Hands
Awful Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She says I'm best in moderation
And I'm guessing it shows
Poison and heavy rotation
Rotting down to the bone
I'll take the blame for dislocation
And the filth as my own
Faith and family obligations
My hands can't hold

And I'm keeping my corners clean
When I lay my head down

And what she said had nothing to do with it, no
So you take your bones home, take your bones home
Destroy yourself, come back to it, no
You destroy yourself then you come back to it
'Cause what she said, had nothing to do with it, no
So you take your bones home
Take your bones home

And I'm keeping my corners clean
When I lay my head down
No, no, no I don't dream
No I don't dream
No I don't dream

And the filth falls through your hands, but not mine
The filth falls through your hands, but not mine
And I yell because I know why
Oh and I yell 'cause I know why

And I'm keeping my corners clean
When I lay my head down
No, no, no I don't dream
No I don't dream
No I don't dream
And you send me off to sleep

Send me off to sleep
(Send me off to sleep)
Send me off to sleep

Send me off to sleep
(Send me off to sleep)
Send me off to sleep

No no
No no no
No no
No no no
No no
No no no

Send me
Send me
Send me off to




No no
To sleep

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Awful's song "Hands" depict a story of a troubled individual who is grappling with the consequences of their actions and the burden they carry. The first verse introduces the idea that the singer is aware of their own destructive tendencies, represented by the lines "She says I'm best in moderation, And I'm guessing it shows." The words "poison" and "rotting down to the bone" paint a picture of someone slowly deteriorating due to their self-destructive behavior. The phrase "I'll take the blame for dislocation" suggests that the singer is willing to accept responsibility for the negative outcomes caused by their actions.


The next set of lines, "Faith and family obligations, My hands can't hold," hint at a conflict between the singer's personal desires and the expectations placed upon them by their faith and family. The "hands" in this context can symbolize the inability to keep up with these obligations and the resulting feeling of being overwhelmed.


The chorus reflects the singer's determination to maintain a clean and controlled exterior, despite the chaos inside. They emphasize the phrase "keeping my corners clean" as a way of saying they are trying to maintain a composed image. The repetition of the line "No, no, no, I don't dream" suggests a sense of detachment or denial of their innermost feelings and desires.


The second verse introduces a contrast between the singer and someone else ("what she said had nothing to do with it"). This implies that external opinions or influence have little impact on the singer's self-destructive patterns. The repetition of "destroy yourself, come back to it" emphasizes the cyclical nature of their behavior. The phrase "And I yell 'cause I know why" could signify frustration or anger at their own actions and the underlying reasons behind them.


Line by Line Meaning

She says I'm best in moderation
According to her, I am only good when I am not excessive.


And I'm guessing it shows
And I assume it is evident in my behavior.


Poison and heavy rotation
Being consumed by negativity repeatedly.


Rotting down to the bone
Deteriorating to the core.


I'll take the blame for dislocation
I will accept responsibility for feeling disconnected.


And the filth as my own
Accepting the impurity within myself.


Faith and family obligations
Commitments to my beliefs and loved ones.


My hands can't hold
I am unable to grasp onto them.


And I'm keeping my corners clean
I ensure my surroundings are controlled and orderly.


When I lay my head down
When I rest or sleep.


And what she said had nothing to do with it, no
Her words were irrelevant to the situation.


So you take your bones home, take your bones home
You take your problems away with you.


Destroy yourself, come back to it, no
Harming oneself and then returning to the same destructive behaviors.


'Cause what she said had nothing to do with it, no
Because her words were not related to the matter at hand.


So you take your bones home
So you take your problems away with you.


And the filth falls through your hands, but not mine
You cannot hold onto the impurity, but I can.


And I yell because I know why
I express anger because I understand the reasons behind it.


No, no, no I don't dream
I do not have any dreams.


And you send me off to sleep
And you cause me to fall asleep.

9 times out of 10 I lose most of money due to having pocket aces. On a preflop,

Funny story, playing nlh 1-2 blinds

I got pocket aces

And I raise to 40$

Get check by 2 other guys,

Flip

2s Ac 7s

I bet 50, one guy fold and one guy calls,

Don’t really remember exactly what cards he had but they were spades, not a crazy bet to do if your a loose player, but he did catch a flush on the of Qs

Now I’ve corrected that play and how you can deter Somone from getting lucky off your top set in a preflight where you are the favourite,

Do this if it’s heads up,

Thinks about what already in the pot

A good 100$ or so at the point and this is trying to get lucky,

Bet way to win that’s not losing to a bad beat is to 4 bet call all in with that and face your cards up, 99.99 percent if the time you will save your self from a bad beat and will win the pot.

Your welcome.

For those who keep asking about J/9 offsuit. The reason it's bad is because
1) the high card isn't that high (they'd be all the 12 Q, K, & As that are higher -- 23% of the deck) -- so it looks higher than it is. Remember it's barely better than a 10
2) You depend entirely on getting a 10 on the flop to hope to have a straight. Without the 10, you have nothing.

After watching WSOP and EPT I jokingly concluded, that the worst hands are JJ and AQ, because 80% of the time they loose a lot (if not all) of your money. When 7-2 only loose a big blind at worst and it's very easy to fold :D

I've lost the most with AA

It also depends on the number of hands in the game. K9 is playable headsup.
