To me, this whole song speaks without words. The monologue at the beginning let's you know they are in space looking at an object that is ten to twelve earth diameters rotating in a rhythmic fashion. The whole time, the music is what the object is emanating, whatever that object may be. It repeats the same four chord progression but somehow building the tension. But near the end, the song gets progressively more and more intense. As the tension rises, the spacecraft is enveloped by the object and the beat of the object is heard for a while then gradually lost. Like a black hole, it distorts the message until it finally sucks the spacecraft in, ending the transmission. |

| Daft Punk – Touch (feat. Paul Williams) Lyrics

In the beginning, the song starts with light melodies and then warps into a highly processed vocal track, saying "touch, I remember touch." As if a robot or android is waking from a dream and is presented with that memory of touch. It is the closest thing it has to being a human and it can't have that "something more." When he says, "I need something more," I just think he is needing the capacity to feel love and give it. The song is so emotional because he knows that is the missing key, and he can't have it. The tension rises in the music a few times to express the anger and missing feelings. He says that it almost convinced him that he's real. Some parts of the song show that he is happy because the music is happy, but then it's like he is hit with the fact that he is missing love. The song ends with a diminished or augmented chord to show that there will never be a resolution. |
