​hand solo Lyrics

[Intro]
Grease sheets, leave my right hand free
It’s hard to be alone
Deep heat, turn the lights on in my hole
I love this

[Verse 1]
My finger touch
I've been feeling stuff
Dark meat, skin pleat, I'm working
Oh, monkey glove
You threw away two pints of blood
It's alright, I'm jerking

[Pre-Chorus]
I love this
Grease sheets, leave my right hand free
It's hard to be alone
Deep heat, turn the lights on in my hole

[Chorus]
When I'm alone (Onanism)
It's automatic, oh
I dig for life in the eye of my thighs
I can't believe petite mort
I'm a slave at your door
And I feel to be free, oh, the irony
[Verse 2]
When I go blind, will you keep in mind
I had fun, I got it on
Endorphins
I gave it all, but under patriarchal law
I'm gonna die a virgin


[Pre-Chorus]
I love this
Grease sheets, leave my right hand free
It's hard to be alone
Deep heat, turn the lights on in my hole

[Chorus]
When I'm alone (Onanism)
It's automatic, oh
I dig for life in the eye of my thighs
I can't believe petite mort
I'm a slave at your door
And I feel to be free, oh, the irony
(I love this)

Genius Annotation

Hackman uses poetic imagery and metaphors to describe female masturbation. She seems to mention this song in an interview with Dork before it was released:

It’s quite sexual; there are songs about masturbation and fucking – it’s a really funny record

As Any Human Friend has been labelled a breakup album, this song suggests how one can deal with the lack of sexual intimacy after leaving a partner.

Genius Answer

This idea that you haven’t lost your virginity unless you have sex with a guy…Well, how do you define having sex? What actually is sex? A line like that is definitely political. There, I know exactly what I’m doing… I think we need more wank anthems, especially for women…The more the merrier, that’s how I feel!

DIY Magazine


One lyric that will get overlooked because I don’t think many people are gonna understand the reference, but the first half of the song is looking at old wives’ tales about masturbation. One of them I read is that you get hairy hands if you masturbate too much. There’s a line in there that says, ‘Oh, monkey glove’—it’s talking about having hairy hands. It’s quite abstract but it sounds sexual as well. It sounds like something you might call your vagina. And it’s quite gross, that song. ‘Dark meat, skin pleat’—it’s all quite visceral. My favorite lyric is obviously ‘Under patriarchal law, I’m gonna die a virgin.’ That is insane, that is crazy! I feel like people don’t take my sexual experiences as real. The song is also a massive f**k-you, because it’s very funny and empowered with a bit of sass.
