Strong Hand Lyrics
Why don't you tell me
What do you need?
There is a blank page
For you
Give me the bones of
What you believe
Maybe they'll save you
From me
Will I be the strong hand
Keeping you safe
Or will I break you
In half?
And you will never
Be under my thumb
But you are not your
Own man
See the way we all run
When we know it all off by heart
Play dead, wait it all out
Will we win or lose it this time?
When the pressure's building for a great white hope
Do you give up the things that you love?
And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole
Can you go back on your own word?
All of your brothers
They never died
For what you kill for
Slowly
How it will grind you
Into the ground
If you should try to
Hold me
See the way we all run
When we know it all off by heart
Play dead, wait it all out
Will we win or lose it this time?
When the pressure's building for a great white hope
Do you give up things you love?
And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole
Can you go back on your own word?
When the pressure's building for a great white hope
Do you give up things you love?
And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole
Can you go back on your own word?
What do you need?
There is a blank page
For you
What you believe
Maybe they'll save you
From me
Keeping you safe
Or will I break you
In half?
Be under my thumb
But you are not your
Own man
When we know it all off by heart
Play dead, wait it all out
Will we win or lose it this time?
Do you give up the things that you love?
And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole
Can you go back on your own word?
They never died
For what you kill for
Slowly
Into the ground
If you should try to
Hold me
When we know it all off by heart
Play dead, wait it all out
Will we win or lose it this time?
Do you give up things you love?
And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole
Can you go back on your own word?
Do you give up things you love?
And the pressure's building 'til it takes you whole
Can you go back on your own word?

Seems to be warning or telling someone that she may be the one who'll break them. She also seems to know he'll become dependent on her in some ways, even if it's not immediately apparent.
She also tells him how his devotion is going to leave him burned out and that others weren't foolish enough to go as far as he will for her. In the end, he's giving up his identity for her. She'll leave him, but he won't break his promises to love her, even if it kills him.
