Discover the story of the song > Picking Up Hands – Quadeca

The protagonist is in a room, looking at the walls and a poster. They see a swinging lamp, and feel the weight of their footsteps as they walk on the dusty floor. Suddenly, they see their mother's eyes for the second time. They remember crawling on the same carpet and being washed in the same bucket. They gave all their time to their partner, trying to understand things, but it feels like they've been standing far away and don't want to go another day like this. They mention a basket that their partner carried them in and how they need their partner to be nearby. The protagonist feels distant and scared, and talks about an old tree they used to climb but can no longer do so because gravity has changed. They want their partner to follow them closely and show them where they've been. They see another light under their partner's door, different from before. They mention the room, wall, and poster again, along with the swinging lamp and their footsteps leaving marks on the floor. They see another light under the door, this time different from before. They reflect on how they thought they would have answers by now, but it seems like there are unspoken agreements that only make sense until you say them out loud.
