Translate
Too Close To Touch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm lost for words and I can't say, the things that crawl my mind
And on the surface I beg you, read between the lines

I'm lost for words and I can't say, the things that crawl my mind
And on the surface I beg you, read between the lines
I want to find a way, to replace the things I lost
They left so suddenly, couldn't pick the pieces up
See the color leave my eyes, but it's just too hard to translate
Chemicals that don't align, and I'm just too hard to translate
See an all familiar face, but it's just to hard to translate
Feel forever out place, and I'm just too hard to translate

I feel the demons inside me. They're trapped inside my mind
The greed and envy it haunts me. And it leaves me blind
I want to find a way, to replace the things I lost
They left so suddenly, couldn't pick the pieces up

See the color leave my eyes, but it's just too hard to translate
Chemicals that don't align, and I'm just too hard to translate
See an all familiar face, but it's just to hard to translate
Feel forever out place, and I'm just too hard to translate

Shadows only show when the light comes, but I see them all the time
Well if I could describe how it all looks, bite my tongue when I'm going blind

See the color leave my eyes, but it's just too hard to translate
Chemicals that don't align, and I'm just too hard to translate
See an all familiar face, but it's just to hard to translate
Feel forever out place, and I'm just too hard to translate





Just too hard to translate, just too hard to translate
Just too hard to translate, just too hard to translate

Overall Meaning

In Too Close To Touch's song "Translate", the singer is struggling to express their innermost thoughts and emotions. They feel lost for words and unable to articulate the things that consume their mind. The lyrics suggest a sense of frustration in the singer's inability to convey their feelings to someone who they want to understand them. They are begging the person to read between the lines, to pick up on the subtle cues that may reveal their true emotions.


The song also touches on the theme of loss and grief. The singer wants to find a way to replace the things they have lost, but they feel unable to do so. They are haunted by their inner demons - greed, envy, and other negative emotions - which make it difficult for them to move on from their loss. The final stanza of the song serves as a metaphor for the singer's struggle to translate their feelings into something tangible that can be understood by others. The shadows only appear when there is light, but the singer sees them all the time, suggesting that their inner turmoil is a constant presence in their life.


Overall, "Translate" is a poignant exploration of the difficulties of expressing one's emotions and the pain of loss and grief.

LYRICS

I'm lost for words and I can't say, the things that crawl my mind.
And on the surface I beg you, read between the lines.

I'm lost for words and I can't say, the things that crawl my mind.
And on the surface I beg you, read between the lines.
I want to find a way, to replace the things I lost.
They left so suddenly, couldn't pick the pieces up.

See the color leave my eyes, but it's just too hard to translate.
Chemicals that don't align, and I'm just too hard to translate.
See an all familiar face, but it's just too hard to translate.
Feel forever out of place, and I'm just too hard to translate.

I feel the demons inside me. They're trapped inside my mind.
The greed and envy it haunts me. And it leaves me blind.
I want to find a way, to replace the things I lost.
They left so suddenly, couldn't pick the pieces up.

See the color leave my eyes, but it's just too hard to translate.
Chemicals that don't align, and I'm just too hard to translate.
See an all familiar face, but it's just too hard to translate.
Feel forever out of place, and I'm just too hard to translate.

Shadows only show when the light comes, but I see them all the time.
Well if I could describe how it all looks, bite my tongue when I'm going blind.

See the color leave my eyes, but it's just too hard to translate.
Chemicals that don't align, and I'm just too hard to translate.
See an all familiar face, but it's just too hard to translate.
Feel forever out of place, and I'm just too hard to translate.

Just too hard to translate, just too hard to translate,
Just too hard to translate, just too hard to translate.
