I love Yoni, because he just writes about his life, and just happens to be amazing at it. Like some of their other songs, i believe this is another healthy dose of self-analysis. Unlike a lot of his other lyrics, he lays this one out pretty clearly."these hands, are my father's hands but smaller,soaked in paint thinner,until they're so dry coming together,they make the sound of resisting each other
a shrill squeal like two moving rubber, tires touching,hide nothing, hide nothing" I think it was mentioned that this is about his various compulsions (hand washing, clothes,etc.) To me, the second verse is just saying that whats differentiating him from his father, or anyone else for that matter, are the things that make him unique. And the line "hide nothing" kind of reveals it all, everyone has things to hide, but just show it, show what makes you an individual, good or bad. This is just my interpretation of this song, I'm probably wrong, I don't care. I respect Yoni and the others so much for what they do. Why has helped me through a lot of hard times.
