In an interview with Drowned in Sound, Channy explains:
This song is based around a love that’s not mutual. I sing, “I want my hand to be held / you feel it / he don’t feel me”. That song is built around the beat and the bassline of the track.
DiS: Is it about any specific relationship?
It was a...
Top coat, top coat
Callow
Blood lines, bloodline
So shallow
Griever, griever
Wore a sine wave
Heresay, heresay
Where you lie me
I want my hand to be held
You feel it
He don’t feel me
Lie
Stolen, stolen
Where your days end
Promise, promise
Now you sigh low
I want my hand to be held
You feel it
He don’t feel me
Lie
