Indigo Girls – Touch Me Fall

  General Comment:Its such a beautiful song... I think the chorus "Touch me, I'm so beautiful" could be related a number of ways. Personally, I see it as saying, "Why won't anybody come around me? Why don't people love me? I'm ok aren't I? Are they hiding?" And sort of to say that now that I've fixed my problems, they said love would come to me (Emily song) so I did and there's still nothing! Its distressing anyway...
  
  It might MIGHT be a song about Self Harm... Blood and Fire, Keeper of my Heart, and Covered for You all pretty much straight up say that Amy used to deal with that.
  
  Thoughts?

  General Comment:I don't know about losing your virginity to this song, but it seems like the right song to commit suicide to. I don't think it is about sex.

  General Comment:Music Lover is right about the Hamlet reference. Ophelia was driven mad because after professing his love for her Hamlet became distant to protect himself, causing the great heartache of indifference. Notice the many refenrences to water in this song; Ophelia drown herself in a river.

  General Comment:I've always thought this song was about being mentally ill. Mainly because it is so all over the place and so are the lyrics...they are just little snippets that don't directly relate to each other. And then it's on the Swamp Ophelia CD (and as you may know Ophelia was Hamlet's girlfriend and she was insane and committed suicide) So...that's what has always just come to mind when i hear it. I might be way off on that.
  
  It is an awesome song though...no doubt.

  General Comment:Umm...I guess I always thought it was about making love. The lyrics are pretty suggestive, and if you listen to the song it starts slow, builds, builds, and then kind of climaxes, and then abruptly ends. See what I'm getting at? Yeah....
