Hands Reversed
Decoding Life's Puzzle: Tokyo Police Club's Hands Reversed
Lyrics
You've got to come into my kitchen for a crime
You need to confront a challenging situation or problem.
You've got to shoot me up and tie me to the kite
Suggests a need for a drastic or intense experience, possibly with a hint of danger.
I'm gonna tell you what to do about yourself
The speaker will provide advice or guidance about self-improvement.
Because the breakfast of the champions is a hedonistic health
Emphasizes the pursuit of pleasure and indulgence as a vital aspect of life.
Made of paper and glue
Refers to fragility and creativity using basic materials.
You're a Rubik's cube
Compares the complexity of a person to a Rubik's cube, indicating intricacy.
You can buy it in cans, tin cans
Suggests the availability of complexity in a marketable, accessible form.
You were always the first
Recognition of being a pioneer or an early adopter.
But I think you've got your hands reversed
Raises the idea that something is not as it should be, possibly a confusion or mistake.
Hands reversed
-Hands reversed
-And cool for sure
Asserts confidence in being trendy or fashionable.
Watching your weekends and your holidays combine
Observing the integration of work and leisure in one's life.
Trying to color in between the dotted lines
Attempting to balance or navigate within established boundaries.
Your only souvenir's a suitcase full of sand
Personal possessions represent transient experiences or memories.
But when you feel like you're a million then I feel like I'm a grand
Suggests a comparison in self-worth based on external achievements.
Made of paper and glue
Reiteration of fragility and creativity using basic materials.
You're a Rubik's cube
Reiterates the complexity of the person using a Rubik's cube metaphor.
You can buy it in cans (tin cans)
Repeats the idea of complexity being available in a marketable form.
You were always the first
Reaffirms the individual's pioneering or early adopter status.
But I think you've got your hands reversed
Repeats the notion that something is not as it should be, emphasizing confusion or mistake.
Hands reversed
-Hands reversed
-And cool for sure
Reasserts confidence in being trendy or fashionable.
