Palm Of My Hand
ZHU Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I had you in the palm of my hand
And I had you in the palm of my hand
And I had you in the palm of my hand
And I had you in the palm of my hand
And I had you in the palm of my hand
J'pense que ça marchera pas mais j'y ai cru quand même
Je me revois, je revois tes yeux, je revois ta bouche, je revois tes cheveux, ton visage
Je me demande si toi aussi t'y penses
Je me demande si toi aussi tu
Tu me revois quand tu fermes les yeux et quand tu rêves
C'est un rêve impossible, tu m'avais dans la peaume de ta main
Tout ce que tu avais à faire c'était de me dire de rester
Mais tu es reparti, puis tu es revenu et puis tu es reparti et puis tu es revenu
Encore et encore et à chaque fois c'est la même chose
Tout ce que tu avais à faire c'était de me dire de rester et je serai rester
Je serai rester pour toujours, toujours avec toi
Alors pourquoi tu es parti, pourquoi tu m'as laissé?
Ça va nous échapper entre les doigts, et un jour ou l'autre de toute façon, tout ça va s'arrêter
The lyrics of ZHU's song Palm of My Hand are about a failed relationship and the regret and longing that come with it. The repeated line "And I had you in the palm of my hand" reflects the singer's belief that they had control over the relationship and their partner's feelings, but ultimately lost them. The French verse adds an extra layer of emotion, with the singer expressing their disbelief that their dream of being with the person they loved could never be realized. They reminisce about their time together and wonder if their partner thinks of them too, but ultimately come to the realization that it's too late and the relationship has slipped away. The final line "Ça va nous échapper entre les doigts, et un jour ou l'autre de toute façon, tout ça va s'arrêter" translates to "It's going to slip away between our fingers, and one day anyway, all of this will end."
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the fragile nature of relationships and the importance of truly valuing the people we love before it's too late.

(I tried my best to translate for you guys) French to English.
I think I'm pursuing an impossible dream
I think it's not gonna work but... I believed in it anyway
I can see myself again, I see your eyes... I see your mouth... I see your hair, your face
I wonder if you think about it too
I wonder if you... You see me again when you close your eyes and when you dream
This is an impossible dream
You had me in the palm of your hand, all you had to do was to ask me to stay
But you went away, and then you came back
And then you went away, and then you came back
Again and again, and each time it's the same thing
(breathe, sigh)
All you had to do was to tell me to stay, and I would have stayed, I would have stayed forever, forever with you
So why did you go away? Why did you leave me?
It will slip through our fingers and one day or another anyway... All of this will stop

TRADUCCIÓN ESPAÑOL
Y yo te tenía en la palma de mi mano 🎵
Creo que estoy persiguiendo un sueño imposible
Pienso que esto no funcionará, pero lo creí de todos modos
Me veo a mí misma, veo tus ojos, veo tu boca, veo tu pelo, tu cara
Me pregunto si tú también lo estás pensando
Me pregunto si tú también...
Me ves de nuevo cuando cierras los ojos y cuando sueñas
Es un sueño imposible, tú me tenías en la palma de tu mano
Todo lo que tenías que hacer era decirme que me quedara
Pero te fuiste. Y regresaste, y después te fuiste de nuevo, y luego volviste
Una y otra vez, y cada vez es lo mismo
Todo lo que tenías que hacer era decirme que me quedara y yo me quedaría
Me quedaría para siempre, siempre contigo
Entonces, ¿Por qué te fuiste? ¿Por qué me dejaste?
Esto se nos escapará de las manos y tarde o temprano, de todos modos, todo esto se va a terminar

This fucking inspires me to write so here we go!
Am I drowning in the ocean, or falling from the sky?
I don’t know how to feel, I remember all the times, you
made me want to die.While the wind wisps me away, my emotional attachment remains
floating in the waves.I have imagined something beautiful from nothing, while trying
to be saved.You stabbed my soul full of holes, so I’m sinking either
way,You taught me how to fly and then you punctured it away.I don’t want to breathe, because the next exhale feels
like it may be my last,This could be the end, even though I have no end to hold
on to, I’m living in the past.

I think I'm pursuing an impossible dream
I think it will not work, but I believed it anyway
I see myself, I see your eyes, I see your mouth, I see your hair, your face
I wonder if you too think about it
I wonder if you too
You see me when you close your eyes and when you dream
It's an impossible dream, you had me in the peaume of your hand
All you had to do was tell me to stay
But you left, then you came back and then you left and then you came back
Again and again and each time it's the same
All you had to do was tell me to stay and I will stay
I will stay forever, always with you
So why did you leave, why did you leave me?
It's going to slip through our fingers, and someday anyway, it's all going to stop

To people who speaks spanish I´ll translate the last part of the song #greetingsfrommexico
Creo que estoy persiguiendo un sueño imposible
Creo que no va a funcionar, pero ... Creía en eso de todos modos
Puedo verme a mí mismo otra vez, veo tus ojos ... Veo tu boca ... Veo tu cabello, tu cara
Me pregunto si lo piensas también
Me pregunto si ... Me vuelves a ver cuando cierras los ojos y cuando sueñas
Este es un sueño imposible
Me tenías en la palma de tu mano, todo lo que tenías que hacer era pedirme que me quedara
Pero te fuiste, y luego volviste
Y luego te fuiste, y luego volviste
Una y otra vez, y cada vez es lo mismo
(respirar, suspirar)
Todo lo que tenía que hacer era decirme que me quedara, y me habría quedado, me habría quedado para siempre, para siempre contigo
Entonces, ¿por qué te fuiste? ¿Por qué me dejaste?
Se deslizará entre nuestros dedos y un día u otro de todos modos ... Todo esto se detendrá

Shes saying:
I think I'm chasing an impossible dream
I think it won't work but I believed it anyway
I see myself, I see your eyes, I see your mouth, I see your hair, your face
I wonder if you also think about it
I wonder if you too
You see me again when you close your eyes and when you dream
It's an impossible dream, you had me in the palm of your hand
All you had to do was tell me to stay
But you left, then you came back and then you left and then you came back
Over and over and over and over again, every time it's the same thing
All you had to do was tell me to stay and I would have stayed
I would've stayed forever, i would've stayed forever, forever with you
So why did you leave, why did you leave me?
It's gonna slip through our fingers, and one day or another anyway, it's all gonna stop

"This album isn’t about the next hit. It’s for the people who care about music.” -ZHU
The REALEST producer in years. ❤
@zodiac909
***** Nah.
@snowdaysrule2
That's exactly the experience I got from this album so it's interesting to hear that this was his vision for the album all along. I think this song best represents the album as a whole. So many instruments blended together that you don't typically get anymore in a modern production. It's so beautiful and Zhu totally nailed it on this album.
@michaelzissaleblanc1859
ditto
@ok-jt8bl
Yet there was still many articles criticising this album. They just made themselves look stupid. They just want bass
@matthewjalomo4980
The re is something about ZHU that makes you bring out your deepest desires in life. When I listen to his music, it makes me feel like I should stop holding back and do what I what in life. His music makes me feel successful in a way. It helps me imagine my goals in life and enables me to start going for them. It's hard to explain. Of course, everyone is different. Do what you truly want to do. :)
