HANDS
Mr.Kitty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It wonโ€™t be a lake, the back of a car
Lines on my arms, a crack from a bar
A break in my veins, a shot from a gun
A fire, warning or rays from the sun
Not a virus, pollution or a fall from a height
Iโ€™ll walk hand in hand with you into the light
It wonโ€™t be a fall from firth of forth bridge
My arms & legs froze in a fridge
Savaged by dogs, swallowed by pigs
Poisoned by gas in illegal digs
Buried by landslides, burning on flights
Iโ€™ll walk hand in hand with you into the light
It wonโ€™t be old age, drown in the sea
Choked on a chicken bone stuck inside me
Exposure to cold, a fall from the sky
This list of the ways that I hope I donโ€™t die




The next one, the chorus, that oneโ€™s alright
Iโ€™ll walk hand in hand with you into the light

Overall Meaning

In "Hands," Mr. Kitty describes all the different ways he doesn't want to die, but ultimately expresses his willingness to walk "hand in hand" into the afterlife with his loved one. He lists a variety of grotesque and gruesome scenarios, such as drug addiction ("Lines on my arms, a crack from a bar"), violent crime ("A break in my veins, a shot from a gun"), and natural disasters ("Buried by landslides, burning on flights"). He also includes more mundane yet still unpleasant possibilities like choking on food and succumbing to old age. However, regardless of how he passes, he wants to do so together with someone he cares about.


The song's lyrics can be interpreted as a meditation on mortality and the inevitability of death. The repetition of the phrase "I'll walk hand in hand with you into the light" reinforces this theme of acceptance and companionship in the face of death. The line "It wonโ€™t be a virus, pollution or a fall from a height" also hints at a commentary on the current global pandemic, given that the song was released in 2020.

Well I'm not used to talking about my life but now I feel I cannot stop
I saw a man and I thought he had my face I heard a preacher and I thought he had my voice
Up on a train since the moment I opened my eyes sometimes I'm sure I've seen this place again but deep in my Heart there's some courage and some hope and certainty that these rails will never end
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore

Well here I stand in the center of the scene with all the lights pointing right in my head
But in the dark there's a man that can't be seen holding a gun with all the power of his hand


The show is over and the applause pricks my ear the hall is empty and the man is getting bigger
He closes his eyes but serenity is gone he laughs at me and at once he pulls the trigger
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore

Now as I lay dead upon the floor I know my name will never be forgotten
I see that train getting lost inside the smoke and my body being fresh instead of rotten
Feels that I'm growing but this world is getting small
I cannot take it anymore
