Last week, FKA Twigs shared CAPRISONGS – a 17-track album that sees her collaborate with the likes of Pa Salieu, The Weeknd, Solo, Shygirl, Dystopia, Rema, Daniel Caesar, Jorja Smith, and Unknown T.
Following all that she’s been through over the last few years, Twigs has been hard at work on healing, and the themes of her journey come through obviously in her new body of work, which features plenty of moody, electronic beats and introspective lyricism from the English songstress herself.
One of our personal favourites is CAPRISONGS’ third title, “meta angel,” which finds the MAGDALENE hitmaker confessing that she wishes she had “help from a deeper force/some kind of meta angel,” who can “whisper all the answers she needs” and help her figure out how to make life slow down. “I don’t think that I’ll make it on my own,” she sings at the end of the verse.
FKA Twigs – meta angel (prod. El Guincho & Teo Halm)

[Spoken]
Each year I’m like, ah, I’m gonna own my shit, and then each year I’m still so shy and so quiet
No, but like
This is the year (Yeah, girl)
This is the year of greatness, bruv, and bein’ free, I’m telling you
No, I wanna be more confident, I really do
I really do. You’re just like—
The universe, right? The universe is so powerful. You’re gonna be more free and you’re gonna laugh more and you’re gonna have more fun
Do you think so?
And I’m tell— no, I don’t think so, I know so
[Verse 1]
I wish I had help from a deeper force
Some kind of meta angel
Then they could whisper all the answers
And maybe life would just slow down
I don’t think that I’ll make it on my own
[Chorus]
I’ve got voices in my head
(In my, in my, in my, in my, in my)
Tellin’ me that I won’t make it far
(In my, in my, in my, in my, in my, in, in my, in my)
Mirrors singin’ in my face
(In my, in my, in my, in my, in my, in my)
Where’d you go? Where’d you go?
(In my, in my, in my, in my, in my, in my, in my)
[Post-Chorus]
Throw in the fire
Ego in the fire
I’ve got a love for desire
I’ve got a pain for desire (I need a meta angel)
But when I’m winning, I’m a flier
Soprano in the choir
I’ve got a love for desire
It gets higher and higher (Some kind of meta angel)
[Verse 2]
That makes it sounds so easy
A pretty picture with a quote
I get confused with what I really want
[Chorus]
I’ve got voices in my head
(In my, in my, in my, in my, in my)
Tellin’ me that I won’t make it far
(In my, in my, in my, in my, in my, in, in my, in my)
Mother’s callin’ every night
(In my, in my, in my, in my, in my, in my)
Where’d you go? Where’d you go?
(In my, in my, in my, in my, in my, in my, in my)
[Post-Chorus]
Throw in the fire
Ego in the fire
I’ve got a love for desire
I’ve got a pain for desire (I need a meta angel)
But when I’m winning, I’m a flier
Soprano in the choir (Soprano in the choir)
I’ve got a love for desire
It gets higher and higher (Some kind of meta angel)
[Outro]
I, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(In my, in my, in my, in my, in my)
I’ve got voices in my head
(In my, in my, in my, in my, in my)
I’ve got voices in my head
(In my, in my, in my, in my, in my, in my, in my, in my, in my, in my)
