Telepathy
Torrini Emiliana Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Think of me
Very scientifically
Share your thoughts with me
Send them over land and sea

They seep through walls
Echo down abandoned halls

Let me see your joy and fear

How can it be, we never see
What we have until it's gone
Why is it so, we never know
What we have until it's gone

The more I try
All the faster you'll slip by
So vaporize
Slide to me like liquid ice

I can see into your eyes

Why is it so, we never know
What we have until it's gone

Until we burn, we never learn
What we have until it's gone

Scientificl-cl-cl-cl-cl

Scientificl-cl-cl-cl-cl

I can see into your eyes
Deepest blue of winter skies!

Why is it so, we never know
What we have until it's gone

Until we burn, we never learn
What we have until it's gone

Overall Meaning

In "Telepathy," Torrini Emiliana explores the idea of connecting with another person on a deeper, more spiritual level. The lyrics suggest a longing for a kind of communication that transcends traditional methods, an ability to share thoughts and emotions with another person without ever having to speak. The opening lines of the song set the tone for this idea, as Torrini urges the listener to think of her "very scientifically" and to "share your thoughts with me" as they "send them over land and sea."

The second verse builds on this theme, using imagery to show the power and complexity of this type of communication. The thoughts "seep through walls" and "echo down abandoned halls," suggesting a kind of otherworldly or supernatural connection that defies our conventional understanding of space and time. Torrini also expresses a desire to see the listener's "joy and fear," suggesting that true telepathy involves a level of vulnerability and intimacy that we rarely experience in real life.

As the song progresses, Torrini's lyrics take on a more desperate, urgent tone, expressing a fear of losing the connection she shares with the listener. She acknowledges that the more she tries to hold onto it, the more it seems to slip away, comparing the experience to "vaporize" or "liquid ice." She concludes the song with a poignant realization: that we often don't appreciate what we have until it's gone, and that until we truly "burn," we can never truly learn.

Overall, "Telepathy" is a haunting, beautifully written exploration of the power of human connection and the mysteries of the human mind.
