In Her Arms
Foxes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been dreaming over half the lies
You've been looking at me
You've been looking at me eye to eye
Take it easy
Lift your feet up off the burning ground
You don't see it
She wants to hold you in her arms
She wants to tear you away from my heart
Does she light up like a lantern to show you the way through the dark?
Does she give you what you're missing? It's more than enough where we are
In her arms
In her arms
In her arms
In her arms
You believe in me
You believe in me alone tonight
But in my empire
I am king and I own the sky
Are you sleeping?
Now the bed you made is burning down
Keep breathing
All the birds you caged are breaking out
She wants to hold you in her arms
She wants to tear you away from my heart
Does she light up like a lantern to show you the way through the dark?
Does she give you what you're missing? It's more than enough where we are
In her arms
In her arms
Let there be smoke in my eye
Stop slipping there
I see her arms open wide
I stop slipping then
She wants to hold you in her arms
She wants to tear you away from my heart
Does she light up like a lantern to show you the way through the dark?
Does she give you what you're missing? It's more than enough where we are
In her arms
In her arms
The song "In Her Arms" by Foxes discusses a love triangle between the singer, her lover, and a new woman who has caught their lover's attention. The lyrics express the singer's worries and insecurities about this new woman and her intentions with their lover. The first verse implies that the singer has been aware of the lies and deceit their lover has been telling them, while the lover has been looking them "eye to eye." In the chorus, the singer questions whether this new woman can provide the same level of love and support that they provide, as she asks whether she can light up like a lantern and lead their lover through the darkness. Finally, the last verse describes the singer's desire to stop slipping and succumbing to their fears, as they hear the call of the new woman reaching out to their lover.
Overall, the song highlights the complexity of relationships and how they can be threatened by outside forces. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with trust and self-esteem issues, unsure if they can compete with this new woman. However, there is also a sense of determination in the song, as the singer tries to overcome their doubts and fight for their relationship.

I've been dreaming over
I've been obsessing over
I've been dreaming over half the lies
I've been obsessing over the lies in our past
You've been looking at me
You've been studying me
You've been looking at me eye to eye
You've been directly confronting me
Take it easy
Relax
Lift your feet up off the burning ground
Escape from a difficult situation
You don't see it
You're not aware of it
You get so high up 'cause you don't look down
You become arrogant and self-centered because you ignore reality
She wants to hold you in her arms
She wants to possess you
She wants to tear you away from my heart
She wants to steal you from me
Does she light up like a lantern to show you the way through the dark?
Does she guide you when you're lost and confused?
Does she give you what you're missing? It's more than enough where we are
Does she fulfill your needs and desires? We have enough for ourselves
You believe in me
You trust me
You believe in me alone tonight
You only trust me tonight
But in my empire
In my world
I am king and I own the sky
I have the power and control
Are you sleeping?
Are you unaware?
Now the bed you made is burning down
Now your actions have negative consequences
Keep breathing
Stay alive
All the birds you caged are breaking out
All the things you've tried to control are escaping
Let there be smoke in my eye
I don't want to see the truth
Stop slipping there
Don't lose yourself
I see her arms open wide
I see her welcoming you
She wants to tear you away from my heart
She wants to replace me in your heart
Does she give you what you're missing? It's more than enough where we are
Does she fulfill your needs and desires? We have enough for ourselves
In her arms
In her grip/presence
In her arms
In her grip/presence
In her arms
In her grip/presence
In her arms
In her grip/presence

Hermit's Playground
I’ve been dreaming of a
I’ve been dreaming of a heart that lies
You’ve been looking at me
You’ve been looking at me
Eye to eye
Take it easy
And lift your feet up off the burning ground
And you don’t see it
You get so high because you don’t look down
She wants to hold
You in her arms
She wants to tear you away from my heart
Does she light up like a lantern to show you the way through the dark
Does she give you what you’re missing
It’s more than and not what we are
In her arms
In her arms
In her arms
In her arms
You’ve been leaving me
You’ve been leaving me alone at night
But in my empire I am king and I own the sky
While your sleeping now the bed you made is burning down
Keep breathing all the birds you caged are breaking out
She wants to hold you in her arms
She wants to tear you away from my heart
Does she light up like a lantern to show you the way through the dark
Does she give you what you’re missing
It’s more than and not what we are
In her arms
In her arms
Let there be smoke in my eyes
It stops me breathing
I see her arms open wide
It stops me breathing
She wants to hold you in her arms
She wants to tear you away from my heart
Does she light up like a lantern to show you the way through the dark
Does she give you what you’re missing
Its more than and not what we are
In her arms
In her arms

Still a masterpiece. Best song on the debut album imo.

The low Bass Hum and Bell combination is mesmerising. Turn it up loud with a good clean subwoofer, it will transport you to somewhere spiritual. My favourite Foxes song so far.
