Amber Hands
S.C.U.M Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

take me back, as im full
i cant see your spear and
its touched my hands
and given every fin
whenchy lies, and till the tide
and son a-snooze you two Hors
the great odyssey off hold a lung
the grade of see-saw hold a lung
slide, side, sea sands Indus awn,
transgender seize and dawn.
sigh, sigh, sees Anne’s Indus son,
transcend the seeds and dawn.
sigh, sign, see sans-sin thus on,
Tran’s end the seeds and gone.
Tick me bat, as I fawk
i can seed your spear-end
its touched by hens
who give and eff rethink
Wet, she lies, until the tied
and summits news you chew horns
grate N-C ahold a lump
graded sea uh holdin’ lun.
vampire hanshy Leeds U2
the greatest seal that slept alone
van purr han chilly’d you too,
thug raid a-see flats left alone,
vamper hand shill heeds you to
thug rapist see that slept Elle own,
vampire hands eel eats you two
Young, is thats your tomb’s great hair?
hung you to the frying sun
Is it shout or fall in gown?
Hum-hum lands that slept along
sun signs seasonings the son,
tran sends the seas and gong
sigh, sigh, Susan’s in this song,
tramp scents the seeds and tongs
sigh, sigh, see Sam’s in this bong,
Transcend the seas at wrong.
Sigh, sigh, seas sans-Indus saw.
trangender, see I’m long.
trangender season god
trangender season dog




trend set the seeds and god
transcend the seeds and dawn.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of S.C.U.M.'s song "Amber Hands" are cryptic and abstract, making it difficult to grasp a clear meaning. The song is characterized by obscure and fragmented verses that revolve around dreamlike sensations and surrealist images. The recurrent use of animalistic and naturalistic metaphors, such as "see your spear," "tide," and "sea sands," intensifies the dreamlike quality of the lyrics. The mentioned transgenerational implications in the lyrics may reveal a critique of a patriarchal society that limits self-expression and individuality.


The lyrics are reminiscent of a surrealistic poem that uses stream of consciousness technique, where one thought leads to another seemingly unrelated idea, and the subconscious mind drives the narrative. The song's structure is disrupted, and the chorus does little to provide any coherence to the song's meaning. The ambiguity and complexity of the song's lyrics create an immersive and almost hypnotic experience for the listener, and the meaning is open to interpretation.
