Story Behind The Song

Just an emotional beat, and the lyrics were something I had written, that fit well.

Song Description

A song about holding on to your faith, or whatever it is you believe in, through the worst of times, and seeing the light on the other side after.

Lyrics

Hold On Lyrics

Verse 1

I?m at the end of my rope and, still tugging
Trying to hold on, to grab onto something
Make something out of nothing, so here I am
Bruised, battered and beaten, crawling if I can?t stand
I understand your plan is to bring me down
Make me so I?m worth nothing, go ahead watch me drown
But what you don?t see is, when you walk away
That these games that you play are gonna catch up one day
And one day comes sooner than you even think
Before you even speak, before you even blink
And you?ll get it then, it?ll finally make sense
Everything is full circle, caught in the present tense
And when it comes, now, I couldn?t script it better
Your spoken lost letters is words that seem clever
But they?re really not, and now your caught in a spot
And it?s time for you to see how the temperature gets hot

Chorus

Hold on, and apply pressure
The bleeding will stop before the last measure
Hold on, cause things will change
Even after a drought, the sky will rain
Hold on, cause it?s all you got
Keep your faith strong until your heart stops
Hold on, everybody needs something
Reach out for real, better times are coming

Verse 2

It?s icing on the cake, to know I?m here
I?ve been through so much in life, that now it?s clear
Clear to me, the picture that once was faded
I was self degraded, encapsulated
Caught with thoughts, that inside burned of hatred
To the point, where I could not escape it
Became complacent, life?s dark within the basement
Dealt with pressures that people have created
For what though? They don?t even know me
They want to bring me down cause I view differently
Never that, they can try as they may
Sing their own praises like they got something to say
I?m not listening to opinions or suggestions, fuck the questions
I?m holding onto life lessons
I break down walls that stand in front of me
You ain?t going nowhere, if you can?t see

Chorus

Verse 3



I?m holding on, but I?m in need of treatment
It?s too much pain, and now I need something decent
The worlds overdosed, and we?re all comatose
Motionless all alone, clutching a wilting rose
That?s about to perish, now is anything cherished?
Living life dead to each other is rather garish
But yo I hold on cause I?ve done it before
Everything will change, it?s a matter less or more
Of when where and why, blue clouds and sky
Live for today cause tomorrow you might die
But you might, and so I hold on
And those that?s there with me, this is your song

Chorus (2x)
