Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold my hand in error
Don't tell of this place
It's for me and you only
Softly , softly know me
Don't worry this face
Hold my hand in error
It's for me and you only
You give me love, you know you give me love
With your ultraviolet rays
You give me love
You give me love
Ultraviolet
The lyrics of "Ultraviolet" by FKA Twigs describe a secret and intimate relationship that is kept hidden from the rest of the world. The singer urges her partner not to worry about her face or the place where they meet, suggesting that they might have something to hide or perhaps should not be seen together publicly. The softness in her voice, combined with the repeated phrase "Hold my hand in error" suggests a certain hesitancy or vulnerability in their relationship.
However, the chorus of the song brings in a contrasting emotion with the lines "You give me love, you know you give me love/ With your ultraviolet rays/ You give me love." The use of "ultraviolet rays" here is intriguing as it invokes imagery of something powerful, unseen, and essential, like sunlight. This contrast between the lyrics of the verse and chorus suggest that the relationship may be complicated, with elements of secrecy and vulnerability, and yet powerful and loving.
Overall, "Ultraviolet" is a song about the complexity of love and relationships, and how they can be both soft and vulnerable and yet incredibly powerful and transformative.
