Touch
Sivan Troye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Glow is low and its dimming
And the silence is ringing
And I can almost feel your breath
I can almost feel the rest

Night is young and we're living
Hands move, moving steady
And the time is moving slower
I can feel we're getting closer
closer, yeah

Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roll
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I, I reach out and touch

My mind's goin' to racing
On a horse that's escaping
And I'm ready to jump,
Yeah I'm ready to swim

Life is chances that are taken
But nothing's ever broken
They're just pieces on the ground
New hands need to build them

My mind's goin'|to running
My hands cut loose
But there's no need for answers
Just the things you gotta do

And I need you to trust
That I'm lost and we must
Get past all these rules
We must choose
To reach out and touch

Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roll
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I reach out and

Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roll
To the curl of your lips




In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I reach, I reach out and touch

Overall Meaning

In "Touch," Troye Sivan creates a powerful and intimate atmosphere through his lyrics, conveying the idea of two people coming together to share a moment of vulnerability and connection. The first stanza paints a picture of two people getting closer in the stillness of the night, suggesting a sense of anticipation as they move towards each other. The second and third stanzas convey the urgency of the moment, with the singer's mind racing and his hands cutting loose as he moves towards the other person. The line "In total darkness I reach out and touch" suggests that the singer is taking a leap of faith, blindly reaching out to the other person despite the uncertainty of the situation.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of both risk and reward in reaching out and touching someone, both physically and emotionally. The chorus repeats the image of "standing in the eye of the storm," suggesting that the intense feelings and uncertainty of the moment are like a storm that the two people are navigating through together. The final lines of the song, "We must choose/To reach out and touch," suggest that taking that chance and reaching out to another person is ultimately worth the risk.

I can almost feel the rest

Night is young and we're living
Hands move, moving steady
And the time is moving slower
I can feel we're getting closer, closer

Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roam
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I, I reach out and touch

My mind's gone on racing
On a horse that's escaping
And I'm ready to jump,
Yeah, I'm ready to swim

Life is chances that are taken
But nothing's ever broken
They're just pieces on the ground
New hands need to build them

My mind's gone on running
My hands cut loose
Yeah, but there's no need for answers
Just the things you gotta do

And I need you to trust
That I'm lost and we must
Get past all these rules
We must choose
To reach out and touch

Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roam
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I, reach out and...

Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roam
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I reach, I reach out and touch
