Touch
Troye Sivan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the silence is ringing
And I can almost feel your breath
I can almost feel the rest
Night is young and we're living
Hands move, moving steady
And the time is moving slower
closer, yeah
Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roll
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I, I reach out and touch
My mind's goin' to racing
On a horse that's escaping
And I'm ready to jump,
Yeah I'm ready to swim
Life is chances that are taken
But nothing's ever broken
They're just pieces on the ground
New hands need to build them
My mind's goin'|to running
My hands cut loose
But there's no need for answers
Just the things you gotta do
And I need you to trust
That I'm lost and we must
Get past all these rules
We must choose
To reach out and touch
Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roll
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I reach out and
Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roll
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I reach, I reach out and touch
The song "Touch" by Troye Sivan is about being present in the moment, letting go of rules and expectations and choosing to connect with someone on a deeper level. The opening lines describe a situation where the energy is waning and the silence is almost audible. Despite this, there is a sense of anticipation, and the singer can feel his partner's presence close by. As the night progresses, they move closer to each other both physically and emotionally, and time seems to slow down as they become more intimate.
The lyrics compare being in the eye of a storm to the intensity of the feelings that arise when the two individuals touch. The storm is chaotic and unsettling, but being in the eye of it offers a momentary respite from the turbulence. In the same way, the connection with the other person is intense and emotionally charged, but it offers a sense of calm and meaning in an otherwise uncertain world. The song also acknowledges the fact that life is full of risks and that things do not always go according to plan. However, it stresses the importance of taking chances and being open to new experiences in order to grow and learn.
Overall, "Touch" is a poignant and introspective song that captures the excitement and vulnerability of being present in the moment and connecting with someone else on a deep level.
