Can't Hold Us
M.C. Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your feet on the ground
We only fight on holidays
And anniversaries
Stood at the edge of the water tonight
And I cursed your skyline, your skyline
The hudson in record time
I liked you better when you were you
Not who you are turning into
Tie a string around my finger to remind me to love you
And when im a country away, ill be thinking of you
And years from now when I'm sharing a bed with a body
At least I'll pretend that it's you
Remember shy likeful girl
Naive to the world
The lyrics of M.C. Joe's song Can't Hold Us talks about an individual's love for their significant other. The song beautifully describes how angels are supposed to be perfect and had a role as protectors. However, the person acknowledges the fact that their partner is more special and precious to them than anything else. Although angels are known to be sent by heaven to work their miracles and to bless people, the singer believes that they can't compare to the love and genuine affection of their loved one.
The line "There's an aura, a kind of emanating light" portrays how people view angels as perfect beings while "suggesting perfection that may very well be true." However, despite all of their angelic qualities, the singer still believes that their partner is exceptional and unique. The acknowledgment of their partner's true value is emphasized in the line "But they can't hold a halo to you," which conveys the message that the love shared between two people is far more significant than anyone else's or anything else.
Overall, the song, Can't Hold Us, by M.C. Joe, is a beautiful tribute to the power of love, emphasizing the fact that the pure and genuine love we share with our loved ones is more valuable than anything else.
Line by Line Meaning
In all the pictures that I've seen
From what I have observed in pictures
Of how angels are supposed to be
Based on the expected portrayal of angels
There's an aura, a kind of emanating light
Angels possess a radiant aura and glowing light
Suggesting perfection that may very well be true
The idea that angels are perfect may hold some merit
But they can't hold a halo to you
Despite angelic qualities, they don't compare to the person being addressed
Their role as protector is what God made them for
Angels were created by God to be protectors
And I take comfort in knowing they're around
The presence of angels provides a sense of comfort
I don't mean to sound ungrateful or diminish what they do
There is no intent to offend or lessen the role of angels
By their very nature they must be heaven sent
Angels are inherently divine and come from heaven
Here to work their miracles, to wonder and to bless
Angels are responsible for performing miracles and blessing others
I pray the Lord forgives me 'cause when you touched me that's when I knew
The realization that the person being addressed is superior to angels came from a personal experience and is asking for forgiveness for that realization
That they can't hold a halo to you.
In comparison, angels can't match the person being addressed
