Cover art for The Hand That Held Me Down lyrics by Two Gallants

To me the lyrics seem to be talking about a bad relationship that ended with suicide. The first two verses are talking about the relationship, the second two sound like suicide.

"And on the hills that held our childhood the flowers grow there still You lay beneath them pushing weeds and I guess you always will" Pushing flowers up means dead/burried in the ground.. "weeds" used in this case seems to say he's angry about it.

"And ever since you epitaph was spattered on my wall No-one comes to call They can't stand the stench"
