Touch The Sky
Socialburn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How long it takes
All I know is that I can't wait much longer
And I don't know
What it takes
All I hope is that the pain will only make us stronger (stronger)
Is it the air in my breath that makes you afraid then I'm about to say what I never should say...
Who always gets confused
Between love and abuse
And all the people you use
Or someone just like me
Who can't go to sleep
Without fallin' in love
Without playin' for keeps
And we can touch the sky
If we only try
And I don't know
Why the water breaks
Or the wind in my hair makes me feel like I'm someone stronger
And I don't know
Why we make mistakes
All I can hope is that the pain will only make us stronger (stronger)
Is it the air in my breath that makes you afraid then I'm about to say what I never should say..
To someone just like you
Who always gets confused
Between love and abuse
And all the people you use
Or someone just like me
Who can't go to sleep
Without fallin' in love
Without playin' for keeps
And we can touch the sky
If we only try
Is it the air in my breath that makes you afraid then I'm about to say what I never should say...
To someone just like you
Who always gets confused
Between love and abuse
And all the people you use
Or someone just like me
Who can't go to sleep
Without fallin' in love
Without playin' for keeps
And we can touch the sky
If we only try
Yeah you can touch the sky
And break down and cry
The song "Touch the Sky" by Socialburn speaks about our struggles in love and relationships. The lyrics showcase the confusion, pain, and mistakes that often come with love, but also offer hope that these experiences can make us stronger. The song begins with a sense of urgency, feeling like time is running out and the pain is becoming too much to bear. The singer expresses their uncertainty and lack of understanding towards why things are the way they are, but they still hold on to hope that the pain will lead to growth and strength.
The chorus talks about two people who are similar in their struggles with love. One person is confused between love and abuse, and the other falls in love too quickly and can't commit. However, they both have the potential to "touch the sky" if they try. The metaphor suggests that, while love can be painful and uncertain, it also has the capacity to bring us to new heights and give us a sense of awe and wonder.
The song's middle section highlights the singer's uncertainty towards the relationship, questioning whether they are the cause for the other person's fear and hesitation. The lyrics suggest that both parties are struggling with their own experiences and scars from love, but they continue to try and work it out.
Overall, "Touch the Sky" is a hopeful song about the struggles of love and relationships. It acknowledges the pain and difficulties that come with it, but also encourages us to keep trying and hold on to hope for growth and strength.
