All Hands Against His Own
Navigating Desolation: The Black Keys' Tale of Isolation and Lost Connections
Lyrics
Found all hands against his own
Encountered opposition or resistance from everyone around him
Found all eyes looking down
Observed disapproval or judgment from others
And the sun had left and gone
Experienced a departure or loss, possibly of a positive influence
All his friends could not be found
Unable to find support from his friends in a difficult situation
Don't talk about,
Advising against discussing or dwelling on a particular topic
Don't think about love
Discouraging thoughts or discussions about love
She's not the one
Suggesting that a particular person is not the ideal romantic partner
You've been dreamin' of
Implying that the person one dreams of is not the one being referred to
Don't talk about it,
Reiterating the avoidance of discussing a certain topic
Can't live without
Expressing an inability to live without something
You say you're alone
Stating the condition of being alone
He found all hands against his own
Reiterating the theme of facing opposition from others
He found the sky
Describing a change in the sky's appearance
It turned to grey
Depicting a transformation of the sky into a dull color
And the clouds start rollin' in
Referring to the onset of a gloomy atmosphere with the arrival of clouds
Got no use for what they say
Rejecting the value or relevance of what others say
Got no use for where they been
Dismissing the significance of others' experiences or history
He found all hands against his own
Repeating the theme of facing opposition from others
And no light from up above
Describing a lack of guidance or positive influence from above
Just a dark and lonely road
Depicting a journey on a dark and lonely path
He found all hands against his own
Reiterating the theme of facing opposition from others
