When you move away from home, it can get really, really lonely, especially when the people you cared about have long since left you behind. It makes everything feel pointless- it even makes being sad over that pointless feeling feel pointless. Regardless, something had to be done with the feeling, so that's what brought this song about.

Simply a young love song.

I associate hands with "doing." There's nothing you can really "do" about heartbreak, there's no actionable solution for that pain. Your hands can't protect you, but they can do a whole lot of other (probably detrimental) things to cope!

Depressive thoughts with physical illness metaphors.

That sinking feeling when you can feel your lover withdrawing from you and you already know what's coming, so you just have to wait.
