[Verse 1]
Playing dumb with hand grenades
Like they won’t blow up in my face
Piece of cake to walk away
But little white lies won’t keep my safe
[Pre-chorus]
Safe in the bubble, you’ve got a pin and I know I’m in trouble
Safe in the bubble, but here we go again with these white knuckles
Oh oh
[Chours]
I, look down when your eyes meet mine
Even when the feels run high
Cause we go through this every time
But all I ever get is whi-i-i-i-ite, white knuckles,
Whi-i-i-i-ite, white knuckles
Whi-i-i-i-ite, white knuckles
Whi-i-i-i-ite, white knuckles
[Verse 2]
Seal my lips with superglue
Feel these eggshells under my shoes
Trigger finger on the loose
But I’m gun shy when I’m with you
[Pre-chorus]
Safe in the bubble, you’ve got a pin and I know I’m in trouble
Safe in the bubble, but here we go again with these white knuckles
Oh oh
[Chours]
I, look down when your eyes meet mine
Even when the feels run high
Cause we go through this every time
But all I ever get is whi-i-i-i-ite, white knuckles,
Whi-i-i-i-ite, white knuckles
Whi-i-i-i-ite, white knuckles
Whi-i-i-i-ite, white knuckles
[Bridge]
I’m biting nails behind your back
I’m gripping teacups til they crack
But you can never know why
No, you can never why
[Chours]
I, look down when your eyes meet mine
Even when the feels run high
Cause we go through this every time
But all I ever get is whi-i-i-i-ite, white knuckles,
Whi-i-i-i-ite, white knuckles
Whi-i-i-i-ite, white knuckles
Whi-i-i-i-ite, white knuckles

White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
Playing dumb with hand grenades
Like they won't blow up in my face
Piece of cake to walk away
But little white lies won't keep me safe
Safe in the bubble
You got a pin and I know I'm in trouble
Safe in the bubble
But here we go again, with these white knuckles
Oh, I look down when your eyes meet mine
Even when the feels run high
'Cause we go through this every time
But all I ever get is
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
Seal my lips with super-glue
Feel these eggshells under my shoes
Trigger finger on the loose
But I'm gun shy when I'm with you
Safe in the bubble
You got a pin and I know I'm in trouble
Safe in the bubble
But here we go again, with these white knuckles
Oh, I look down when your eyes meet mine
Even when the feels run high
'Cause we go through this every time
But all I ever get is
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
I'm biting nails behind your back
I'm gripping teacups till they crack
But, you can never know why
No, you can never know why
I look down when your eyes meet mine
Even when the feels run high
'Cause we go through this every time
But all I ever get is
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles
White, white knuckles

I was thinking about what this song means for a long time, and I think I have it.
White knuckles usually reffers to when your nervous, right? So why is au/ra nervous in this song?
and the first line about hand grenades: Why would au/ra be talking about grenades? And why does the singer look down when another person's eyes meet theirs?
Well, I think it's about somebody cheating on another person. The last line of the brigde: But you can never no why and then it does back into the chorous: I look down when your eyes meet mine. Basically: You can never know why i look down when your eyes meet mine. Looking down like that means feeling guilty, right?
guilty about cheating.
the hand grenade part means she's going out with other people bravely, not considering the cosequences and ignoring them. And she keeps on getting nervous, so she gets "white knuckes"
so that is my little speech. :D

I have an explenation for the lyrics! in the first song of the album (X Games) the first VERSE says "New hopeless romantics". I think that this means that she's falling in love with another contestant. They are on the same team, but that can change in a heartbeat. That is why she can't meet their eyes, she's fallen in love but if she admits it they will both be vulnerable, and easier to betray. If she holds theyre gaze for a long time, they might see that she is trying to push those feelings down, but they might rise at any moment, and if they don't return her affection and they find out, her heart will break, like a bubble popped with a pin. She is nervous, holding her sword so tight that her knuckles turn white.
