From the "It's impossible" song
There are lines in the song:

"Can I hold you closer to me
And not feel you going through me?"

I guess they doesn't mean "I'm afraid I could press you into my guts", but then what else?

Answer

Hi Anton, like with most song lyrics, I doubt the songwriter meant these words literally. Taken figuratively or poetically then, "going through me" could mean merging with another spiritually or emotionally or becoming overwhelmed by the intimate presence of another. Hope that helps.
