Fingertips Lyrics
My all to eager eyes
Everything changes
From the oceans to the skies
Perpetual emotion
Set ablaze by me
Everything's breathing
My air in all of tree
Yet my fingertips
Have a special sound
Yet my fingertips
They go round and round
Creeps into my brain
A wave of my nerve
And also free of pain
Pa-pa-pa-ra-raaa-a
Hallowed be thy name
Live my emotions
And vanish all my shame
Have a special sound
Yet my fingertips
Smell of sodden ground
My all to eager eyes
(all to eager eyes)
From the oceans to the skies
(oceans to the skies)
Have a special sound
Yet my fingertips
They go round and round
Pa-pa-pa-ra-raaa-a
I'm sure it's about female masturbation before sex. Her fingertips go "round and round" in a "perpetual motion" and she feels all sorts of nice stuff, including an "electrical current". The process "lifts her emotions" and "banishes her shame", "before she can open her all to eager eyes". I think it's quite self-explanatory...
On the surface it would SEEM she is singing about masturbation but I don't think that is the case whatsoever. She is singing about the Universal Laws... I am talking Quantum Physics & Metaphysics here.... Everything that exists is Vibrational Energy and that everything is connected to the same source energy which is Infinite Love and Consciousness. Everything is infinite love on the highest vibration of its being, and that emotions of Guilt, Shame, Fear, ect take us away from what we all really are...... All these metaphors totally are in line with this. Even look at the very name...

Then if you listen to the song this is connected to on the album directly, it is about Telepathy. Another Metaphysical topic. Believe me... Emiliana is too deep to produce a song of this calibre about the mere act of masturbation.
I believe that the word "sound" in the lyrics is a form of self-censorship. Much better matches here "scent", which is very similar in sounding. Now let's put all together:

and there is no doubt that this is about female masturbation:) So I agree with pollyanne.

By far my favourite Emiliana Torrini song. It's excellent.
best one on this album.
my fav ET song as well. These lyrics are way off tho someone should fix them
I'd have to agree with pollyanna
never thought of it like that, but i can definitely see it...
I always thought it was "nerve ends", not "nerve and".. "all the trees"
but I love this song. I think it's just about how complex + beautiful the world is. evidently some (a lot?) of us are in the gutter but try to look at the stars, people ;p
oh, and the "round and round" could be referring to her fingerprints, the swirling patterns, each of them unique.

"sad replaced by mean" - i'd always thought it'd rather be "set ablaze by me"?!
about the meaning, i also think the song is about masturbation, which is quite obvious - there might be a deeper meaning behind the obvious as it is rather allusive than vulgar. of course the meaning could be anything, from the roots of universe to metaphysic or whatever, doesn't change the fact that she sings about how her fingertips go round and round, her eyes are closed, there's an electrical current that lifts her spirit, she's free of pain, feels no shame, her fingertips smell of sodden ground...
set ablaze by me
