Touch Back Down
Ocean Alley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was feeling heavy in my corner
Well, I should probably go surfing
And I probably can't complain
Need to get up out this place
Through the sky to somewhere warmer
But the ride it, seems concerning
Makes it hard to journey straight
Oh, soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down
So soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down
This week I found some space
Hidden deeper underwater
As I rise up to the surface
I can feel it on my face
Have I found it all to late?
Can it even break my fall?
Bad dreams just keep returning
Maybe one day, I'll be safe
Oh, soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down
So soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down
Going through these different stages
I was lonely then
Found it falling into place and
Everything is clear
'Cause oh, soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down
So soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down
Oh, soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down
So soon
Won't be long until we touch back down
I just wanna touch back down
The first verse of "Touch Back Down" speaks of a weight that the singer had been carrying with him in his corner for some time.

The chorus talks about the singer's desire to "touch back down", suggesting that he wants to land somewhere safe and secure, free from worry and fear. He repeats this message throughout the song, indicating a longing for a place of comfort and belonging.
The second verse speaks of the singer finding some space underwater and rising to the surface, feeling something on his face. He wonders if he has found what he was seeking too late and questions whether it will be able to break his fall. The bridge of the song speaks of different stages that he has gone through, feeling lonely at first but then finding everything falling into place and becoming clear. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the singer's desire to "touch back down" to a place of safety and comfort.

Last week it had some weight
The past week had some emotional baggage and was feeling tiring
Was feeling heavy in my corner
Feeling overwhelmed and burdened with life's challenges
Well, I should probably go surfing
Going surfing is the best way to feel rejuvenated and refreshed
And I probably can't complain
It's better to enjoy life and not complain about the difficulties
Need to get up out this place
Wanting to leave the current situation and move on to something better
Through the sky to somewhere warmer
Thinking of going to a different place where it's warmer and better
But the ride it, seems concerning
The journey to a new place may be risky and uncertain
Makes it hard to journey straight
Difficult to take the straight path and stay focused
Oh, soon
Hopeful and optimistic for what's to come
Won't be long until we touch back down
Excited for the time when everything would settle down and be peaceful again
I just wanna touch back down
Desperately longing for a sense of security and stability
This week I found some space
Recently found some breathing space and comfort from daily struggles
Hidden deeper underwater
Underneath the surface, there are things that are unknown
As I rise up to the surface
Finally coming up after being held down by difficult situations
I can feel it on my face
The sense of relief and liberation is reflected on the face
Have I found it all to late?
Wondering if it's already too late for things to get better
Can it even break my fall?
Doubting if what's found would be enough to counter the fall
Bad dreams just keep returning
Nightmares and negative thoughts keep coming back
Maybe one day, I'll be safe
Hoping for a time when things would be better and more secure
Going through these different stages
Life is a series of different phases and experiences
I was lonely then
Feeling isolated and alone in the past
Found it falling into place and
Things are starting to make sense and fall into place
Everything is clear
Finally having clarity about things in life
