Hands Up
R O A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That life we were living was a ten 'til then
We already had love, we already had faith
But it turns out we need a little bit of space
So between the two of us the world was divided
You went for schooling and I went for the highway
But silent nights and missing pieces
I got my two hands up, I surrender
Come and lock me up here forever
'Cause I need your love, just remember
You make me feel like I can surrender
Two hands up at your service
The beat of my heart is making me nervous
Give you all of my love now and forever
You make me feel like I can surrender
I got that white flag waving
Baby come save me
I'm ready for love in my heart
I mean I'm here for the taking
I won't be escaping
There's no need to sound the alarm
I got my two hands up, I surrender
Come and lock me up here forever
'Cause I need your love, just remember
You make me feel like I can surrender
Two hands up at your service
The beat of my heart is making me nervous
Give you all of my love now and forever
You make me feel like I can surrender
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always gonna stay around
You have my heart
I'm never gonna let you down
I'm always gonna stay around
You have my heart
I got my two hands up, I surrender
Come and lock me up here forever
'Cause I need your love, just remember
You make me feel like I can surrender
Two hands up at your service
The beat of my heart is making me nervous
Give you all of my love now and forever
You make me feel like I can surrender
I got my two hands up
I got my two hands up
You make me feel like
You make me feel like
I can surrender
Oh I'm pleading, I'm waiting, I'm leaving
Yeah, I surrender
The lyrics of R O A's song Hands UP speak of two individuals who once shared a love that was strong, but eventually drifted apart due to separate pursuits in life. The verses illustrate how they once planned out their future together, only to realize that they needed space to grow individually. Despite this decision, the singer cannot help but feel the weight of their separation on their heart, admitting that the missing pieces of their past relationship weigh heavily on them. This is most evident in the line, "But silent nights and missing pieces Weighed heavier than ever on my heart."
The chorus expresses the singer's vulnerability and surrender, asking their past lover to come back to them. They wave a white flag, saying "I got my two hands up, I surrender. Come and lock me up here forever 'Cause I need your love, just remember You make me feel like I can surrender." The emphasis is on the healing power of love that their past lover has, making them feel as though they can give themselves up entirely – hence the surrender.
The third verse emphasizes the singer's commitment to this love, saying that they will never let their past lover down and will always stay around. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the line "Oh I'm pleading, I'm waiting, I'm leaving, Yeah, I surrender," reflecting the singer's vulnerability and desire to surrender themselves to love.
Overall, the song speaks to the universal theme of love, how it can be both the source of great joy and heartbreak, but ultimately, the singer chooses to surrender themselves to love as they recognize that it's worth fighting for.
Line by Line Meaning
Way back when we used to plan and pretend
In the past, we would make fake plans for our lives
That life we were living was a ten 'til then
We thought our lives were perfect before
We already had love, we already had faith
We had already felt love and believed in faith
But it turns out we need a little bit of space
However, we realized that we needed some distance
So between the two of us the world was divided
We decided to pursue different paths
You went for schooling and I went for the highway
You went for education and I went for adventure
But silent nights and missing pieces
Despite this, I still felt lonely at times
Weighed heavier than ever on my heart
And the weight of it all became too much for me
I got my two hands up, I surrender
I'm giving up and giving in
Come and lock me up here forever
I want to stay with you always
'Cause I need your love, just remember
I need your love and want you to know it
You make me feel like I can surrender
Being with you makes it easy for me to give in and trust you
Two hands up at your service
I'm here for you completely
The beat of my heart is making me nervous
Being near you makes my heart race
Give you all of my love now and forever
I'm giving you all of myself forever
I got that white flag waving
I'm giving up and surrendering
Baby come save me
I need you to rescue me
I'm ready for love in my heart
I'm open to love and want it in my life
I mean I'm here for the taking
I'm ready for you to take me and love me
I won't be escaping
I'm not going anywhere
There's no need to sound the alarm
You don't need to worry about me leaving
I'm never gonna let you down
I'll never disappoint or abandon you
I'm always gonna stay around
I'll always be here for you
You have my heart
You own my heart
Oh I'm pleading, I'm waiting, I'm leaving
I'm desperate, patient and willing to go
Yeah, I surrender
I give up and trust you completely
