| alt-J – Left Hand Free Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Everyone seems to be thinking of this song as relating to masturbation, and I understand how you could think that (Well, your left hand's free And your right's in a grip) but, you are forgetting what the next lines are saying (With another left hand Watch his right hand slip Towards his gun, oh, no) The visual image this gives is two men shaking/holding hands (which is a sign of trust.) Your right hand in his left hand. Your left hand is free (representing how you trust this person, you are free of doubt) yet his right hand is slipping towards a gun (which could be anything that could ruin someone's trust.) |
