Hand in Hand
Bomb Gang Girls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay where you are
Playing with fatalities
Come pass the stars
As darkness crumbles bones of clay
Stop all this crying
Pass the liquid to a cold one
Fate's left us here
To beg to wait to try and save me from drowning
Hand in hand...
Stay by the fire
Satan is a razorblade
We trade back and forth
Leftover puzzles we lost in the war
It's still all the same
In the quiet should I leave you
Here all alone




To beg to wait to try and save everyone from drowning
Hand in hand...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Bomb Gang Girls' Hand in Hand explore themes of chaos, hopelessness, and an uncertain future. The opening lines of "Stay where you are, playing with fatalities" suggests that the singer is aware of the risks they are taking but cannot resist the lure of danger. As they move towards the unknown (passing the stars), there is a sense of crumbling and decay ("darkness crumbles bones of clay") that surrounds them.


The chorus emphasizes the need for human connection even in the face of adversity. "Hand in hand" becomes a reassuring refrain, a call to stay together even as the world falls apart. The second verse brings up the image of Satan as a razorblade, a symbol of a malevolent force that cuts deeply and indiscriminately. The singer recognizes that they have lost something (leftover puzzles we lost in the war), but there is still a sense of shared experience ("it's still all the same") that can bring them together.


Ultimately, the song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the singer questioning whether they should leave someone behind or try to save everyone from drowning. The lyrics of Hand in Hand capture the palpable sense of anxiety and despair that can come in uncertain times, but also the importance of holding onto each other, even when hope seems lost.
