Hand in Hand
The Beatsteaks/Beatsteaks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She comes in a cloud but she don't know
She walks in a haze
Do we get up before it ever gets too late
Hand in hand we walk on down
The alley and our common ground
We walk in a haze
Do we pass out before we ever know it's on?
She ain't never gonna get wise
She ain't never gonna get wise
She ain't never gonna get wise
And I feel better with my hands tied
(Ahu!)
She ain't never gonna get wise
She ain't never gonna get wise
She ain't never gonna get wise
And I feel better with my hands tied
She follows me down to where I go
Not pulling a chain, not feeling low
Don't wake me up, I can't relate to any other song today
Hand in hand we walk along
The alley and our common ground
I walk in a haze, why should I care?
I'm waiting out the days go anywhere
Oh
She ain't never gonna get wise
She ain't never gonna get wise
She ain't never gonna get wise
And I feel better with my hands tied
She ain't never gonna get wise
She ain't never gonna get wise
She ain't never gonna get wise
And I feel better with my hands tied
The Beatsteaks’ “Hand in Hand” is a reflective and introspective song about getting lost in the moment and not worrying about anything else. The lyrics suggest the presence of a companion who follows the singer, but remains lost and confused. The companion "comes in a cloud" and walks "in a haze," possibly indicating that they are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The singer and the companion walk together through a common ground, most likely a metaphor for their shared experiences or state of mind. The singer seems comfortable with their companion’s confusion, as it allows them to escape the mundanity of everyday life. Despite the singer’s own haziness, they seem to enjoy the moment, not wanting to wake up and "relate to any other song today." The repeated phrase, “She ain’t never gonna get wise,” can be interpreted in a few ways. Perhaps it’s a statement on the singer’s own hesitations or fears. Or, it could refer to the companion and their inability to fully understand the situation. In either case, the singer seems content with the situation, even suggesting they feel better when their hands are tied, possibly symbolizing the release of control.
Overall, “Hand in Hand” paints a picture of two individuals living in the moment, seemingly without a care for what lies ahead. The song is simple in structure and lyrics, much like the state of mind it describes. It's a song that captures the essence of being carefree and just living in the moment, without any burdening thoughts or anxieties.

She comes in a cloud but she don't know
She walks in a haze
Do we get up
Before it ever gets too late
Hand in hand we walk on down

Der erste Song der Beatsteaks, den ich aktiv wahrgenommen hab. Kein Wunder, er wurde damals ja auch auf allen Musiksendern hoch und runter gespielt. Kann mich noch erinnern wie überrascht ich war, als ich erfuhr ,dass es eine deutsche Band ist.
@paddyd.7137
Nicht nur EINE deutsche Band.
DIE Band aus Deutschland!
Wundert mich immer noch, dass Beatsteaks keinen Weltruhm erfahren.
