Holding You
Navigating Love's Complexity: egg routine's 'Holding You' Meaning
Lyrics
It was so clear what to do when I wasn't you
Expressing clarity in actions when not in the current state or identity.
Just be somebody who could be with you
Desire to be someone compatible and close to the listener.
Now it seems we may have met too soon
Suggesting that their meeting might have happened prematurely.
A lack of space that brought us together
Connection formed due to limited space or a facade preventing separation.
Or saving face that won't let us part
Reference to a dilemma: maintaining appearance versus ending the relationship.
No eye watches the sparrow
Symbolic line, implying that their situation may not attract attention.
Still, everything is so hard
Despite the lack of external scrutiny, the relationship is challenging.
Holding you, holding me back
Acknowledging that holding onto the relationship is hindering personal growth.
Holding you, holding me back
Repetition emphasizing the constraint imposed by the relationship.
Holding me, holding you back
Switching perspective, indicating mutual restrictions in the relationship.
I want nothing to do with not knowing you
Expressing a desire to avoid the uncertainty of not knowing the listener.
To feel simple or cynical all the time
Desire for emotional clarity, either simplicity or embracing cynicism.
But I'm still the same, I'm nothing new
Despite changes, the speaker remains fundamentally unchanged.
No, I don't think that we met too soon
Contradicting earlier sentiment, suggesting meeting wasn't too soon.
Holding you, holding me back
Reiteration of the idea that the relationship is holding them back.
Holding you, holding me back
Repetition emphasizing the restrictive nature of the relationship.
Holding me, holding you back
Switching perspective again, indicating mutual hindrance.
It was so clear, what to do
Repeating the sentiment from the first line, underscoring the clarity lost.
Just be somebody who could be with you
Reiterating the desire to be someone who could be with the listener.
