Touch Me Fall Lyrics
I'm waking from a dream
The neighborhood is green
All the sounds I've missed all the years
Come down to wedding, death, and fear
All I've heard has been in vain
Like water on a stain
Touch me I'm so beautiful
Rub your hands across my head just like this
Come with me now
It's not worth it if you don't
Are you hiding
I am hiding
Cypress moon I'm bald in June
Like granite in a stream
Swamp Ophelia I'm torn down
Let your waters let me drown
Touch me I'm so beautiful
Rub your hands across my head just like this
Come with me now
It's not worth it if you don't
Are you crying
I am crying
Jump, jump, jump so high
Watch me let you down
If I stumble I will stumble
If I fall I will fall
I'm trying to hold it like rain in a river
Everything is getting bigger,
Better this won't last forever
Touch me fall
Touch me fall
Jump, jump, jump so high
Watch me let you down
If I stumble I will stumble
If I fall I will fall
I'm trying to hold it like rain in a river
Everything is getting bigger,
Better this won't last forever
Touch me fall
The neighborhood is green
All the sounds I've missed all the years
Come down to wedding, death, and fear
All I've heard has been in vain
Like water on a stain
Rub your hands across my head just like this
Come with me now
It's not worth it if you don't
Are you hiding
I am hiding
Like granite in a stream
Swamp Ophelia I'm torn down
Let your waters let me drown
Rub your hands across my head just like this
Come with me now
It's not worth it if you don't
Are you crying
I am crying
Watch me let you down
If I stumble I will stumble
If I fall I will fall
I'm trying to hold it like rain in a river
Everything is getting bigger,
Better this won't last forever
Touch me fall
Touch me fall
Watch me let you down
If I stumble I will stumble
If I fall I will fall
I'm trying to hold it like rain in a river
Everything is getting bigger,
Better this won't last forever
Touch me fall

I've always thought this song was about being mentally ill. Mainly because it is so all over the place and so are the lyrics...they are just little snippets that don't directly relate to each other. And then it's on the Swamp Ophelia CD (and as you may know Ophelia was Hamlet's girlfriend and she was insane and committed suicide) So...that's what has always just come to mind when i hear it. I might be way off on that.
It is an awesome song though...no doubt.
Umm...I guess I always thought it was about making love. The lyrics are pretty suggestive, and if you listen to the song it starts slow, builds, builds, and then kind of climaxes, and then abruptly ends. See what I'm getting at? Yeah....
Music Lover is right about the Hamlet reference. Ophelia was driven mad because after professing his love for her Hamlet became distant to protect himself, causing the great heartache of indifference. Notice the many refenrences to water in this song; Ophelia drown herself in a river.
ahh... I absoultly love this song, but I haven't the clue to what exactly it is talking about. can anybody help me out here?? anyways the song is very aweesome.
What an awesome song to lose your virginity to. He he. I wonder how I would know....
I don't know about losing your virginity to this song, but it seems like the right song to commit suicide to. I don't think it is about sex.
yeah....? All of those are intersteing ideas....?
Its such a beautiful song... I think the chorus "Touch me, I'm so beautiful" could be related a number of ways. Personally, I see it as saying, "Why won't anybody come around me? Why don't people love me? I'm ok aren't I? Are they hiding?" And sort of to say that now that I've fixed my problems, they said love would come to me (Emily song) so I did and there's still nothing! Its distressing anyway...
It might MIGHT be a song about Self Harm... Blood and Fire, Keeper of my Heart, and Covered for You all pretty much straight up say that Amy used to deal with that.
Thoughts? ~LS
