Hold Tough
Hold Tough: Embracing Resilience in Life's Trials
Lyrics
When I turned 15, determined to keep
At the age of 15, committed to maintaining a low self-image.
My head lower than my self-esteem
Expressing the intention to keep humility greater than self-worth.
I had a plan, but I was held back by acting
Had a plan but hindered by pretending acne was a significant obstacle.
Like acne was the worst thing to happen
Regretting the emphasis on acne as a major problem in the past.
If I could go back, leave a note that
Reflecting on the past, considering leaving advice for the younger self.
Might've told that teen boy the stuff that
Possibly regretting not providing guidance to the teenage self.
I didn't know then
Admitting ignorance during adolescence.
I'd write two words - all he'd need
Suggesting two crucial words for the younger self's understanding.
To know this ain't how it'll always be
Encouraging the idea that current difficulties are not permanent.
Hold Tough, fill your heart with mud
Encouragement to endure hardships, using a metaphor of filling the heart with resilience.
Stitch up every cut when you've had enough and stand
Advising to mend emotional wounds after reaching a breaking point and to stand strong.
Stand strong when the pressures up and
Emphasizing resilience during challenging times.
Damn this flood by holding tough
Expressing determination to withstand difficulties.
(we've got some work to do...)
Acknowledging that there is work to be done in facing challenges.
I did what Simon said
Following advice given by someone named Simon.
I had plans inside my head
Having plans conceived internally.
Planted by handsome men
Mentioning plans influenced by attractive individuals.
But in the act of cashin' in
Describing a moment of capitalizing on opportunities but with a cost.
I gave half of my fraction of passion left
Sharing a portion of diminished passion due to past actions.
It's not pretty, it's not trendy to act like this
Highlighting the unappealing nature of certain behaviors.
I'm no natural, I have to practice it
Admitting a lack of natural talent, needing practice.
You're not ready, I get that, but here it is
Acknowledging the audience may not be prepared, presenting things as they are.
Stick with me or be stuck with what you get
Offering a choice between staying together or accepting the consequences.
Hold Tough, fill your heart with mud
Reiterating the advice to endure difficulties and stay resilient.
Stitch up every cut when you've had enough and stand
Encouraging the act of healing and standing firm under pressure.
Stand strong when the pressures up and
Emphasizing the need for strength during challenging situations.
Damn this flood by holding tough
Expressing resilience in the face of overwhelming challenges.
Hold Tough, fill your heart with mud
Repeating the advice to endure difficulties and stay resilient.
Stitch up every cut when you've had enough and stand
Encouraging the act of healing and standing firm under pressure.
Stand strong when the pressures up and
Emphasizing the need for strength during challenging situations.
Damn this flood by holding tough
Expressing resilience in the face of overwhelming challenges.
Hold Tough, fill your heart with mud
Repeating the advice to endure difficulties and stay resilient.
Stitch up every cut when you've had enough and stand
Encouraging the act of healing and standing firm under pressure.
Stand strong when the pressures up and
Emphasizing the need for strength during challenging situations.
Damn this flood by holding tough
Expressing resilience in the face of overwhelming challenges.
