Hands of Life
Gargantua Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then you realize it's just hard to make your stand.
In the hands of life, you wonder why.
You've been sitting in the hands of love.
You want the sky.
In the moment, Just one kiss and then the moments gone.
In the hands of life you wonder why.
You've been sitting in the hands of love.
You want the sky.
Sitting in the hands of life,
You wonder why.
Sitting in the hands of God,
You want the sky.
The lyrics of "Hands of Life" by Gargantua Soul explore the theme of uncertainty and the struggle to make a decisive move in life. The song begins with the realization that time is ticking away and yet, it is hard to make a decision. The second hand of the clock serves as a metaphor for the seconds of life that pass us by and how important it is to use them effectively. However, the inherent indecision makes it hard to stand up for oneself and take charge of one's life.
The chorus of the song refers to being in the "hands of life" and wondering why. It alludes to feeling like a mere spectator, not a participant, in one's own life. The contrast is drawn between the hands of life and the hands of love. Being in the hands of love may suggest being comfortable and happy but not necessarily motivated to achieve one's aspirations. The desire to reach for more is symbolized by the longing for the sky, which represents ultimate freedom, limitless possibilities and the unattainable.
