Hands all over the eastern border
You know what? I think we're falling
From composure
Hands all over western culture
Ruffling feathers and turning eagles into vultures
Got my arms around baby brother
Put your hands away
Your gonna kill your mother, kill your mother
And I love her
Hands all over the coastal waters
The crew men thank her
Then lay down their oily blanket
Hands all over the inland forest
In a striking motion trees fall down
Like dying soldiers
Hands all over the peasants daughter
She's our bride
She'll never make it out alive
Hands all over words I utter
Change them into what you want to
Like balls of clay
Put your hands away
Your gonna kill your mother
And I love her

What is the meaning behind Hands All Over lyrics?
When we focus on what the lyrics are trying to say, Soundgarden's 'Hands All Over' is a song that centralizes the topics of both societal and personal corruption and hence makes use of 'hands' as a metaphorical instrument for both control and destruction. It makes the contrast between love and harm which in return shows the paradox of loving someone and at the same time contributing to their ruin. The lyrics of Hands all over underscore the themes of love, empowerment, angst, social commentary and heartbreak in great detail. Simultaneously, the song points out the necessity of control and manipulation, destruction and corruption, protection and love and warning and caution. The lyrics feature suggestive themes and imagery that could be considered inappropriate for young audiences. The frequent reference of 'hands all over' and the phrase 'You're gonna kill your mother' indicate a certain degree of intensity and mature themes that justify a PG-13 rating. ✔️
