Hanging On
Yearning Echoes: Unraveling the Emotions in Active Child's 'Hanging On'
Lyrics
You know we can't get away
You acknowledge that escaping from the current situation is impossible.
Because I'm calling your name
You are actively seeking the attention or presence of someone by calling their name.
Every day I feel this pain
Every day, there is a persistent emotional distress or suffering.
But you just turn and walk away
Despite the pain, the person you seek turns away and avoids confronting the situation.
I just can't keep hanging on
You express difficulty in continuing to hold on or maintain the relationship.
To you and me
This line emphasizes the struggle in the relationship between "you and me."
I just don't know what is wrong
There is uncertainty about the cause of the issues between the two individuals.
With you and me
The ambiguity and confusion in the relationship are reiterated.
Touch me and then turn away
Physical touch is followed by emotional withdrawal or rejection.
Put your hands into the flame
A metaphorical expression of willingly facing pain or difficulty.
Tell me if you feel this pain
You seek confirmation if the other person shares the same emotional pain.
'cause I don't want to be your ball and chain
Expressing a desire not to be a burden or restriction in the relationship.
I just can't keep hanging on
Reiteration of the challenge in holding onto the relationship.
To you and me
Continuation of the struggle and difficulty in the relationship.
I just don't know what is wrong
Uncertainty persists about the underlying problems in the relationship.
With you and me
Repeated expression of uncertainty and confusion between the individuals.
With you and me
Reiteration of the challenges and issues faced by "you and me."
Me
The speaker emphasizes their own existence or identity.
Oh oh
An exclamation or expression of emotional intensity.
Me
Repetition of the speaker's identity, possibly emphasizing individuality.
Pain
The mention of "pain" reinforces the ongoing emotional distress.
I just can't keep hanging on
Reiteration of the difficulty in maintaining the relationship.
To you and me
Continued emphasis on the struggle and challenges faced by "you and me."
I just don't know what is wrong
Perplexity persists regarding the root cause of the relationship issues.
I just can't keep hanging on
Repetition of the challenge in holding onto the relationship.
To you and me
Continuation of the struggle and difficulty in the relationship.
I just don't know what what is wrong
Uncertainty prevails regarding the nature of the problems in the relationship.
I just can't keep hanging on
Reiteration of the ongoing challenge in maintaining the relationship.
To you and me
Final emphasis on the difficulty in holding onto the relationship between "you and me."
