A Day and a Deathwish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See the burden on my head hum
See I can't move on with my lantern gone
I need you only friend to shine in me
And I'm not afraid to show my heart
I'm not afraid to let you start in my life again
With a flame in my heart, burnin' me again
With a hole in my hand and a strength to my stand
With a flame in my heart, burnin' me again
With a hole in my hand, with a hole in my hand
See the ropes are long and they hold on strong
To tie me to the end gone
See I can't move on with my freedom gone
I need you only friend to set me free
And I'm not afraid to show my heart
I'm not afraid to let you start in my life again
With a hole in my hand and a strength to my stand
With a flame in my heart, burnin' me again
With a hole in my hand and a strength to my stand
With a flame in my heart, burnin' me again
With a hole in my hand, with a hole in my hand
And I'm not afraid to show my heart
With a hole in my hand and a strength to my stand
With a flame in my heart, burnin' me again
With a hole in my hand and a strength to my stand
With a flame in my heart, burnin' me again
With a hole in my hand, with a hole in my hand
With a hole in my hand, yeah
The lyrics of A Day and a Deathwish's song Hand in Hand seem to be about the struggles of life, the heavy burdens we carry, and our need for a friend's support throughout it all. The song begins by describing the weight on the singer's head and how they cannot move on without their lantern, which could be symbolic of hope or guidance. The singer acknowledges their vulnerability and expresses their need for a friend to "shine" in them, perhaps to help them see through the darkness.
In the chorus, the singer continues to reveal their vulnerability with the line "I'm not afraid to show my heart," further emphasizing their need for support. The mention of a "hole in my hand" could represent the wounds of life that we carry with us, but the singer also mentions a "strength to my stand" and a "flame in my heart," which could symbolize the resilience and passion they have to keep going despite the pain.
The second verse speaks of being tied down and losing one's freedom. Again, the singer needs a friend's support to set them free from the ropes that bind them. The repetition of the chorus and the line "with a hole in my hand" throughout the song implies that the struggles and wounds of life are ongoing, but the strength and support of a friend can help us persevere through them.
Overall, Hand in Hand seems to be a song about the universal struggles of life and the importance of having a friend's support to help us through them. It acknowledges our vulnerabilities and wounds but also celebrates the resilience and passion that allow us to keep moving forward.
