1) Orkid is the solo project of Bryan McAdam, playing lush IDM influenced by Boards of Canada.
2) The three angry shoegazers that decided to go by the name of Orkid are Vlad Ilicevici – guitars & vocals, Radu Pop – drums and George Frățică – bass. They have just released their first album, available here orkid4.bandcamp.com. The nine tracks that are included on the album are based on 30 years of sensations, ideas, emotions, stories and experiments that Vlad gathered since his first musical experiences – childhood violin & guitar lessons, but also very loud music through the headphones of the most precious thing he owned as a kid, a green Aiwa walkman. Vladi is a film director and producer directors and Radu – an animator and visual artists. They also work together for Animest www.animest.ro and its educational platform, the Animation Worksheep.
Nevertheless, Orkid is probably their most personal and beloved project.
3) Matilda Melin, placing 6:th in the 2013 season of Swedish Idol. OKID describes her music as indie-electro-pop.
Hands
Orkid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone should hear me screaming
But silently whisper that everything's fine
So good at lying well I'm
Holding your hands cause your hands getting colder
Tears fill my eyes as your word's growing bolder
Pride in your eyes when you say not to worry
Holding your hands in mine
What, what happens now?
Just like you rob me of the rest of my life
What, what matters now?
Tell me the truth will disappear if I'm holding your hands, please don't get any colder
Somehow I wish I could hate you right now
Spare me the thought of you leaving
But silently whisper that everything's fine
So good at lying but I
Thought you would always be right here by my side
Can't you just promise you'll wait
What, what happens now?
Why would you leave me when you said you were mine
But just let me pretend our vows still mean something the moment I'm
Holding your hands cause your hands getting colder
Tears fill my eyes as your word's growing bolder
Pride in your eyes when you say not to worry
Holding your hands in mine
Say nothing, mean more than ever with your silence
You think that I don't even bother it's just that I care to much 'bout you
Too dead to break this silence
What, what happens now?
Would you forgive me if I keep my mouth shut
Doesn't mean I don't bother it's just that I care to much about you
Too dead to break this silence
What, what happens now?
Why would you leave me when you said you were mine (Why)
Why would you leave me when you said you were mine (Why)
Why would you leave me when you said you were mine
What, what happens now?
Just like you rob me of the rest of my life
What, what matters now?
Tell me the truth will disappear if I'm holding your hands cause your hands getting colder
Tears fill my eyes as your word's growing bolder
Pride in your eyes when you say not to worry
Holding your hands cause my hands used to warm them
The song "Hands" by Orkid explores the complexities of a failing relationship. The lyrics describe the singer's internal struggle and their desire to hold on to someone who is slowly slipping away. The opening lines state that the singer wishes everyone could hear their screams, but they are silently whispering that everything is fine. This shows that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the reality of the situation and is not ready to face the truth.
As the song progresses, the singer describes how they are holding their partner's hands, which are growing colder. This symbolizes the emotional distance between them and the fact that their relationship is deteriorating. The line "Tears fill my eyes as your word's growing bolder" shows the emotional turmoil the singer is experiencing as their partner becomes more distant.
The chorus repeatedly asks what happens now and why their partner would leave them when they said they were theirs. However, the singer also acknowledges their own desire to hold on to the relationship, even if it is falling apart. They are too scared to confront the truth and would rather pretend that their vows still mean something.
Overall, "Hands" is a poignant exploration of the difficulties of letting go of a failing relationship. The lyrics are heartfelt and honest, and the melody perfectly conveys the emotions of the singer.

Somehow I'm thinking that all over town
I feel like everyone should know what I'm going through
Everyone should hear me screaming
I want people to hear my pain
But silently whisper that everything's fine
I try to pretend that everything is ok
So good at lying well I'm
I'm skilled at masking my true feelings
Holding your hands cause your hands getting colder
I'm holding your hands because they're getting cold
Tears fill my eyes as your word's growing bolder
I'm crying as you become more confident in your departure
Pride in your eyes when you say not to worry
You have a sense of dignity when you reassure me not to worry
Holding your hands in mine
I'm holding your hands tightly
What, what happens now?
I'm wondering what will happen next
Just like you rob me of the rest of my life
You took away my future with you
What, what matters now?
I need to know the truth because I can't hold on much longer
Tell me the truth will disappear if I'm holding your hands, please don't get any colder
Please don't leave me because the truth will hurt too much
Somehow I wish I could hate you right now
I wish I could hate you to make dealing with this easier
Spare me the thought of you leaving
I can't stand the thought of you leaving me
Thought you would always be right here by my side
I believed you would never abandon me
Can't you just promise you'll wait
Please promise to stay and work things out with me
Say nothing, mean more than ever with your silence
Your silence speaks volumes
You think that I don't even bother it's just that I care too much 'bout you
You may think I don't care, but I care too much to let go
Too dead to break this silence
I'm too emotionally exhausted to keep talking
Would you forgive me if I keep my mouth shut
Will you still forgive me even if I don't say anything?
Why would you leave me when you said you were mine
I don't understand why you would leave after promising to stay
Holding your hands cause my hands used to warm them
I remember how you used to hold my hands and warm them
