| Benjamin Francis Leftwich – Atlas Hands Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
What I get out of this beautiful song is that some guy feels trapped by the world around him. Although he wants to get away, he still loves his girl and wonders if she'll always be waiting. He is asking to be taken to the docks to a ship without a destination. He wants all the hardship to go away and so he wants to travel to a place where he can "Jump right in and swim until you're(he's) free." He will always remember her because he will always love his home. Then, he ends the song saying "I've got a plan I've got an atlas in my hands I'm gonna turn when I listen to the lessons that I've learned." This makes me think that he knows why he is leaving and that he wont get lost. He has a reason for his departure, and once he fulfills that reason, he will come back. This is my interpretation, but I don't understand the connotation behind thw word "hands" and whys its used so much. I am also confused as to these lyrics. "Money came like rain to your hands while you were waiting For that cold long promsie to appear People in the churches started singing above their hands They say "My God is a good God and he cares" Whats are your oppinions? |
