I can't take you with me where i'm going
The song Hands by Tinkers shows a person having a tough time letting go of someone they love. They are conflicted because while they want to take the person with them wherever they are going, they also know deep down that it is impossible. The repetition of "Don't want" in the beginning of the song and the use of repetition in general gives the lyrics a sense of urgency and desperation, emphasizing the singer's inner turmoil.

In the song, the singer is trying to let go of this connection but can feel themselves getting pulled back by their emotions. The repetition of the phrase "hands off" shows the struggle the singer is having to resist the urge to reach out and hold onto their lover one last time.
In conclusion, Tinkers's song Hands portrays the internal struggle of letting go of someone you love.

5:12 this has not been true for a very, very long time; the interior/base can be as small as a single block, provided that a controller, tank, and drain are each places on one of the four sides. If you don't believe me, just build it for yourself. I use these small ones all the time.
