ASL Music Video: All I Want by Damon Timm - YouTube

Would somebody help me with the sign at 1:13- she has a one hand to her chest, and the other hand is a sort of flat claw, going off to the side.

I also could use help with the sign used about 1.22 here- left hand is an s shape, and dominant hand is approximately like it would be to sign touch or feel. If her hand was flat, that would be touch, right?

I love this video, it seems very clever to me. As I understand it- she starts using SEE and is almost obliterated by the words. Then she switches to ASL, and changes the lyrics, asking to be accepted, really accepted for who she is, deaf and equal. At least, I think that's the gist of it.
