Maybe it could mean ....she was touching her face out of worry. Like, something goes terribly wrong - - -
Example: when u put your hand over your mouth and gasp-- oh no, kind of moment?? That is what i've always imagined.

@IbbyVK I visualise someone brushing away tears, but trying to be subtle about it.
People who are that depressed, enough to be seriously contemplating suicide -- well, there are things you might see, but sometimes you have to be looking carefully, because they often try to hide it. In the '90s this was even more the case, because although the stigma is still out there, it was much worse then.

@IbbyVK This is the most legit source I’ve found on this:
americansongwriter.com/the-freshman-by-the-verve-pipe-behind-the-song/
In here Brian Vander Ark is quoted as saying this about this line:
Then the “She was touching her face” came right after that on MTV. Like I said, it was on in the corner, and it was the Divinyls video for, “I Touch Myself.” She was laying back, touching her face. It makes it sexy. And I was like, “Oh my god, this totally fits in this puzzle piece here.” And it doesn’t really mean anything according to the song but, of course, that’s one of the most quoted lines...

And I got it right in that song. So, those were the two last puzzle pieces. Then I remember I got so excited about it that I had a show a couple nights later and I played this song before I was ready to play it. I didn’t have it memorized enough and I messed up all the words. But I got the “she was touching her face” and the “for the life for me” and at the end of the song, I had so many people come up and say, “What was that song about her touching her face.” So, I knew then that I had something here. From there, it just took off.
She was touching her face? Anyone? ? It's the last line that I don't get.
@IbbyVK Sometimes women drag a finger down their lip seductively and somehow it works. I don't understand why or how.
