Dead Hand
Echoes of Forgotten Dreams: Palomino Blond's 'Dead Hand' Revealed
Lyrics
Holding a dead hand of the past
Holding on to the remnants of the past
Taking a photo as to make it last
Capturing a moment in a photograph to preserve it
Seeing your name like everywhere
Feeling a constant reminder of your presence
Locking the doors up of
Securing and protecting my idealized dreams and aspirations
My castle in the air
Referring to the dreamlike place or vision I've created for myself
My castle in the air
Repetition emphasizing the significance of the metaphorical "castle in the air"
My castle in the air
-My castle in the air
-Testing my own restraint
Challenging my own self-control
Trying to concentrate
Attempting to focus and direct my attention
And then you go and pull my chain
Experiencing an unexpected disruption or disturbance, possibly from another person
Like an old satellite
Comparing the impact to that of an outdated satellite
Crashing on through the night
Describing a force breaking through the darkness of the night
This'll dissolve before our eyes
Acknowledging the transient nature of a situation
Holding a dead hand of the past
Repeating the theme of holding on to the past
Taking a photo as to make it last
Reiterating the act of preserving a moment through a photograph
Seeing your name like everywhere
Continuing to feel the pervasive presence of someone or something
Locking the doors up of
Securing and safeguarding the dreamlike place or vision
My castle in the air
Repeating the concept of fortifying the metaphorical "castle in the air"
Locking the doors up of
Emphasizing the repeated act of protecting the idealized dreams
My castle in the air
-My castle in the air
-My castle in the air
-My castle in the air
Concluding with a repetition of the importance of the metaphorical "castle in the air"
