Hands
Miss Angie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't go back
'Cause with you I am dead
I can't go back
I won't go back
'Cause with you I am trash
In your hands
I die to what I am [Repeat: x 2]
I can't go back
I won't go back
'Cause with You I can live
I can't go back
I won't go back
'Cause with You I don't lack
In your hands
In your hands
I die to what I am [Repeat: x 2]
My life is hidden now
My life is hidden now [Repeat: x 2]
In your hands
In your hands
I die to what I am
The lyrics of Miss Angie's song "Hands" are a reflection of the internal turmoil faced by the singer. The lines "I can't go back, I won't go back, 'cause with you I am dead" and "In your hands, I die to what I am" indicate a sense of hopelessness and a desire to escape a situation that is causing the singer pain. It seems that the singer has been trapped in a relationship that is emotionally suffocating and is now seeking a way out.
However, a glimmer of hope is presented in the second half of the song. The singer acknowledges that she can't go back but this time, it's for a different reason - "Cause with You I can live, Cause with You I don't lack". Clearly, the singer has found a new source of strength and support. The repeated lines "In your hands, I die to what I am" suggest that the singer now feels protected and safe enough to let go of her old self and begin anew.
Overall, the song "Hands" is a powerful metaphor for the transformative power of love and faith. The lyrics speak to the human desire to escape pain and find a sense of purpose and belonging. The song suggests that even when things seem hopeless, there is always a way out - as long as we are willing to place our trust in something greater than ourselves.

I love miss Angie. I think she was so advance for the 90`S. Her music had tech a sounds from a decade ahead. She is so good artist and performance. Sorry for my English. Im from Venezuela. God bless you my sister in Jesuscrist.

I have owned this CD like 5 times and it always gets stolen, believe it or not. It's impossible to find it anymore. Such a great record from start to finish.

Hey! I love Miss Angie! Was wondering if you had the song "100 Million Eyeballs" and could post it on YouTube?! I can't find it anywhere since it is an old song, but a very good one tho!
