Everything's Not You
Sasha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way
Anything that may desert you
So it cannot hurt you

You only have to look behind you
At who's underlined you
Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way

Everything you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Shakes your hand
Takes your gun
Walks you out of the sun

What you touch do not feel
Do not know what you steal
Destroy everything you touch today
Please destroy me this way

Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way
Anything that may delay you
Might just save you

You only have to look behind you
At who's underlined you
Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way

Everything you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Shakes your hand
Takes your gun
Walks you out of the sun

Once you touch do not feel
Do not know what you steal
Destroy everything you touch today
Please destroy me this way

Everything you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Shakes your hand
Takes your gun
Walks you out of the sun

Once you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Destroy everything you touch today
Please destroy me this way

Everything you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Shakes your hand
Takes your gun
Walks you out of the sun

What you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal




Destroy everything you touch today
Please destroy me this way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Destroy Everything You Touch" by Sasha are a dark and introspective exploration of the destructive nature of human relationships. The repetitiveness of the lyrics serves to emphasize the cyclical pattern of the singer's longing for destruction and self-destruction. The first verse "Destroy everything you touch today, Destroy me this way, Anything that may desert you, So it cannot hurt you" reflects a self-destructive desire to be devastated by the destructive force of another. The singer seems to long for the release that comes with being destroyed.


The second verse "Everything you touch you don't feel, Do not know what you steal, Shakes your hand, Takes your gun, Walks you out of the sun" seems to reflect the singer's confusion at the chaos and destruction he/she has caused. The singer is aware that they have hurt others, but they don't understand how they did it or what exactly they have stolen from them. The singer feels like a puppet, being controlled by outside forces that they don't fully comprehend.


The final verse "Anything that may delay you, Might just save you, You only have to look behind you, At who's underlined you" reflects the singer's realization that their desire for destruction is ultimately unfulfilling and damaging. They recognize that they are hurting others and themselves and that they need to break the cycle of destruction in order to be saved. The repetition of "destroy everything you touch today, please destroy me this way" serves to amplify the sense of despair and hopelessness that the singer feels, as though they are trapped in a cycle of self-destruction.

I agree with Ryan. Quivver aka John Graham is enormously talented in some many aspects! Hands down my favorite DJ, Producer, Vocalist etc. :)

Ezkimo 6 Music

Joanna Comens

Ryan O'Donohoe

God I've been a big John Graham (& by extension his aliases) but I never knew he was behind Stoneproof nor did the vocals on this track, cheers for that! I'd say I played this in most of my sets from about 3 years around the late 90s, legendary track! Still blast it out when I dig out my vinyls!

The struggle is real, what a journey this track takes you on. Masterpiece!

Ash Redding

Still awesome in 2018! When Paul Oakenfold dropped this at Cream all those years ago... Many shapes were thrown! 💙💚💛🧡❤️💜
