Hands Off
Navigating Life's Ghost Town: Bettie Serveert's Hands Off
Lyrics
This is just a ghost town posing as a city
This city appears empty and devoid of life, lacking genuine substance.
It?s like a dead-end street, we've gotta move right now
It feels like a dead-end situation, urging immediate action or change.
Then you come running in, looking so pretty
Your arrival is welcomed, appearing attractive and appealing.
I'm so glad you made it, can we leave right now?
Expressing joy at your presence and a desire to depart together.
We want a world in a mobile home
Desire for a portable lifestyle, staying connected despite constant movement.
We'll stay connected by a cellular phone
Remaining in touch using technology like cell phones while on the move.
So many out there, living a lie
Many people live falsely or inauthentically.
If death is a toll, we?ll just tamper with life
Choosing to manipulate life rather than succumb to death's toll.
At least that's what you wanted
Indicating desires or intentions previously expressed.
At least that's what you said
Confirming that these desires were indeed communicated.
You had to have right now
Insistence on having something immediately.
And now that we are on it
Now that the situation is underway, can we seize the opportunity?
Can we seize the moment?
Asking not to be disappointed or let down.
Don't let me down
Requesting not to be disappointed.
It?s kinda rough but it?s enough
Despite difficulties, the current situation is sufficient or acceptable.
People always kill the things they love
People tend to destroy the things they love.
Let's make a sign that says, "Hands Off"
Suggesting the creation of a sign requesting respect or non-interference.
This is just a ghost town posing as a city
Reiteration of the earlier comparison of the city to a ghost town.
Hotdogs and sodas and we're on our way
Preparing to depart with simple pleasures like hotdogs and sodas.
The music?s blaring out now
The music is loud, seeking a reduction in volume.
Could you please just turn it down now?
A request to lower the volume to facilitate rest.
I can sleep all day
Expressing a desire to sleep during the day.
Yes, I had a drink last night
Admitting to consuming alcohol the previous night.
I haven't slept a wink last night
Not having slept at all the previous night.
I don't regret a thing, that's right
No regrets about the actions taken.
This is intense, lower your fences
Requesting to intensify the experience by removing barriers or limitations.
And just let it ride, taillights that fade in the night
Letting things progress freely, following lights fading in the night.
You'll be fine, just watch that sign
Encouragement to stay on the right path despite challenges.
Bear to the right, flashing blue neon lights
Advising to follow the direction indicated by flashing blue neon lights.
Oh, oh, oh, hands off
Reiteration of the desire for non-interference or respect.
let's make a sign that says, "Hands Off"
Restating the idea of creating a sign for non-interference.
