Touch

This song just feels so much like someone who's seeking the feeling of being close to someone, being wanted, being loved. It's sleeping with the wrong people just to find the feeling that being touched can give, but all it makes them feel is hollow. They're desperate to "feel something".

This song to me is about feeling empty, and feeling you have no one. And you're begging for someone; something to make you feel again. Feel happiness, love and hope. Anything; anything to remind you that you have a emotions.

This song to me seems like a person stuck in a dead relationship. She dreams of someone loving her. She is so beaten down, hence "the creature in my bloodstream chews me up." She craves love so desperately and she is so depressed, it seems as if all she wants to do is to return to her dreams to "feel something" but in her waking hours she is numb, dead inside. She wants passion and to be cherished yet the only place she is able to get it is in her dreams. So sad but I can completely relate.

i agree with both meanings stated here. Howerver i saw couple of more meanings in this song. One is this song somehow reminded me of a person who lost his beloved one. With time he understands that he must move on and there is someone else in his life now but the emptymess left by the loss is not something he can fill so easily but his tired of it becomes a cicle of regrets. In this case the line "I'm dreaming of Strangers Kissing me in the night" shows how much he wants to fill that hallowness in his heart. Also the lineI meantioned previously tipped me with another meaning. That is sexual abuse. most likely it can relate for long term one where a person eventualy doesnt know between wahts real love what is not. Actualy after listening to this song many times I could start to imagine the situation and the need to feel something even thought the result is still the same emptyness. And noone told that the mentiones line should mean something good, so you can also say that its a nightmare. Plus the music itself indictes more of the tradegy.

It should be "A creature in my bloodstream chews me up/so I can feel something"

I agree with both cerabee and MayaMoo."It's sleeping with the wrong people just to find the feeling that being touhed can give, but all it makes them feel is hollow" well said. I relate to this song so much at this point in my life down to every word sung. So heart wrenching.

Firstly... I also guess the thoughts of this are missing sb and this awkward feelin of being hollow.

But also this song, to me, gives sth. like hope through this hollow feeling. And also it describes the feeling which you get when you finally find that person. Or pretty well the imagination of it. Of the day, the second you'll meet. And this is just breathtaking.
