Take Care of Me
Agua de Annique Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's not a thing ever so precious
Than you in my hands
You can never let me leave you
So please
Take care of me
The euphoric feel will never part with me
I spend my time in your hands
I'm as in love as I am tired
So please
Take care of me
The first verse of "Take Care of Me" by Agua de Annique talks about holding something precious in one's hand, and how nothing could be as valuable as that. The use of the word 'hush' indicates a certain level of vulnerability and fragility. The mention of not letting go suggests a need for assurance and security. The plea to take care of me reveals a sense of helplessness, where the singer is in dire need of empathy and support.
The second verse talks about experiencing something euphoric, depicted by 'hail in my hands.' This powerful feeling resonates with the singer who spends their time with their partner. The last line of the verse indicates a certain degree of exhaustion - being in love can be tiring. Again, the call to 'take care of me' shows a need for compassion to keep the love alive.
Overall, the song is an appeal for affection and understanding, with the singer revealing their vulnerability, and a desire for emotional connection on a deeper level than what the euphoric highs of love can provide.
