Song is purely just about not giving a shit. Not very deep

I'm Not Fazed

This song is a song about meeting new people, not gelling with those people/gelling with them for a while but then no longer gelling with them and then meeting more people

Naarm/Melbourne band ‘SKIPTONS’ have begun a transition from their indie rock/surf rock foundation to explore the darker and moodier sounds of post-punk and shoe-gaze while still hanging on to traces of indie rock that established the band in the Melbourne scene. ‘I Need Your Hand In This’ will be a milestone single for ‘SKIPTONS’, being the first single since exploring darker tones and themes, as well as being the most lyrically and instrumentally raw song the band has had to offer to date. Written by Finn Barnes, Jordan Vail and James Kronberger, ‘I Need Your Hand In This’ is a punchy, violent and wild sounding track which lyrically tries to make an understanding of the spectrum of feelings that one may experience post an argument. 

‘I Need Your Hand In This’ is undeniably instrumentally inspired by Fontaines DC’s album ‘Skinty Fia’ with the gothic-indie blend of guitars and dissonance. Influence also heard on the song can be found in the dirty, driving bass lines that are heard throughout the Viagra Boys and IDLES respective discographies, as well as the chaotic synthesisers, guitar noise and primal vocals primarily heard at the end of the song, aimed to end with a feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty.
