Sometimes you get so used to defending yourself that you forget your hands are still clenched. Even when someone is trying to help.
“Palms To Fists” by SAInts Like You starts with that tension. The need to stand your ground, speak louder, and push back against whatever keeps pushing you. But somewhere along the way, holding on becomes its own burden. You find yourself asking God for peace while keeping your guard up against everything.
Piano, warm Hammond organ, and a slow gospel sway carry the song toward the moment those hands begin to open again. There’s room for mercy. Room to receive something. And maybe enough faith to stop bracing for the next hit.
