Sleeper Awake Lyrics

Lyric discussion by meg; 

Cover art for Sleeper Awake lyrics by Sarah Blasko

this is amazinggggggg.

i think the lines about using your hands are not associated with sex or anything like that, but rather about taking action - the theme of the whole song, "waking up" from a state of insolence & hopelessness.

sarah is playing on the saying to "get one's hands dirty" - to do hard work.

I think you're right Meg; particularly considering that the line later changes to "Use your hands don't be afraid of standing up for something".
