Untouchable Part 1 Lyrics
I like that this song remains vague, because when push comes to shove, it is merely the best representation of the pain of letting somebody go. Somebody, a lover likely, who you know your time has ended with. Maybe she betrayed, maybe things just weren't working out, or maybe he knows he has to move on for whatever reason, but... god, he loved her. He still loves her. But he has to let her go. And this song is the best attempt I've ever heard at converting that pain into sound.
This song is probably a confession of love to someone who had passed away, but it haves another meaning for me too.
I have met a girl with whom I fell in love at an instance. We were getting along as if we knew each other long before. Unfortunately she was already in a relationship, so I tried to give up on her, but it was futile. We were hanging around, while her boyfriend was studing in another city. Because of a misunderstanding I confessed my feelings and she responded that it could work out, if she was single, but she isn't. She even told me that she had considered what it would be like if we were together, but according to her it would be a huge fire which will die out fast.
So I have to move along, but still it was the best time of my live. And this song gives an impression of the feelings that are pretty much similiar to those that I have right now.
It has to be about someone who has died because otherwise it would make NO SENSE. It would be irrational.

I guess women like to pretend they're happy with ordinary men who aren't in love with them. They prefer relationships safe and secure while in the bottom of their hearts they'd die for a passionate true lover who'd die for them; they usually hurt the feelings of that man and pretend they don't want to be with him. I think that chiefly depends on the man rather than the woman. Well, i mean we don't have to let go. Letting go means no Untouchable by Anathema; if he has really let it go, then why bother writing a song about...

Unbelieveable lyrics. The entire song is positive until the last stanza. It makes no sense, but then again emotions like love and fear don't either.
I believe that Daniel wrote this lyrics after metting his daughter. Then he had to let her go with her mother. Now she is untouchable.
His loved one has passed away, and he has to move on. He will, but he will never forget his loved one, and will keep loving this person.
Absolutely Brilliant song, can anyone tell me why is it named "Untouchable" though?
I think the word "Untouchable" represents perfectly his (the narrator's) love and feelings for her - no one or anything can ever change the bond he once had on her and thus it's "untouchable" :)

I think once again Anathema made a album that is all a only song... a only story. I think weather Systems is all about life, love and death... Is about been in love and in a way you know that you are dying.. So if you follow this line the first song .. Untouchable Part 1. Is about love some one.. love too much. is your dream your real love.... in the goods and bad moments... and realize that you are close to death.. then.. let that person go..
and the go to the second song...
Yikes. I just want to listen to this song at least once without sobbing.
Just think the songs is about their mom as so many of their great songs
