Farewell
Hundred Hands Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You supposed I could. well I might. write these wrong I've written down.
With my pen and my hand. I've drawn them out.
You are all I have. nothing more than a nightstand of memories that fade away.
And you chill me down to the bone. and I am never more than I am with you now.

And what was put down was a let down in my book.
Nothing matters anyhow. leave my heart out of this.
It's more that I'll commit. farewell goodbye forever




Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Hundred Hands' song "Farewell" portray a sense of uncertainty and hesitance, suggesting that the singer may be contemplating their ability to adequately convey their emotions through their writing. They acknowledge the existence of past mistakes that they have made, and express their hope that they will be able to correct these mistakes in their writing. The act of putting pen to paper is used as a symbol for the singer's internal struggle of trying to express themselves accurately.


The singer then shifts their focus to a person who appears to hold great significance in their life. Although this person may only be a "nightstand of memories," they are all the singer has left. Yet, the singer also acknowledges that memories fade away, indicating a sense of melancholy and loss. The person in question also has the ability to "chill [the singer] down to the bone," but paradoxically, they also make the singer feel more alive than ever before. This juxtaposition of warmth and coldness further emphasizes the singer's internal conflict.


The final lines of the song reveal the singer's realization that, ultimately, their feelings may not matter in the grand scheme of things. Despite their commitment to the relationship and their struggle to convey their emotions adequately, the singer resigns themselves to bidding farewell and saying goodbye forever. The song ends on a bittersweet note, with the singer acknowledging the transience of their emotions and relationships.
