Trustful Hands
The Dø Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are sentimental animals
We are undercover criminals
We were meant to make a thing or two
Meant to break the laws of gravity too, oh

Hold on
Go slow
Lights out
Let go
Stay put
At ease
Breathe out
Then in

Oh no, no, no, no
There comes chaos

Reach out
Like me
Easily
Sucked in
When I dance
In disorder
Do I want to
Make sense at all

No, no, no
Not this time, it

Comes and goes, comes and goes
Chaos is my second home
I don't mind where I land
As long as I'm in trustful hands

We are sentimental animals
We are undercover criminals
We were meant to make a thing or two
Meant to break the laws of gravity too, oh

Burn bridges
Lose ground
Bite the dust
For a while
Where's order
When it's needed
Do I want to
Make some at all

No, no, no, no
There comes chaos back

Oh no, no, no, no
Not this time, it

Comes and goes, comes and goes
Chaos is my second home
I don't mind where I land
As long as I'm in trustful hands

We are sentimental animals
We are undercover criminals
We were meant to make a thing or two
Meant to break the laws of gravity
We are sentimental animals
We are undercover criminals
We were meant to make a thing or two
Meant to break the laws of gravity too, oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh




Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Trustful Hands by The Dø explore the complexities of human nature and our desire for chaos as well as stability. The song begins by describing our sentiments and our capacity for good and bad. We are creatures who want to make things happen and break the laws of gravity - ultimately, we are capable of great feats. However, amidst our potential for explosive growth, we also have chaos within us, and the song repeatedly acknowledges this as our "second home."


The chorus emphasizes this message, reminding us that "Chaos is my second home", and that though we may not want to make sense or bring order, we are at peace as long as we are in "trustful hands", suggesting a need for connection and stability. Throughout the song, the lyrics remind us of our two sides, always tugging at us, pulling us into different directions, and that sometimes we welcome the chaos, but other times it causes problems.


Overall, the message of the song seems to be that although humans can be unpredictable, we can still be grounded by the support of others, finding comfort in connections with those who understand our dual natures.

I'm watching a music video set in Japan from a French Band singing in English.
Wrap your head around that.
