Touched
Vast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Touched,
You say that I am too,
So much,
Of what you say is true,

I'll never find someone quite like you,
Again,
I'll never find someone quite like you,
Like You,

The razors and the dying roses,
Plead I don't leave you alone,
The demi-gods and hungry ghosts,
God, god knows I'm not at home,

I'll never find someone quite like you,
Again,
I'll never find someone quite like you,
Again,

I looked into your eyes and
Saw a world that does not exist,
I looked into your eyes and,
Saw a world I wish I was in,





I'll never find someone quite as touched as you
I'll never love someone quite the way that I loved you.

Overall Meaning

The song Touched by VAST is an emotional ballad about a love that was once found but lost. The lyrics explore the raw and honest feelings of someone who has lost their lover and is now trying to come to terms with the fact that they may never find someone quite like them again. The opening lines "Touched, You say that I am too, So much, Of what you say is true" suggest that the singer's lover has made them see themselves in a new light, and that they have an insight into their deepest thoughts and feelings that they have never experienced before. The lyrics highlight the uniqueness of their connection, with the line "I'll never find someone quite like you, Again," emphasizing that there is no one else quite like them.


The second verse of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer describes being haunted by memories of their former partner. "The razors and the dying roses, Plead I don't leave you alone, The demi-gods and hungry ghosts, God, god knows I'm not at home," portrays the singer's sense of loss and their feelings of being disconnected from the world. They are surrounded by symbols of death and decay, and even their inner demons are begging them to hold on to the memory of their love.


The chorus of the song provides the emotional climax, with the singer admitting that they will never find someone as "touched" as their former partner, and that they will never love someone quite as much. The final lines "I looked into your eyes and Saw a world that does not exist, I looked into your eyes and, Saw a world I wish I was in," suggests that the relationship was perhaps never meant to be, but the love they shared was real and powerful.

@@MephProduction,
I don't understand what you are saying.

How is it not his fault but also not fair to invested viewers?

It's total his fault cause...

A, he knew the WB wanted to cancel his show a year before, he should have expected it to happen again.

(That being said, the ratings were up and chances of cancelation were less.)

B, Joss actually pressured the network into an early renewal. But the then president Jordan Levin didn't want to make an early decision, and Joss nagging him made Levin decide to cancel it.

I understand wanting to know where you stand, but Joss could have done it better.

"I need to know now"
vs
"Hey dude no pressure, but I really would like to know where we stand as soon as possible so that if you decide to end the show I can give the fans the best ending I can"

But Whedon didn't show much concern for that stuff. Certainly not for the fans.

He didn't change anything that happened on the last episode...except deciding to kill 2 characters.

(Lindsey was supposed to become a regular member, and Wesley got the scapegoat role of failing his mission.)

That episode was good, but should have been a 2 part episode.

There were no big screen or telemovies to conclude....cause Whedon doesn't care.

It's mostly his fault.
He's the boss, it's his responsibility!

Buffy was his 1st child, who he was proud of. Firefly was the youngest who got cuddled. Angel is the middle child who got ignored.

@@Xeema4869,
Angel or Angel the series (ATS) is a spin off of a show called Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

It is recommended you watch the 1st 3 seasons of Buffy, as Angel started on a,character rhere, however it is not needed.

The 1st episode of Angel will tell you a little bit about who he is and give references to who Buffy is.

He's a vampire, but he's good, and wants to help people.

In thjs universe, he has what's called a soul. Which basically means he has a conscience of what is right & wrong.

Other vampires in the show do not have that, so they are evil.

The show follows a similar theme to Xena, a character looking for redemption.

Yeah, I would check this show out.

This song blew my 15-year old brain into another dimension when I first heard it back in 1998. Hearing it again at 40 has an even more profound effect on my entire soul (nostalgia is a hell of a catalyst for good feelings).

@keiththomson3611

I just turned 40, and sadly the older you get the more you look to the past. The past never loses its lustre, while the future always looks a little dimmer. This song will always send me back to my youth with a punch to the gut

@discardmyfriends

That's disappointing to hear, I'm about to turn 31 and honestly feel the same way but at the same time hoping my best days aren't behind me

@7star7storm7

I just turned 44 .. once you've seen behind the scenes at the puppet show you can't unsee .. but don't stop chasing the rainbow ( the one we grew up with .. not the gay one) ✌️
