Classic cryptic Jawbox. Here we have a loss of hope, multiple uses of the images of hands and fire, and the feeling of fear or danger. I can’t really get anything specific from this except that it’s probably about the fear of risks. Maybe it’s less innocent than that and it has something to do with arson or something, though the last verse sounds more like unfulfilling acquiescence. It seems like this person both enjoys and hates danger and risk, and he is somehow addicted to it.
