The lyrics of Al Pine's song Hands explore the idea of accepting and embracing paradoxical emotions such as love and hate, joy and pain, and life and death. The opening line "It's okay to feel the rain on my hands" suggests that sometimes it's necessary to let oneself feel both pleasant and unpleasant emotions. The repetition of the phrase "my love, my enemy" further emphasizes this idea of seemingly contradictory feelings coexisting within oneself. The spoken interlude "Fiery heart, spoken up, nobody's here" adds to the sentiment of intense and conflicting emotions that one has to deal with alone.
The chorus repeats the same idea but substitutes the word "ring" for "rain". The meaning behind this change is not entirely clear, but it could be interpreted as a symbol of commitment or captivity. This ambivalence is reflected in the following lines, "four-four words" which suggest fragmented and incomplete thoughts or feelings.
Overall, the song suggests that it is important to accept and acknowledge the complexity of one's emotions and that this acceptance can lead to a greater sense of peace and self-awareness.

I've been looking for this music video for years. Remember watching it on TV when I was about 11 years old. I could only remember parts of the videoclip and the melody so I couldn't find it 'cause I didn't knew the lyrics. I'm so glad I finally found it. It's so beautiful and special (still practicing my english).
@zrinchyy
Same here, I’m so happy I discovered it again!

For 4 months I've had this song on repeat and i'm yet to get tired of it. Such a likable melodic track gets better throughout the entire song. Love it!

Their voices sound so electronic together. It's crazy it sounds like someone sampling something and adding effects to it. Not in a bad way though, it makes the most surreal sound.

I met one of the singer's mums. She was so proud of them that she told me to look them up! Love it!
