Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To hold you down
Yours and mine
Life is amazing
You′re amazing
Amazing, amazing
Two hands
Don′t you ever die
Life is amazing
You're amazing
Amazing, amazing
Weren't we sad from the start?
Black earth runs inside my heart
Runs deep inside you
Run into the flame
These lyrics from White Ring's song Hands 2 Hold You Down tell a story of two people being in love and gripping onto each other tightly, never wanting to let go. The opening line, "Two hands to hold you down," has a bit of a negative connotation at first glance, as the word "down" suggests force, but as the song continues, it becomes apparent that the hands are meant to protect and anchor, rather than harm. The repetition of the phrase "life is amazing, you're amazing" emphasizes the overwhelming feeling of love and admiration that the singer has for their partner.
The following lines, "Weren't we sad from the start? Black earth runs inside my heart," suggest that the couple has been through tough times and experienced pain in the past. This is contrasted by the next line, "Runs deep inside you," indicating that the partner has also experienced similar hardships. The final line, "Run into the flame," could be interpreted in a few different ways, but it likely means that the couple is willing to face any challenges or obstacles together, even if it means risking getting hurt.
