Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cause I've spent the best part of my life inside but won't anymore
and I've found my head doesn't hold me anymore cause I'm already flawed
and I find my heart doesn't love me anymore cause I'm already yours….
KCC you are the ball to my broken chain and I foresee this wall will fall when I call your name
and I find my fear doesn't hold me anymore cause I'm no longer flawed,
and I find my heart doesn't hate me anymore cause I'm no longer yours.
The Handless Man by Keston Cobblers Club is a song that captures the agony of being trapped in a life that is not fulfilling, and the joy that comes from breaking free. The singer speaks of taking all the best things that people knew about him, but now he questions the purpose of holding onto them since he has wasted the prime years of his life being trapped in a miserable existence. He has come to the realization that he is already flawed and his head cannot hold him anymore. The singer metaphorically speaks of losing his heart because he has given it away to someone else.
However, there is a hint of hope in the lyrics as the singer sings of a certain "KCC" who has become a significant other or friend. This person is the ball to his broken chain and he believes that the wall that he feels is separating him from a fulfilling life will fall when he calls out the name of KCC. The fear that held him back is now gone because he is no longer flawed, and he knows that his heart no longer hates him because he has found a way out of the trap that was his former way of living. The Handless Man is a song that encourages individuals to break free from the chains that hold them back, and to embrace the fullness of life that comes with living authentically.
