These Hands
Redemption's Blueprint: These Hands Unveil the Promised Land
Lyrics
The first time the devil made me do it
The first instance when external influences (represented by "the devil") compelled me to take a certain action.
The next time I did it on my own
In subsequent occurrences, I acted independently, without external influence.
I woke up down by the river
I found myself awakening near a river, symbolizing a state of confusion or loss, with no clear path back home.
With no way back home
There is no apparent route to return to a familiar or comfortable place.
But if I ever use these hands I'd build the promised land
If I were to use my capabilities constructively ("these hands"), I would create an ideal, promised place.
Keep the door wide open just for fun
I would willingly keep opportunities open for others, perhaps for the sheer enjoyment of it.
And if they ever find me I'd lock the doors behind me
If discovered or pursued, I would deliberately secure myself away from others.
Prove to you I'm not the chosen one
To dispel any notion of being special or chosen, I would demonstrate that I am not unique or favored.
I don't think there's anyone who wants me
I doubt there is anyone who desires or values my presence.
I met a man I'd already known
I encountered a person I already knew, possibly implying familiarity or a lack of novelty in relationships.
He said don't you know the grass is greener
Someone suggested that there are better opportunities or situations elsewhere ("the grass is greener").
And I sink just like a rolling stone
I feel like I am sinking, akin to a rolling stone, suggesting instability or a lack of control.
But if I ever use these hands I'd build the promised land
If I were to utilize my abilities, I would create a promised and positive environment.
Keep the door wide open just for fun
I would keep possibilities open for enjoyment.
And if they ever find me I'd lock the doors behind me
If pursued or caught, I would isolate myself intentionally.
Prove to you I'm not the chosen one
To dispel the idea of being special, I would prove that I am not the chosen one.
The chosen one
Reiteration of not being the chosen one.
Oh, I'd prove to you I'm not the chosen one
Emphasizing the determination to prove that I am not the chosen one.
If I ever use these hands I'd build the promised land
If I were to use my capabilities positively, I would create an ideal place.
Keep the door wide open just for fun
I would keep opportunities open for the joy of it.
And if they ever find me I'd lock the doors behind me
If discovered, I would deliberately isolate myself to demonstrate I am not special.
Prove to you I'm not the chosen one
To confirm that I am not unique or favored, I would prove I am not the chosen one.
You followed me this far on faith and shooting stars
You, the listener, have followed me based on faith and ephemeral hopes.
It's only fair that I let you down
It's fair that I disappoint you; the face seen before implies familiarity with disappointment.
I've seen that face before and I won't face it anymore
I recognize a familiar face, and I choose not to confront or deal with it any longer.
I'm leaving now and I won't make a sound
I am leaving silently, without making any noise or drawing attention.
Make a sound
Reiteration of leaving without making a sound, emphasizing a quiet departure.
Oh, I'm leaving now and I won't make a sound
-Make a sound
-Make a sound
-Make a sound
-Oh, I'm leaving now and I won't make a sound
-Make a sound
-Make a sound
-Make a sound
-Oh, I'm leaving now and I won't make a
Final affirmation of leaving without creating any disturbance.
