Heart & Soul
Angels & Agony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I know you've got the tools
I'm not crying
You watch my steps
My every move
Because you're looking for some proof
I live my days without control
Feelings sometimes draw me back
To when my life was right on track
From my heart into my soul
I live my days without a goal
I wish the end was coming near
And everything would be so clear
Consider your thoughts, so impure
You won't succeed, that's for sure
You stand there lying
You cannot win, don't you see
That you're losing over me?
I feel you near me
So near me
The lyrics of "Heart & Soul" by Angels & Agony seem to depict a relationship where one person is submissive to the other. The first lines "I play the game by your rules" show that the person is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the other person happy. They are aware that the other person has the upper hand ("Because I know you've got the tools"), hence they will not revolt against them even if they do not particularly agree with their decisions. The lines "My every move, Because you're looking for some proof" further emphasize that the other person needs constant reassurance that the submissive person is loyal to them.
The second half of the song portrays the submissive person's inner struggle. They want to live their life on their own terms, without any restrictions or control, but they cannot do so because of the other person's demands. The lines "From my heart into my soul, I live my days without control" show that they feel trapped and suffocated. At times, they long for their past life before they were caught in this cycle of obedience ("Feelings sometimes draw me back, To when my life was right on track"). The last lines of the song ("I feel you near me, So near me") could signify that the submissive person knows that they cannot break free from this cycle and are resigned to their fate.
