Troye Sivan [Trxye] 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
In this song, Troye Sivan portrays the feelings of two individuals who seem to be in a moment of intimacy. The first verse is set in an atmosphere that is dim and almost silent. It's as though the glow that was there is gradually dimming and the only sound is the ringing silence. Troye mentions that he can almost feel his partner's breath and the rest of what he is feeling. The second verse speaks about the night being young and them living in the moment, moving closer to each other rhythmically as time seems to slow down. In the chorus, he speaks about being in the eye of the storm where it's all dark and still, and he can feel his partner's presence by the curl of their lips. It's almost as though they are in the center of an eclipse, but he reaches out and touches them regardless.
The third verse shows him contemplating the uncertainties of life while he's in the moment with his partner. His mind is in a frenzy, racing like a horse escaping. He's ready to jump and swim, indicating his willingness to take chances. He acknowledges that life is full of chances but nothing is ever broken, and they just need new hands to build again. In the bridge, he seems to request his partner's trust, acknowledging that he's lost, but they must get past all the rules to reach out and touch. In the final chorus, he reiterates his presence in the eye of the storm but reaches out to touch his partner, even though it's all dark.

Glow is low and its dimming
The light is fading and getting dimmer
And the silence is ringing
Despite the silence, there is a feeling of tension or anticipation
And I can almost feel your breath
I can sense you are close to me
I can almost feel the rest
I am almost able to experience the complete feeling
Night is young and we're living
It is still early in the night and we have a chance to enjoy ourselves
Hands move, moving steady
Our hands are moving in a slow and deliberate manner
And the time is moving slower
The time seems to be passing more slowly, as if we are savoring our time together
I can feel we're getting closer
I sense that we are becoming more intimate
closer, yeah
We are getting closer to each other
Standing in the eye of the storm
We are in the center of an intense emotional experience
My eyes start to roll
I am feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of our connection
To the curl of your lips
I am drawn to the shape of your mouth as you smile
In the center of eclipse
We are in the midst of a powerful moment together
In total darkness I, I reach out and touch
I reach out to touch you even though it is dark, because our connection is that powerful
My mind's goin' to racing
My thoughts are racing and I am feeling excited
On a horse that's escaping
I feel like I am on a runaway horse, caught up in the intensity of our connection
And I'm ready to jump,
I am ready to take a risk and go deeper in our relationship
Yeah I'm ready to swim
I am willing to dive into the depths of our connection
Life is chances that are taken
Life is full of risks that we have to take in order to grow and experience new things
But nothing's ever broken
Even if things don't go as planned, they can always be repaired or rebuilt
They're just pieces on the ground
Even if things fall apart, they are just part of the journey
New hands need to build them
We can use our experiences to learn and grow, and build something better
My mind's goin' to running
My thoughts are racing again
My hands cut loose
I feel free to let go and take action
But there's no need for answers
We don't always need to have everything figured out
Just the things you gotta do
Sometimes we just have to follow our instincts and take action
And I need you to trust
In order to take risks, we need to have trust in each other
That I’m lost and we must
I may not have all the answers, but we need to take this journey together
Get past all these rules
We need to let go of conventional thinking and break free
We must choose
We have a choice to either embrace these feelings or let them go
To reach out and touch
We need to take action and connect on a deeper level

I can almost feel the rest
Night is young and we're living
Hands move, moving steady
And the time is moving slower
I can feel we're getting closer, closer
Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roam
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I, I reach out and touch
My mind's gone on 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 gone on running
My hands cut loose
Yeah, but there's no need for answers

Get past all these rules
We must choose
To reach out and touch
Standing in the eye of the storm

In total darkness I, reach out and...
Standing in the eye of the storm
My eyes start to roam
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I reach, I reach out and touch
