Untouched
Red Delicious Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've never even seen you down, and I've been around a while
It's eerie the way nothing seems to go on inside
Like machinery, a cherry facade with nothing hard to hide
Who died and made you think you were god and
Put you on your pedestal?
I think if you're untouched then you're
Nothing's every disturbed you in your countenance
If you've ever shed a tear, there's no evidence
Believe me, I'd love to get in and just break you down
But you're empty; there's nothing for me to push around
Who died and made you think you were god and
Put you on your pedestal?
I think if you're untouched then you're
Unloved and maybe unlovable
And it shames me to be caught up in your beauty
Like anybody would be
All shine and no substance
Why couldn't you be human?
What a good one you could have been
Makes me angry
But it's of no real consequence
'Cause you're untouchable
Who died and made you think you were god and
Put you on your pedestal?
I think if you're untouched then you're
Unloved and maybe unlovable
The song "Untouched" by Red Delicious focuses on the idea of a person who seems untouchable, lacking any emotion or depth. The lyrics express how the singer has never seen this person smile or show any signs of emotion, and how their facade is like machinery with nothing to expose. The singer expresses a longing to connect with this person on a deeper level, to break down their walls and find some evidence of humanity. The chorus questions the idea of being untouched, suggesting that it may lead to being unloved and unlovable. The final verse expresses frustration with the fact that this person's beauty seems to be only surface-level, and laments that they could have been a good person if they had allowed themselves to be vulnerable.
The lyrics of "Untouched" express a common theme in pop music – the idea of wanting to connect with someone on a deeper level, despite their seemingly impenetrable exterior. It's interesting how the singer of the song both admires and condemns the person they are singing about, suggesting a mix of envy and frustration. Another interesting aspect of the song is the use of mechanical imagery to describe the person, emphasizing their lack of humanity. The repetition of the line "Who died and made you think you were god and put you on your pedestal?" drives home the idea that this person is perceived as arrogant and untouchable.
