Shaking Hand
Women Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw it
Hit the ground
But no one
Was around

Can you even tell me that no one is the same as you
Same as you
Nation walking racket wall of guns sing straight out

As you
As you

There were ticking bloody watches in our hands
Important to the soil to make ladders
Have another heart attack before the numb bark chairs
Open up your mouth where you want to go

I can hardly recognize the shapes
The shapes
Wandering through Chinatown once times every artificial need
Artificial need

Slip down open over such small teeth
Alright

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Women's song "Shaking Hand" appear to convey a sense of confusion and disorientation, as the singer struggles to make sense of the world around them. The opening lines suggest a sense of abandonment, as the singer witnesses something falling to the ground, but can't find anyone nearby to explain it. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling lost and alone in the world, with no one to turn to for guidance or support.

The following lines are more cryptic, with references to "Nation walking racket wall of guns" and "ticking bloody watches." These could suggest a sense of danger and anxiety, with the singer feeling that they are constantly under threat from the larger forces of society. The repetition of "Same as you" and "As you" could suggest a desire for connection and understanding, as the singer longs to find someone who shares their experiences and perspective.

The final lines are similarly enigmatic, with references to "Chinatown," "artificial need," and "small teeth." These could be interpreted as images of a world that is rapidly changing and becoming more complex, with the singer struggling to keep up. The final word, "Alright," could suggest a sense of resignation or acceptance, as the singer comes to terms with the fact that they may never fully understand the world around them.

I saw it
I witnessed an event

Hit the ground
Something fell to the ground

But no one
No one was present at the time

Was around
There were no witnesses

Can you even tell me that no one is the same as you
Can you honestly say that you are no different from anyone else?

Same as you
Identical to you

Nation walking racket wall of guns sing straight out
The country is in chaos with violence and aggression

As you
Just like you

There were ticking bloody watches in our hands
We were under pressure and had commitments to keep

Important to the soil to make ladders
It's essential to stay grounded to achieve success

Have another heart attack before the numb bark chairs
Don't wait for something big to happen, take risks before it's too late
