A friend once quoted Benjamine Disrele, who said that "the magic of first love is our ignorance that it can ever end". After that, it's one failed attempt after another to open up and trust without fearing the fall which I, at least, have not ever achieved, and which I feel the person in "Touch" can't seem to achieve either. Perhaps why he has the image of him and his first love glowing, dripping light, and why he feels unable to break away from doubt and sadness.
I love the way that first and last words of the muttered part of the song coincide with the part that's sung.
