Ruby Hands
Embracing Love's Thaw: The Story Within Ruby Hands
Lyrics
My hands turn numb when you're around
Feeling a physical sensation of numbness in the hands when the person addressed is present.
There's nothing in my mind that stops me wanting you
Expressing a strong desire for the person, with no mental barriers preventing the attraction.
And I just want to twist and shout
Desire to express joy and excitement, possibly in a carefree manner.
And there is nothing you can say to stop me
Determination to pursue the attraction despite any objections or discouragement.
Now when the ice starts to melt
Metaphorically referring to a thawing or warming of emotions or barriers.
I just pretend I'm someone else
Engaging in a form of escapism by pretending to be someone else when confronted with emotional challenges.
Your honeyed words taste so sweet
Complimenting the sweetness of the person's words or expressions.
Well I wish I knew just what to say
Expressing a desire for better communication skills in response to the sweetness received.
My love you're a brighter way
Describing the person as a positive influence or a source of brightness in the speaker's life.
Flowers are growing out in the sand
Symbolic imagery of growth and life in a challenging environment (sand).
And into my cold Ruby Hands
Connecting the growth of flowers to the speaker's cold hands, possibly suggesting warmth and life entering a previously cold state.
My hands turn numb when you're around
Repetition of earlier sentiments, reinforcing the themes of desire, escapism, sweet words, and positive influence.
There's nothing in my mind that stops me wanting you
-And I just want to twist and shout
-And there is nothing you can say to stop me
-Now when the ice starts to melt
-I just pretend I'm someone else
-Your honeyed words taste so sweet
-Well I wish I knew just what to say
-My love you're a brighter way
-Flowers are growing out in the sand
-And into my cold Ruby Hands
-My hands turn numb when you're around
-There's nothing in my mind that stops me wanting you
-And I just want to twist and shout
-And there is nothing you can say to stop me
-Now when the ice starts to melt
-I just pretend I'm someone else
-Your honeyed words taste so sweet
-Well I wish I knew just what to say
-My love you're a brighter way
-Flowers are growing out in the sand
-And into my cold Ruby Hands
