I think this song is definitely more about the scientific definition of "entropy" if, for no other reason, than that the album is titled Matter+Form. The idea here, I believe, is that someone in a certain state of degeneration will keep spiraling down if there is no one around to catch them. He's making a point that God may be there for people at certain times, but can't help them when they really need him. The only thing left to do is "SCREAM TO THE TUNE OF THE BACKGROUND NOISE!!!" |

| VNV Nation – From My Hands Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I got a weird impression while listening very closely to this song one night. At first it would seem to be about someone learning to let go of a deceased loved one. But then, take a closer look at the lyrics. To me this song seems to be sung by someone that is already dead in an attempt to console his grieving friends. When he says, "Hush now, let it go now, there's no need for sad goodbyes" he sounds less like someone who is in mourning, but rather someone who is being mourned. All of the words about moving on can be interpreted from two different points of view. One, obviously, is the surviving loved ones must learn to move on with their lives, but the other seems to be the deceased. He is accepting that he can't be with everyone he knew, and that he must try to believe that moving on into the next life is the best thing he can do. He's letting the world he left behind 'fall from his hands.' Everyone can interpret the song however he or she wishes, but this idea, to me, is much more powerful because it is a means of comforting real people that have faced a heartbreaking loss. It also feels like it fits better with the overall theme of the album, from it being otherworldly (faith). |
