Passion
Soft Touch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Passion molds a fear
It's a folded love
Death from above
The mirror's staring back at me
All the questions asked a silent plea
Torn up letters in the mail
I can't see what's really there
Building hope on shallow pillars
Of course the time will settle in

Back to the rhythm of a desperate try
Can you hear the crying
Distracted minds




Move to the time of an empty wish
We don't have the time for this

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Soft Touch's song Passion seem to be about the fear and uncertainty that comes with being deeply in love with someone. Passion is a powerful emotion that can have a hold on us, almost like a fear. It can also be like a folded love, something that is not easily unraveled or understood. The line "death from above" could refer to the intensity of the passion, which feels like it could be destructive. The singer sees themselves reflected back in the mirror, unsure of who they are or what they want. They are asking questions, but it feels like a silent plea because they are not sure if anyone is listening. There are torn up letters in the mail, which could symbolize a failed attempt to communicate or connect with someone. The singer can't see what's really there, which could mean that they are blinded by their emotions or that they are not getting the full picture. They are building hope on shallow pillars, which suggests that their foundation is not very strong. Of course, time will settle in eventually and things will become clearer, but for now, they are struggling to grasp onto something that feels fleeting.


The second half of the song seems to be about the frustration and fatigue that can come with chasing after something that is not guaranteed. The singer is back to the rhythm of a desperate try, which implies that they are stuck in a cycle of trying and failing. They ask if anyone can hear the crying, but it seems like everyone is distracted and not paying attention. The minds are empty and the wish is hollow, and there is no time for this because life moves on whether we are ready or not.
