Touched

I first heard this song when I caught the video. The music, lyrics and the video were simply haunting. Having fallen in love with someone I could not hold onto who passed through my life all too quickly, I felt like the song could have been written for me. For myself, emotionally, the song was simply devastating.

I love this song sooooo much! I first heard it when I had just fallen in love for the first time. Its been 2 years now and I still love her as much as I did that day. This song still reminds me of her. The mix between heavy music and loving lyrics makes me shudder it so good! WELL DONE JON!

i knew this song long before i knew vast sang it.the guy i like sings it to me constantly because we like each other and we wanna b in each others worlds but everyone makes it so damn hard and he says that he feels he cant leave me on my own.a haunting beautifull tear jerker of a song .go vast.

That really takes audacity to compare Jon's work to shit like Evanescence.

Love LOVE this band so much..The lyrics.melodies/themes...god the instruments and arrangements are just amazing...It's Rock but yet it's so much more than that...You feel like you're in a church, You feel like sex, you feel like sin and salvation...It's sounds weird i know, but i just can't describe just how much these songs from this band speak to me..I've heard nothing like them.

This song is very dark and sexy to me...Sometimes when you love someone so much, You love the pain they bring you too...I suppose there's obsession/addiction in some loves, But yeah it feels like to me the couple aren't necessarily healthy for each other but the pleasure comes with the pain which makes the relationship worth it.

"Touched, You say that I am too, So much, Of what you say is true"

"I'll never find someone quite like you, Again, I'll never find someone quite like you, Like You"

"Touched" to me is not just possibly messed up in in the head, but also marked by the other as theirs..You carve out your little space for just the two of you when you love...There's that space that's exclusive to only the two that are living that love.

When you get involved with someone, You end up sharing a part of them..If they're troubled you get caught up in it and if that love is the all consuming sort well you won't walk away from that, You'll watch the other and their issues and somehow they'll end up touching you with their madness...You might even like it cause they're giving you what you covet...Them.

"The razors and the dying roses, Plead I don't leave you alone, The demi-gods and hungry ghosts, God, god knows I'm not at home"

This sounds like co-dependency/destruction/madness to me - If you walk away from that person/relationship could you cause them to spiral further? What about you? If you stay are you just losing yourself in the madness of this love/obsession between you?

What if the one you love are a danger to themselves(cutting/suicidal/depressed) When does it get to the point when you need to leave for your own sanity at least?

"I looked into your eyes and Saw a world that does not exist, I looked into your eyes and, Saw a world I wish I was in,"

You tell yourself that you maybe can see their madness, Maybe you want to be a part of it too, It would bring you closer to them and you could understand and share their burden..It seems like the person is trying to relate to their love.

"I'll never find someone quite as touched as you I'll never love someone quite the way that I loved you."

Oh this is ominous i feel. Maybe death has come or death in the sense that this person just had enough and walked away.

But they make it clear they will never love again the way their love made them love.

So...yeah..This sounds like an unhealthy obsessive relationship where the couple are caught in a destructive loop and eventually something has to snap.

I think it's just a beautiful song altogether - the lyrics and the background music and his voice!

This is such a great song... the music is absolutely insane... I've never heard a song like this before

What an amazing song... Everything is just so perfectly combined and it flows beautifully.

this is a beautiful song. it makes you think, if you will ever find anyone. its song brings me down. how he says he looks into your eyes and say a world that doen't exist. and he wishes he was in. its like me. how i like a girl so much, but... she doesn't like me. thats the meaning of the song to me.

My more-than-friend just told me that this song makes her think of me. She had me download it, but I couldn't understand the lyrics exactly. Now I'm glad I looked them up. sigh
