In Your Hands
Tobias Regner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Empty as a shell in the sand
Waiting for you
Disappearing
Losing everything
That I am
Here without you
Has time been broken
I need to find you
Breathe you in
Breathe in your life
In your hands
I can feel your love surround me
With a touch, I am reborn
Once again
When you're fingers wrap around me
Then I know my heart belongs
In your hands
I am drifting
Falling in and out of a dream
When will I wake
All my senses
Feel like they've been torn at the seams
Scared I will break
My world is haunted
Your spirit lingers on me
I pray you'll find me
Hurry, please
I have waited so long
All of me misses all of you
Every part I need to make me whole
All I want is to be with you
And to know you'll never let me go
Don't let go
These lyrics capture a sense of vulnerability, loss and desperation for the presence of someone who represents love, refuge and belonging. The opening lines convey a feeling of exposure and fragility, as the singer exemplifies the image of an empty shell in the sand, waiting for the fulfillment that only the presence of the beloved can provide. The verses develop this yearning, with a sense of urgency and hopelessness added to the mix. The singer feels incomplete and exposed, as if everything that makes him who he is, is being taken away from him. In this context, the appearance of the beloved becomes a crucial moment for survival, a chance for rebirth, and a return to an essential sense of self.
The chorus presents this idea of rebirth and salvation through the physicality of touch, as the singer's emotions are heightened by the physical contact with the person he values so much. The image of having the love of another person wrapped around oneself is a powerful metaphor for the transformative ability of love. Even in the darkest moments of doubt and fear, the simple touch of someone who cares is enough to bring a person back to life. The singer recognizes how vital this person is to his well-being, declaring that my heart belongs in your hands. The feeling of ownership that we usually associate with possessive behavior is quite different here. In the context of the song, the singer has found a place of safety, where he can give himself entirely to another person without fear of rejection.
