Touch
Sivan Troye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.

Glow is low and its dimming
The brightness around us is decreasing
And the silence is ringing
Even though it's quiet, there's a feeling of anticipation in the air
And I can almost feel your breath
I am eagerly waiting to feel your presence
I can almost feel the rest
I feel like things are falling into place slowly but surely
Night is young and we're living
We're still young and have a lot of living ahead of us
Hands move, moving steady
Our hands are moving together in sync
And the time is moving slower
Time feels like it's slowing down as we enjoy each other's company
I can feel we're getting closer
I sense that we're becoming closer to each other
closer, yeah
Definitely closer
Standing in the eye of the storm
Despite the chaos, we are standing strong in the middle of it all
My eyes start to roll
I'm feeling overwhelmed and dizzy, but in a good way
To the curl of your lips
The shape of your smile is captivating me
In the center of eclipse
In the midst of things overshadowing us, we find solace in each other
In total darkness I, I reach out and touch
Even in the darkest moments, I know that reaching out to you will bring me comfort
My mind's goin' to racing
My thoughts are spiraling out of control
On a horse that's escaping
I feel like my mind is trying to runaway, but I'm trying to keep it under control
And I'm ready to jump,
I feel like I'm ready to take a leap of faith
Yeah, I'm ready to swim
Even if the waters are rough, I'm brave enough to face them head on
Life is chances that are taken
We have to take risks in order to truly live
But nothing's ever broken
Even if things don't go as planned, we can always pick up the pieces and try again
They're just pieces on the ground
The things that don't work out are just temporary setbacks
New hands need to build them
We have the power to rebuild ourselves and start anew
My mind's goin' to running
My thoughts are running wild and I'm trying to keep up
My hands cut loose
I let go of my inhibitions and take action
But there's no need for answers
Sometimes it's better to go with the flow instead of trying to have all the answers
Just the things you gotta do
We just have to trust our instincts and do what we feel is right
And I need you to trust
I'm asking for your trust in this journey we're on together
That I'm lost and we must
I may be unsure of where we're going, but we have to keep moving forward
Get past all these rules
We have to break free from societal norms and expectations
We must choose
We have to actively make a decision to pursue our own paths
To reach out and touch
We have to be vulnerable and connect with each other on a deeper level

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

Get past all these rules

To reach out and touch
Standing in the eye of the storm

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
