Touch
Troye Sivan [Trxye] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Glow is low and its dimming
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
I can feel we're getting closer
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

Overall Meaning

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 it's dimming
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
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
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 roam
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 roam
To the curl of your lips
In the center of eclipse
In total darkness I reach, I reach out and touch
