else
I really wanna hate you but I did it to myself
I really wanna hate you but I did it to myself
I really wanna hate you but I did it to myself
In "I Touch Myself," Natalie T sings about a romantic relationship that ended in disappointment and betrayal. The lyrics suggest that the singer was initially aware that her partner was not trustworthy ("you came with a warning label"), but chose to ignore the signs and indulge in the excitement of the relationship ("what a beautiful waste of time"). The partner is described as someone who chases superficial feelings rather than true connection and may be living with the consequences of their actions, while the singer takes responsibility for her own mistakes ("turns out red's my favorite color / and I'm the one to blame"). The song ends with a sense of resignation and a desire to learn from the experience rather than repeat it.
Line by Line Meaning
You came with a warning label
You warned me that you were not good for me from the beginning
I pretended I was blind
I ignored the warning and continued to pursue you
Wavy hair and bright blue eyes
You have beautiful features
What a beautiful waste of time
I spent so much time chasing after you even though it was not worth it
Like a train leaving the station
You were in my life for a short time and then suddenly gone
There one minute, next one gone
You came and left very quickly
You chase the feeling, not the real thing
You were not interested in a real relationship, only fleeting emotions
Without a care but for your own
You did not care about me, only yourself
So tell me how it's living
Can you explain how you can live with yourself?
With people praying that you'll change
Many people in your life hope that you will become a better person
Turns out red's my favorite color
I realized that I actually like the color red
And I'm the one to blame
It is my fault for getting involved with you
Moving on for you is easy
You have an easy time moving on from relationships
'Cuz your words mean something else
Your words do not reflect your actions
I really wanna hate you but I did it to myself
I want to feel anger towards you but I know it is my own fault
I'd say you broke my heart but
I would say you caused my heartbreak but
It comes as no surprise
I am not shocked or surprised by the situation
I wanted to believe your words
I wanted to trust the things you said to me
But all you gave were lies
But in reality, everything you told me was a falsehood
It's funny cuz she looks just like me
It is ironic how the person you are with now resembles me
She even sings a little too but
She and I share similarities
I guess she was a lot more fun
Maybe she is more enjoyable or exciting than I was
And you needed something new
You were looking for a change
How they come is how they go
People come and go in our lives
I should know this by now
I should be aware of this fact by now
Maybe this time, lesson learned
Perhaps this time, I have learned my lesson
I'll be better off somehow
I will be better without you in my life
I really wanna hate you but I did it to myself
I take responsibility for my actions and choices.
I really wanna hate you but I did it to myself
I am struggling with my feelings towards you but I know it was my own decision to get involved.
