Touch
Toro & Moi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fill it with stone
Some had it too well
Some had it not enough
The room is empty
Fill it with stone
Some had it too well
The room is empty
Fill it with stone
The lyrics of "Touch" by Toro & Moi express a feeling of emptiness and a need to fill that emptiness with something tangible. The first two lines "The room is empty, fill it with stone" can be interpreted as a metaphor for this need to fill the void. By filling the empty room with stone, it becomes more substantial and permanent, just like the desire to fill the emotional emptiness with something real.
The lines "Some had it too well, some had it not enough" add another layer of complexity to the meaning of the song. It suggests that the emptiness is not just a personal feeling of inadequacy, but rather a comparison to others. Some people seem to have everything they could ever want, while others feel they have nothing. This comparison only adds to the feeling of emptiness, as it creates an unattainable standard that no one can meet.
Finally, the repetition of "The room is empty, fill it with stone" at the end of the song is an echo of the opening lines, emphasizing the need to fill the emptiness with something real and tangible. The song is a poignant reflection on the human condition and our desire for meaning and purpose in life.
Line by Line Meaning
The room is empty
There is emptiness in the room lacking in substance
Fill it with stone
We need to bring in something tangible and sturdy to fill the room
Some had it too well
Some people had everything they need in life, maybe even more than they needed
Some had it not enough
Other people had a shortage of what they needed in life
The room is empty
Once again, there is emptiness in the room lacking in substance
Fill it with stone
We need to bring in something tangible and sturdy to fill the room
