Twist in my sobriety

Does any native speaker happen to know this popular song by Tanita Tikaram? I love it! I can't get, though, the meaning of the lyrics in bold:

from my hands you know you'll never be
more than twist in my sobriety

I've given it several interpretations so far, most of which are vague. I perceive twist as a change in mood, but still I can't get the whole meaning.

”...you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety.” –
– you will never become
More than just a moment that clouded up my mind.
