Scissorhands
Embracing Scissorhands: Navigating Life's Turmoil with Metaphorical Blades
Lyrics
There are days when I couldn't fight my way out of a wet paper bag
Expresses feeling helpless, unable to overcome simple challenges
Even if I had Edward Scissorhands hands
Even with extraordinary capabilities, still feels incapable
There are times I kick and scream and cry
Describing moments of intense emotional distress
Because I'm swept up in a hurricane
Metaphorically caught in a chaotic situation
Of shit that hard to leave behind
Refers to difficult circumstances that are hard to move past
This snowballs chances are fantastic
Highlighting the escalating nature of a challenging situation
With elemental firm my past hell bent on escalating fast
Feeling trapped by past experiences intensifying quickly
There are days when I couldn't fight my way out of a wet paper bag
Reiteration of feeling powerless in certain situations
Even if I had Edward Scissorhands hands
Reinforcing a sense of incapability despite imagined abilities
If I had Edward Scissorhands hands
Fantasizing about possessing unique abilities
I would widdle pogs into pentagrams
Imagining using those abilities for unconventional purposes
I could say hello to my little friends
Referencing a famous line ("Say hello to my little friend") with a twist
Give me ten snip snip
Playful reference to cutting things
Harvester of middle men
Metaphorical imagery suggesting cutting through obstacles/people
And thumbs split against a bit of introspective sludge
Struggling with introspection amid chaos and aggression
In a moment of resenting he's motivated of forgetting, home
Reflecting on a moment of resenting and attempting to forget
A den of grotesque over stepping
Describing a place filled with excessive and grotesque behavior
Where blood ain't thick as a face full of spit
Highlighting how relationships can be thin and strained
From a eucharistic minister enraged with his kid
Using religious imagery to depict anger and conflict
The very same hand feeding Christ to parishioners
Contrasting religious figures with violent actions
Later bunched tight
Describing violence or anger towards innocent figures
Punched like Santa's miniatures
Violent action towards innocent symbols or representations
And images I don't associate with my awareness anymore
Reflection on past memories that are no longer associated
But I've recently been daring to explore
Considering exploring unfamiliar or uncomfortable memories
Instead of Mary
Choosing to deviate from traditional beliefs or norms
Schlepped home jugging the wet stones
Carrying burdensome emotions or experiences
The handshakes sting
Physical contact causing emotional pain
But the hug is a death code
Describing conflicting emotions in a close relationship
The son of a spitfire
Reference to a strong-willed and fiery individual
Show up in the wet snow
Arrival in challenging circumstances
He's cutting the tripwire
Overcoming obstacles or danger
He's opened a window
Suggesting an opening for change or escape
Like a mercenary gunning for a slumbering death stroke
Describing a decisive and forceful action
In the pen ultimate seconds of a budding crescendo
Symbolizing intense or critical moments
These stone snows
Metaphor for challenges or hardships
Scissorhands bets
Refers to risky bets or actions
Cut a pig heart from a wicked mans chest
Extreme action against an immoral person
Maybe hang it high on a fence for a fantasy alive in the eyes of revenge
Fantasy of revenge and justice
Oh and I'd accidentally injure every jam band
Imagining accidentally causing harm to a specific group
If I had Edward Scissorhands hands, hmm
Reiterating the theme of possessing extraordinary abilities
I will wrap my arms around you
Expressing a protective and supportive stance towards someone vulnerable
And I will not let them get through to harm you
-My fingers will be just like barbed wire surrounding you
-And I will not let them through
-To do the things they want to do to you
-I will wrap my arms around you
-I will wrap my arms around you
-There are days when I couldn't fight my way out of a wet paper bag
Repetition of feelings of helplessness and incapability
Even if I had Edward Scissorhands hands
-There are times I kick and scream and cry
-Because I'm swept up in a hurricane
-Of shit that hard to leave behind
-This snowballs chances are fantastic
-With elemental firm my past hell bent on escalating fast
-There are days when I couldn't fight my way out of a wet paper bag
-Even if I had Edward Scissorhands hands
-If I had Edward Scissorhands hands
Reiteration of fantasizing about having unique abilities
If I had Edward Scissorhands hands.
