Hand in Hand
Embracing the Unseen: Navigating Life Hand in Hand with Beatsteaks
Lyrics
She follows me down to where I go
Someone (possibly a partner or companion) accompanies the speaker wherever they go.
She comes in a cloud but she don't know
Despite being present, the person doesn't fully understand the situation or the speaker.
She walks in a haze
The person seems confused or disoriented, lacking clarity in their actions or thoughts.
Do we get up before it ever gets too late
Questioning whether they take action in time before it's too late to rectify a situation.
Hand in hand we walk on down
The speaker and the person are together, facing challenges and moving forward.
The alley and our common ground
They share a familiar place or understanding, finding comfort in their shared experiences.
We walk in a haze
Similar to line 3, both the speaker and the person seem lost or unaware of their surroundings.
Do we pass out before we ever know it's on?
Questioning whether they lose consciousness or awareness before realizing what's happening.
She ain't never gonna get wise
Reiteration that the person won't gain understanding or insight into the situation.
She ain't never gonna get wise
-She ain't never gonna get wise
-And I feel better with my hands tied
The speaker feels more comfortable or at ease when restricted or constrained.
(Ahu!)
A vocalized expression (Ahu!) possibly indicating emotion or emphasis.
She ain't never gonna get wise
Repeating the idea that the person won't gain wisdom or understanding.
She ain't never gonna get wise
-She ain't never gonna get wise
-And I feel better with my hands tied
-She follows me down to where I go
Reiteration that the person follows the speaker, but without exerting control or pressure.
Not pulling a chain, not feeling low
The person doesn't manipulate or influence the speaker negatively.
Don't wake me up, I can't relate to any other song today
Desire to stay in a state where the speaker can't connect or relate to anything else.
Hand in hand we walk along
Continuation of moving forward together in a shared environment.
The alley and our common ground
Reiteration of their common ground and shared experiences.
I walk in a haze, why should I care?
The speaker feels detached or apathetic towards caring about their surroundings.
I'm waiting out the days go anywhere
The speaker is passively waiting for time to pass without direction or purpose.
Oh
An exclamation or expression (Oh) indicating an emotional or emphatic response.
She ain't never gonna get wise
Reiteration that the person won't gain wisdom or understanding, and the speaker feels better in a constrained state.
She ain't never gonna get wise
-She ain't never gonna get wise
-And I feel better with my hands tied
-She ain't never gonna get wise
Repeated assertion that the person won't gain insight or wisdom, and the speaker finds comfort in being constrained.
She ain't never gonna get wise
-She ain't never gonna get wise
-And I feel better with my hands tied
