Reach Out
Twice The Sun Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoping, hoping that you notice I'm still here.
Changing, changing your mind turning back for me.

Time spent alone on the edge of this earth with one hand holding on and the other concerned, because time is a link, time is a link, time is a link, should we use it right.

Hoping, hoping that you notice I'm still here.
Changing, changing your mind turning back for me.

Time spent alone on the edge of this earth with one hand holding on and the other concerned, because time is a link, time is a link, time is a link, should we use it right.
Time spent alone on the edge of this earth with one hand holding on and the other concerned, because time is a link, time is a link, time is a link, for us now.

Reach out. Take my hand don't let go. Reach out. Take my hand don't let go.

Wasting, wasting my time am I? I think now.
Changing, I know you're changing you mind. You're walking away.

Time spent alone on the edge of this earth with one hand holding on and the other concerned, because time is a link, time is a link, time is a link, should we use it right.
Time spent alone on the edge of this earth with one hand holding on and the other concerned, because time is a link, time is a link, time is a link, for us now.

Reach out. Take my hand don't let go. Reach out. Take my hand don't let go.
Reach out. Reach out. Take my hand don't let go. Reach out. Reach out Take my hand don't let go.

(break down singing)

Time spent alone just you and I. You have to make that decision to save me, to save me...

Don't you leave me here, hanging here, cause I will just fall and it's just because, it's just because, it's just because I need you... you... you...
And it feels and it feels and feels like I'm slipping, and it feels and it feels and feels like I'm slipping away.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Twice The Sun's song Reach Out speak to the emotional struggle of feeling lost or abandoned by someone while also hoping that they will reach out and stay with you. The singer is essentially pleading for the other person to notice their presence and stay close, rather than changing their mind and walking away. The repeated refrain of "time is a link, should we use it right" adds a sense of urgency to the situation, as if the singer is aware that time is running out and they need the other person to act quickly.

The bridge of the song takes a more desperate turn, with the singer saying "Don't you leave me here, hanging here, cause I will just fall and it's just because, it's just because, it's just because I need you." This further emphasizes the emotional dependence on the other person and the fear of being left alone. The final lines, "And it feels and it feels and feels like I'm slipping away" tie the whole song together, conveying the sense of impending loss and desperation.

Hoping, hoping that you notice I’m still here.
Changing, changing your mind turning back for me.

Time spent alone on the edge of this earth with one hand holding on and the other concerned, because time is a link, time is a link, time is a link, should we use it right.

Hoping, hoping that you notice I’m still here.
Changing, changing your mind turning back for me.

Time spent alone on the edge of this earth with one hand holding on and the other concerned, because time is a link, time is a link, time is a link, should we use it right.
Time spent alone on the edge of this earth with one hand holding on and the other concerned, because time is a link, time is a link, time is a link, for us now.

Reach out. Take my hand don’t let go. Reach out. Take my hand don’t let go.

Wasting, wasting my time am I? I think now.
Changing, I know you’re changing you mind. You’re walking away.

Time spent alone on the edge of this earth with one hand holding on and the other concerned, because time is a link, time is a link, time is a link, should we use it right.
Time spent alone on the edge of this earth with one hand holding on and the other concerned, because time is a link, time is a link, time is a link, for us now.

Reach out. Take my hand don’t let go. Reach out. Take my hand don’t let go.
Reach out. Reach out. Take my hand don’t let go. Reach out. Reach out Take my hand don’t let go.

and it feels and it feels and feels like I’m slipping, and it feels and it feels and feels like I’m slipping away.

Had no idea we'd lost Tommy. I looked up to him a great deal when we were coming up in the scene together, and for having such an imposing presence behind the kit, he couldn't have been a nicer, more encouraging dude. I'm six months late in saying this, but rest in power, brother. Thanks for being a huge influence.
