in my opinion, it's kind of hard for me to interpret the meaning of the verses but from the chorus it's obvious that whoever's he's talking about is a complicated person and is hard for him to figure out (rubik's cube) and that she's fragile (made of paper and glue). "you can buy it in cans, tin cans" is perhaps a reference to collecting cans and selling them for money. i guess this means that he'll work hard to get her? as for the "hands reversed" part; i think i might be reading too much into this, but maybe the girl's left handed. left handed people tend to use the right side of their brain, as opposed to right handed people who use the left side of thier brain. i heard somewhere that the right side of the brain deals more with intuitive and randome and creative, while the left side of the brain is more logical thinking. this is probably why he doesn't understand her, he sees things more logically and she's more spontaneous
