In the parts that follow this progression: You toss all the mornings lost to the clouds and you watch it go                 just clip the open A string on the way to the following chord rather than play the chord itself. Great band great song great lyrics.....enjoy                                   I just shook the handshake I just sealed the deal                                      I’ll try not to let them         Take everything they can steal People always told me           Don’t forget your roots        I know I can feel them underneath my leather boots                           You toss all the mornings lost to the clouds and you watch it go                   Your fairweather friends on a parachute binge get lost when the wind blows         The handshake’s stuck on the tip of my tongue It tastes like death but it looks like fun I was a loner I was just waiting   by     myself      When you warped temptress Rose to bring me happiness and wealth                      Black tears black smile black credit cards and shoes                        You can call all the people you want But it’s you who’s being used      Under your black eyes honey Right beneath your nose   A curse on all creation Every single thing you know               White smoke white light white marble on the floor                            It would only take a few seconds of darkness to figure out what’s in store                   Little girl Ohhhh You convince yourself that you want it but you don’t know                    You keep trying to wash the blood from your hands but it won’t go                  We’re gonna keep you on the run We got the handshake under our tongue We got the handshake under our tongue We got the handshake under our tongue We got the handshake under our tongue We got the handshake x15

Cette chanson aborde le thème des engagements et des promesses, où l'on ressent le poids des choix faits et des liens établis. Le protagoniste évoque une certaine désillusion face aux relations superficielles, tout en cherchant à se souvenir de ses racines. Il décrit aussi la lutte entre l'attrait pour les plaisirs éphémères et la réalité amère qui l'accompagne. Le contexte semble s'inscrire dans une période de tourments personnels, où les ambitions et les faux amis ne font que compliquer la quête d'authenticité. La dualité entre le fun et la douleur est palpable, et l’artiste souligne l’importance de se rappeler qui l’on est vraiment face aux tentations de la vie moderne.
