The Works Of My Hands
J.E. Sunde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walls around built so high
Now they’re all falling down
Couldn’t put up a fight
You came out of nowhere
All it took was one touch, you gave me life
I’ll follow you in the dark
I can feel my pulse beat faster
Will this be love or a disaster
Tell me now, I guess right now or does matter
It’s outta my hands
I can't control it
Fate left me helpless
Now I’ll surrender
Its out of my hands, out of my hands
Tried running from you
But I ran back to where I found you
Its outta of my hands, out of hands hands
Like a puzzle piece
You fit the shape of my heart
We’re standing in a maze
You’re the end and the start
I can feel my pulse beat faster
Will this be love or a disaster
Tell me now, I guess right now or does matter
It’s outta my hands
I can't control it
Fate left me helpless
Now I’ll surrender
Its out of my hands, out of my hands
The song "The Works Of My Hands" by J.E. Sunde is about surrendering to fate and giving in to love. The first verse describes how the singer tried to put up walls and resist love, but they all fell down easily with just one touch from the person they are in love with. The singer then confesses to following this person blindly, even if it means losing their way. The idea of surrendering to fate is repeated in the chorus where the singer acknowledges that they cannot control the situation, and whether it leads to love or disaster is out of their hands.
The second verse uses the metaphor of a puzzle piece to describe how the singer and their love interest fit together perfectly, as if they were meant to be. Despite being in a maze or confusion, the love interest is both the beginning and the end of the journey. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the idea of surrendering to fate and letting go of control.
The song is both romantic and melancholic, as the singer is unsure whether their love will lead to happiness or heartbreak, but they are willing to take the risk and surrender to fate. This song may resonate with anyone who has felt helpless in matters of the heart.

Up in a castle
I felt safe and secure in my own world
Walls around built so high
Where I lived, my defenses were impenetrable
Now they’re all falling down
Suddenly my defenses are coming apart
Couldn’t put up a fight
I'm weak and not able to resist what’s happening
You came out of nowhere
You appeared out of the blue and changed everything
All it took was one touch, you gave me life
Your mere presence breathed life into me and made me feel alive
I’ll follow you in the dark
I'm willing to take risks and trust you even in the dark times
A blindfold tied around my heart
Even though I'm blinded by love, I'm still willing to trust you
I can feel my pulse beat faster
I'm excited and nervous about what’s happening
Will this be love or a disaster
I'm not sure if my feelings will result in love or failure
Tell me now, I guess right now or does matter
I'm seeking clarity and certainty about my feelings now
It’s outta my hands
I can't control or manipulate what’s going to happen
I can't control it
My feelings and the situation are beyond my control
Fate left me helpless
I'm resigned that destiny has played a hand in everything that’s happening
Now I’ll surrender
I'm giving in and letting go of trying to take control
Tried running from you
I attempted to escape from my feelings and from you
But I ran back to where I found you
Yet, in the end, I came back to where it all started
Like a puzzle piece
You fit perfectly into the picture of my life
You fit the shape of my heart
You complement me and make my heart whole
We’re standing in a maze
Our future is uncertain and unclear
You’re the end and the start
You're both the cause and effect of all that has happened and will happen
