With the Punches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On how you should deal when everything you love comes crashing down.
Open my mouth, but not a sound comes out.
I think of just bad that I wish that I could go back,
To correct decisions made
And counteract feeling so afraid.
I'm starting to see what you said all along but I
But I still disagree.
Or the nights that meant so much to me.
It's impossible to choose with everything that you've got, left to lose.
I hope I never see the day when ambition fades away.
I'd rather dive off of the Newburgh-Beacon than live a life so meaningless. Cover my mouth so not a sound comes out.
No matter what the outcome,
Excepted that I can't go back
To correct decisions made
And counteract feeling so afraid.
I'm starting to see what you said all along but I
But I still disagree.
Can't put a price tag on the things we've seen
Or the nights that meant the world to me.
Good luck with the woulda-coulda shit your dreams will never come true.
Good luck with the woulda-coulda shit those dreams will never come true.
It's impossible to choose with everything that you've got
Left to lose and these days
Nothing's ever black and white, we're just all lost in the details.
Every question weighs a ton, is this so wrong that it can't be undone?
Every question weighs a ton, is this so wrong that it can't be undone?
(Every question weighs a ton, is this so wrong that it can't be undone?)
(Every question weighs a ton, is this so wrong that it can't be undone?)
The song "Hulk Hands" by With the Punches is about the struggle of dealing with the aftermath of losing everything that you love dearly. The lyrics imply that there is no real strategy to deal with such a situation, making it difficult to move on. The singer regrets some decisions made in the past which led to the present situation and feels helpless. Though they are beginning to come to terms with what others have been saying all along, they still have disagreements. Memories and experiences that cannot be bought or replaced on the nights that meant everything. The lyrics suggest that life is not always black and white, and every decision weighs heavily.
The lines "I hope I never see the day when ambition fades away / I'd rather dive off of the Newburgh-Beacon than live a life so meaningless" imply that the singer holds on to their ambitions, even when everything is lost. They would rather take risks than live a life that does not hold meaning.
Overall, "Hulk Hands" is a heartfelt song that explores the emotional turmoil that one goes through after losing loved ones or everything that holds meaning to them. The lyrics depict how it is impossible to go back in time and make different choices, thus highlighting the weight of every decision made.

Making decisions is hard when everything feels uncertain and complicated
Every question weighs a ton, is this so wrong that it can't be undone?
Every decision feels heavy and irreversible
