HANDS
Mr. Tuxedo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
I’ll walk hand in hand with you into the light
It won’t be a fall from firth of forth bridge
My arms & legs froze in a fridge
Poisoned by gas in illegal digs
Buried by landslides, burning on flights
I’ll walk hand in hand with you into the light
It won’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 don’t die
The next one, the chorus, that one’s alright
I’ll walk hand in hand with you into the light
The lyrics to Mr. Tuxedo's song "Hands" express the hope that the singer and their partner will go through life together until the end. The song is saying that it doesn't matter what kind of calamities might befall the singer - from drug use to being physically harmed or killed in some way - because they will leave this life when they are meant to, and always together. The song specifically mentions many potential causes of death, both natural and unnatural, to underscore that whatever might happen, the singer will always want to be with their loved one.
The opening lines mention that the singer won't die in a lake or in the back of a car, and also references lines on their arms and a crack from a bar, which could indicate drug use. The mention of a break in veins and a shot from a gun could also be related to addiction. However, the song goes on to rule out many other causes of death, such as falling from the Firth of Forth bridge, being savaged by dogs or swallowed by pigs, being buried by landslides, burning on a flight and many more.
The final lines of the song - the chorus - say that whatever does happen, the singer will walk "hand in hand" with their partner "into the light". This light could be interpreted as the afterlife or simply as the next stage in their journey together.

Hey, bro, all due respect, you're awesome! Keep those gainz to your fulfillment! I'm using my own diet plan. Started 3 days ago, lost 8 pounds. Then I gain 1 pound for 2 days, then repeat. 3 days are done with extreme brutal workouts while maintaining about 750 calories (max protein to those calories) per day of 3 suicide workouts. I feel I've done quite wonderfully at losing weight and gaining muscle.
