| alt-J – Left Hand Free Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I think there are a few changes to be made to the lyrics: Reprise: ...Pick a petal eenie meenie miney moe And Flower you're the chosen one “Pick a petal” seems to refer to removing petals from a flower one-by-one to decide whether a chosen person does or doesn’t love you: “she loves me, she loves me not”. He refers to the woman/girl as a flower and this is related. Verse 1: I tackle, we tussle And oh my days we're rolling My right hand's gripped on his Colt single-action army It is a brawl scene from western times that ends in a old fashioned duel. The Colt SAA revolver is commonly associated with cowboys and the Wild West. Thus, as I do see the similarities and direct references to masturbation, I do think that there is more to this song... During the last chorus: "Well YOUR left hand's free Well MY left hand's free" Left hand...Marriage...Maybe... You decide! |

I see this song in the following way.. A shy guy, saw a beautiful girl on the dancefloor (or a crowded place) and he would love for her to only notice him so that they can strike up a conversation, but he is shy, so needs her to make the first move. "Crossing my fingers" She is provoking him, but she's much more confident than he is. She lets him know that she can get any one of the other guys "Eyes keep shifting to the boys that don't matter" He still has his fingers crossed. He will do anything to get the chance with her "I'd take one in the temple" Very strong words... Maybe a gunshot to the side of the head. |
