Me And My Charms Lyrics

Cover art for Me And My Charms lyrics by Kristin Hersh

I thought it was about her husband leaving her for another woman. She loves him and doesn't want him to leave her. All of the things that he loved about her before, her charms, don't work on him anymore.

Her and her husband have a child together, hence, "When I kiss the angel, I have a taste of you. When I take the angel, I have a piece of you." The angel is their child, a piece of both of them. I am guessing they have joint custody.

When she says "I have a piece of you. I have a piece," I think the last line could also be heard as "I have a peace." Of course, you can't write lyrics that way (using homonyms), but I think it's an interesting interpretation. She has a piece (of him) and she has a peace when she takes her child back from him.
