- Hand In My Pocket LyricsI'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby
And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry, baby
And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chicken shit
I'm sick but I'm pretty, baby
And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing a piano
And what it all comes down to my dear friends, yeah
Is that everything is just fine fine fine
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful, baby
And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry, baby
And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
And what it all comes down to
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chicken shit
I'm sick but I'm pretty, baby
And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing a piano
And what it all comes down to my dear friends, yeah
Is that everything is just fine fine fine
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab

✔️
When we focus on what the lyrics are trying to say, Alanis Morissette's 'Hand in My Pocket song' presents a paradoxical and uncertain life as the core message. The emotions and situations are represented as opposites but at the same time there is a balance between them. A hand-in-pocket gesture is a way to visualize the mixing of emotions with the performing of high-five, flick, and piano, which are the different actions of the other hand. This shows that one is going through life's complexities with mixed feelings of confidence and vulnerability. Throughout the song lyrics, hope, empowerment, freedom, and joy are the major themes that the singer wants to convey. Still, on the other hand, life contradictions and acceptance and resilience are the main points of the song too. Although the lyrics reveal some mature themes and personal struggle, they do not contain explicit language, violence, or drug use. The mentioning of getting 'drunk' and 'flicking a cigarette' are indications of some adult themes that might need parental guidance.

To me this song reflects the parallels in life and how we respond to them according to our experiences and circumstances. I just love the inflections of her voice and her style of singing!

As a guy, I get a LOT of flack for liking Alanis. This song reminds me I could care less what other people think.
