Wrong Hand
Dancing with Shadows: Unraveling the Hidden Meanings in Jessica Pratt's 'Wrong Hand'
Lyrics
So you're running 'round the world
Expresses the idea of someone moving or traveling around the world.
With your head above the ground
Metaphorically suggests maintaining a sense of balance or stability despite the constant movement.
And you're dancing too close behind
Implies following closely or being intimately involved with someone who conceals their true feelings or identity.
To the darling in a hidden shroud
Refers to someone special or beloved who is hiding their true self or emotions.
And you don't know how you got here before
Indicates confusion about how one ended up in a certain situation compared to a past state or circumstance.
You were dancing with the wrong hand
Suggests making a mistake or being unsuccessful in a situation, possibly in a romantic context.
Wandering in dreams I had before
Alludes to aimlessly moving through thoughts or memories that were previously imagined or experienced.
And they play in my mind
Memories or thoughts recurring in the person's mind.
I see you standing wasted alone
Visualizing the person one cares about being in a vulnerable or distressed state.
In my mind, in my mind
Repeated emphasis on the presence of these thoughts or visions in one's mind.
So you're running 'round the world
Reiteration of the individual moving around the world, echoing line #1.
With your head above the ground
Similar to line #2, suggesting a parallel action of maintaining balance or stability.
And you're dancing too close behind
Continuation of following closely or being involved with someone who hides their true self.
To the darling in a hidden shroud
Repeats the concept of someone beloved concealing their true feelings or identity.
And you don't know how you got here before
Reiterates the confusion or lack of understanding about the present situation compared to the past.
You were dancing with the wrong hand
Repeats the notion of making a mistake or being unsuccessful, possibly in a romantic context.
Wandering in dreams I had before
Recurrence of aimlessly wandering through thoughts or memories from the past.
And they play in my mind
Repeated occurrence of memories or thoughts resurfacing in one's mind.
I see you standing wasted alone
Reiteration of visualizing the person one cares about in a vulnerable or distressed state.
In my mind, in my mind
Emphasizes the continued presence of these thoughts or visions in one's mind.
