For You.Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that I messed up a few times or watcha wanna call it
I know if I fell down, you'd change the way that I saw it
I put it on the line for this time only
(Is that what you really want?)
I can't see that I got red hands, I'm colorblind singing (day-oh)
Never wanted to be fooling you, can't believe I was wounding you-oo
(Is that what you really want?)
Oh yeah, oh yeah-ah, that gun is loaded
That gun is loaded, but it's not in my hand
That gun is loaded, but it's not in my hand
The fire burns, I'm not the one with the match, man
That gun is loaded, but it's not in my hand
Oh yeah, oh yeah-ah, that gun is loaded
I've seen it all before, you back out, and everything's changing
I needed something more, you stepped down, so what are you chasing?
I put it on rewind for this time only
(Is that what you really want?)
I realize that I got red hands, I wanna change this (day-oh)
Don't ask me why I choose to lie, I stay blind, oh (day-oh)
It's clear to me that you are human too, your accusations are burning through-oo
(Is that what you really want?)
Oh yeah, oh yeah-ah, that gun is loaded
That gun is loaded, but it's not in my hand
That gun is loaded, but it's not in my hand
The fire burns, I'm not the one with the match, man
That gun is loaded, but it's not in my hand
Oh yeah, oh yeah-ah, that gun is loaded
Oh yeah, oh yeah-ah, that gun is loaded
The song "Hand in Hand" by For You.Earth explores themes of accountability, communication, and blame in relationships. The singer acknowledges that they have made mistakes and hurt their partner in the past, but they also feel that their partner places too much blame on them and does not see their own faults. The metaphor of a loaded gun is used throughout the song, suggesting the potential danger and harm that both parties bring to the relationship. The chorus emphasizes that while this danger is present, it is not solely the singer's responsibility.
The first verse acknowledges the singer's previous mistakes and their willingness to take responsibility for them. They also suggest that their partner may view their actions in a different light, indicating a lack of communication and understanding. The second verse highlights the singer's frustration with their partner's accusations and their desire for a chance to make things right. The repetition of "Is that what you really want?" suggests a plea for clarity and honesty in the relationship.
The chorus uses the metaphor of a loaded gun to convey the potential harm that both parties bring to the relationship. The repeated phrase "that gun is loaded" suggests that the danger is present, but it is not solely the fault of the singer. The line "The fire burns, I'm not the one with the match, man" suggests that both parties are responsible for the damage caused, even if they did not directly cause it.
Overall, "Hand in Hand" is a complex exploration of the dynamics of a troubled relationship. It highlights the importance of communication, understanding, and mutual accountability in building and maintaining healthy relationships.
