Two Hands
Chew Lips Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now you're counting trees
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
Counting birds
Count the rest for me
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting
Only starting
Take it all in
Two hands open
Both minds hoping
Only starting both
Dreamed of june
And we were in the sea
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
Facing south
To were my father's been
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting
Only starting
Take it all in
Two hands open
Both minds hoping
Only starting
Take it all in
Two hands open both
The lyrics to Chew Lips' song "Two Hands" suggest that the singer is urging someone to stop counting things and start experiencing the world around them. The first verse mentions counting trees and birds, suggesting an obsession with quantitative measures that might be keeping them from fully immersing themselves in nature. The lyrics ask, "What are you waiting for?" suggesting a sense of urgency to start living life and experiencing new things.
The second verse mentions a dream of being in the sea during June, indicating a desire for escape and freedom. However, the second line mentions "facing south to where my father's been," suggesting a struggle to break free from the past and embrace a new way of living. The repetition of "what are you waiting for?" at the end of each verse reinforces the idea that time is passing and the singer wants the person they're addressing to start living life to the fullest.
The chorus, "only starting, take it all in, two hands open, both minds hoping," suggests that the singer is encouraging the person to approach life with open-mindedness and a willingness to embrace new experiences. The repeated line "only starting" suggests that there is much more to come and that the person should not waste any more time.
Overall, the lyrics to "Two Hands" by Chew Lips seem to be about urging someone to stop counting and start experiencing life. The repeated refrain of "what are you waiting for?" suggests a sense of urgency and a desire to break free from the past and embrace new experiences.
