Framing Hanley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to say what you mean.
Let's do this right tonight.
Cause there's no in between.
The self deprecation of
What you put your faith in
Has brought you to your knees.
What if the gun is empty?
[Chorus]
Run
Leave it all alone.
Just run.
It's all in your hands, all in your hands.
It's all in your hands, all in your hands.
The questions never asked,
You'll never find the answer.
Waiting for the truth,
Could become your cancer.
That could form in ways in this tragic way,
Have this stage set for a great ending.
We're miles from the finish line.
Is your heart worth defending?
[Chorus]
We've taken this, for way too long.
We're taking this tonight.
Leave it all alone.
It's all in your hands, all in your hands. [Repeat: x3]
We're taking this alive.
We're taking this alive.
You're standing at the finish line.
We're taking this alive.
We're taking this alive.
Leave it all and run
The lyrics to Framing Hanley's song "All In Your Hands" explore themes of self-reflection, introspection, and taking control of one's own life. The opening lines suggest a level of courage necessary to speak honestly and directly, with the repetition of "let's do this right tonight" emphasizing the importance of the moment. The lines "The self-deprecation of what you put your faith in/Has brought you to your knees" suggest that the singer is recognizing the ways in which their own self-doubt and negativity has held them back, leading them to feel defeated. The metaphor of waiting at a starting line, uncertain if the gun is empty, suggests a sense of uncertainty and apprehension.
The chorus, with its directive to "run" and reminder that it's all in the listener's hands, suggests a call to action and empowerment. The lines "The questions never asked/You'll never find the answer" suggest that avoiding difficult questions can ultimately be damaging, taking the metaphorical form of a "cancer." The reference to a "great ending" suggests that taking control of one's life can lead to a fulfilling conclusion, while the repeated question of whether one's heart is worth defending emphasizes the importance of self-worth.
