| Twenty One Pilots – Guns For Hands Lyrics | 11 years ago |

i broke this song down verse by verse in a notebook of mine, and here's my interpretation: i think the 1st verse is talking about the realization of who you have become and how you turned out (depressed/suicidal), and you're promising people you won't turn out like this again, even though you don't mean it. and the 2nd verse and chorus basically says that he (Tyler) knows that they're are depressed and suicidal people out there, and he's concerned and scared. the 3rd verse, to me, is basically saying to take life slowly, take time to heal, and you don't have to do it on your own. and that we can escape from whatever is keeping us down ("out the window") and go where there is hope, but you won't get there unless you're willing to try. i wasn't sure on the 4th verse, but what i got from it is that we grew up and traded our happiness for depression (turned our hands to guns, thumbs for ammunition) and when Tyler mentions the sun setting and putting his fingers to his head, i think he's explaining how he gets at night: suicidal (might not be true but that's what i got from it). and he's telling all the kids who self-harm to try to create music instead and fight. yeah, i'm not sure on the 4th one. overall, i'm sure it's an anti-suicide song. also, i think it's titled "Guns For Hands" because we use our hands for everything, it's all we use. but there are people out that only use/want to use guns instead, and "put their fingers to their heads". that is my opinion. |
