Two Hands Lyrics

You somehow let me down
Both hands
And a gentleman
You could not take me through
New plans
Tell me whose
New friends
I can make some too
I know

You somehow took me in
Both arms
The marked-up skin
Two hands
Places you have been
That I needed

And the more that we try
To figure through the answers
To repeat ourselves
To deny, deny

Now you call my bluff
All clear
And you get so rough
Stone-faced in the light
The air
And the jagged bite
Cold air
The wisdom of the night
Between us


And the more that we try
To figure through the answers
To repeat ourselves
To deny, deny
To deny, deny, deny

Somehow we exist
In the folds
And now we'll kiss
Both hands
The mystery before us
She's reaching

But I could not take you through
New plans
I'll tell you
New friends
You can make some too
I know

What is the Meaning of Two Hands?

This poignant track dives deep into the complexities of a relationship, exploring themes of disappointment, denial, and ultimately acceptance. The lyrics seem to tell a story of a tumultuous bond where one person has let the other down. The repeated lines about 'new plans' and 'new friends' may signify attempts to move on or change. However, the song also touches on the inevitability of facing issues instead of denying them. It suggests that despite the rough patches, there's still a sense of unity ("Somehow we exist in the folds"). The phrase 'two hands' could symbolize shared experiences or mutual responsibility in their relationship's journey. Ultimately, it's a raw and honest portrayal of navigating through life's ups and downs with someone else.
