Hold Me Close When You Can
Embracing Solitude: Discovering Inner Strength in Efterklang's Melody
Lyrics
Hold yourself to yourself
Encouragement to maintain self-reliance and inner strength
Hold me close when you can
Request to be held closely whenever possible
And it floods and it builds
Describing an overwhelming emotional experience that intensifies
And you can't go on
Reaching a point of emotional exhaustion where one cannot continue
Even love is a string
Love is depicted as a connection, possibly delicate like a string
Let us rush to the spring
Expressing a desire to embrace life and its vitality
Looking close and within
Suggesting introspection and close examination of oneself
When we can't go on
Addressing challenges when it seems impossible to continue
Standing still in a stream
Metaphorically standing still in the midst of life's challenges
From a mouth of extreme
Referring to an extreme situation or emotion
Even now when you enter grace
Even in moments of grace, maintaining self-identity is essential
Hold yourself to yourself
Reiteration of the importance of self-connection
Whoa
Repetitive vocalizations, possibly conveying strong emotions
Whoa
-Oh-oh-oh
-Oh-oh-oh
-Oh-oh-oh-oh
-Oh-oh-oh
-Oh-oh-oh
-Oh-oh-oh-oh
-In the mind when you trip
Referencing the mind and its experiences during a journey
Even in your highs with the figs
Even during high points, challenges may be present
And you wear the wild 'cause you win
Wearing the wild could imply embracing unpredictability when victorious
In your mind when you trip
Repetition of the theme of the mind and its experiences
Even in your highs with the figs
Continuation of the idea that challenges persist even in highs
And you wear the wild when you win, oh
Embracing the wildness when achieving success
Hold yourself
An appeal to maintain one's self amidst challenges
Hold yourself to yourself
Reiteration of the importance of self-holding
Hold me close when you can
Repeating the request to be held closely when possible
