Everything We Touch
Say Lou Lou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And time used to pass so slow
I raised dragons by my side,
But I, I had to let them go
Days of ashes and nights of flames
A thirstful beauty then thirstful games
Do you need to seal my soul,
When you get out
Everything we touch turns to gold at night
In the dark we make it special, make it justified
Everything we touch turns to gold at night
There's a ghost of another she, and there's a lower light
Now there's a black star on my sun,
I can't make it go away
Asking what I chose wasting my time
Until I knew your name
Days of ashes and nights of flames
A thirstful beauty then thirstful games
Do you need to seal my soul,
Just let me know
When you get out
Everything we touch turns to gold at night
In the dark we make it special, make it justified
Everything we touch turns to gold at night
There's a ghost of another she, and there's a lower light
When you get out
Time we make it special, make it justified
Everything we touch turns to gold at night
In the dark we make it special, make it justified
Everything we touch turns to gold at night
There's a ghost of another she, and there's a lower light

The lyrics to Say Lou Lou's song Everything We Touch convey themes of past experiences, nostalgia, and the power of certain moments in time. The first verse details a time of isolation and reflection, where the singer lived in a hidden bay and raised dragons. However, they had to let these things go, indicating a sense of loss or growth. The following lines depict a time of intensity and passion, with days of ashes and nights of flames. There is a connection between beauty and thirst, suggesting that the singer sought something more from life. The repeated line "Do you need to seal my soul, just let me know when you get out" implies a sense of waiting or yearning for clarity.
The chorus is a declaration of the power of a specific moment. Everything the two people touch turns to gold at night, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for their connection transforming mundane moments into something special. There is a sense of deep understanding between them in the dark. However, there is also a ghost of another woman and a "lower light," suggesting that not everything is perfect.
The second verse presents a new obstacle, a black star on the singer's sun that they cannot get rid of. The questions they ask themselves become a waste of time until they meet this person and learn their name. The repeated refrain of "when you get out" could refer to breaking free from past experiences, limitations, or even from oneself. Overall, the lyrics to Everything We Touch explore how certain people and moments can transform our lives and shape our perceptions of the world around us.
