Invisible Touch Lyrics

Well I've been waiting, waiting here so long
But thinking nothing, nothing could go wrong, ooh now I know
She has a built in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her.

She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart.

Well I don't really know her, I only know her name
But she crawls under your skin, you're never quite the same, and now I know
She's got something you just can't trust
It's something mysterious
And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her.

She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart.

She don't like losing, to her it's still a game
And though she will mess up your life,
You'll want her just the same, and now I know
She has a built in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems I've fallen, fallen for her.

She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart.

She seems to have an invisible touch...

This song is definitely about being attracted to a manipulative woman. It's about how she screws with his head to the point that he thinks he has to have her.

If you think it's about drugs or God then you need to get out more.

"then you need to get out more."

Wow, powerful argument. If you want to make a persuasive argument, get your head out of your ass and address the lyrics. Think a little! If you want to write a song whining about a manipulative female, why would you use language that so boringly obvious?

When the lyrics are consistently non-literal, I think we ought to give the author the benefit of the doubt and take the far more elegant creation. Taking drug addiction and masquerading it as a manipulative woman, with no lyrics in the entire song suggesting the...

@brocephus Its music...people interpret it anyway they want, thats the point. To say someone is wrong about the meaning is in itself wrong. Take the song however you want thats the point of music. grow up

The dark part of the story is that, of course, she's beautiful and looks inocennt. Yo would never imagne she hides attitudes capable of destroying a person.

Anyway, this song could also be about cocaine...

@Alieno I made this post 13 years ago. Just now I realize it should say "innocent" and "You".

@Alieno Holy shit. I never thought about the cocaine thing but after rereading the lyrics, yeah it all fits. It's still probably about a woman but that's a damn fine observation.

I'm the first one to comment on this song!

To me, this song is about falling in love with some real shitty people of the opposite sex.

One girl comes to mind that I've fallen for again and again, and she constantly proves to be horrible, and seems to have every trait that I could possibly hate in a woman. I would give name and address, but unlike said girl i've got Morals!

So right, corpseboy and Alieno. Totally what I think as well.

This song is about my ex girlfriend, I swear.

I love phil's voice! The song is about one of those girls who can have her way with any guy she wants and the song is from the guys point of view.

Hate those type of girls. Great song.

I think it's about being initially attracted to a woman who seems dangerous and risky. And when things get serious, when you're an official "couple"... all that danger and risk becomes apparent when she breaks your heart.

i have always loved Genesis... this song reminds me of my ex-girlfriend so much... as much as she drives me insane sometimes, there is still a part that pulll me back to her

This song is pretty clearly about drug addiction. "She" refers solely to drug addiction, anthropomorphized as a temptress female. Note the actions she does--none of them are literally true (a bad girlfriend does not literally tear you apart).

For evidence of that, look at some of "her" characteristics and actions.

-Her "touch" is invisible. You can't see drug addiction. -She will "tear you apart" and "mess up your life". Drug addiction can screw your life up bad. -She "crawls under your skin." Once you internalize her as a part of your life, you're changed forever, as any drug will do to you.

I could go on but it's pretty clear in its own right.

The entire Invisible Touch album is about drug addiction; "Tonight Tonight Tonight" is about trying to get a fix. Domino is about the effects of drug addiction on other people - hence the Domino effect. Listen to the songs in that light and the entire album makes perfect sense.
