Hold on to Me
Embrace the Night: A Soulful Anthem of Defiance and Unity
Lyrics
Let's rip it til the money's half gone
Intending to spend money until there's only half left
Burn the rest to keep ourselves warm
Using the remaining money to keep warm by burning it
Piss out on the president's lawn
Disrespecting authority by urinating on the president's lawn
Won't leave our halos on
Refusing to conform to perceived goodness or virtue
I'm passing on the prodigal son
Choosing not to follow the traditional path of redemption like the prodigal son in the Bible
I swear to god he's got it all wrong
Believing that the prodigal son's story is misunderstood or misinterpreted
Heaven sent but having no fun
Being divinely sent but not enjoying life
Leave me in the mud
Prefer to be in a messy or less-than-ideal situation
Hold on to me, hold on to me
Repetition emphasizing the plea to hold on tightly
Hold on to me, hold on to me
-Hold on to me, hold on to me
-Hold on to me, hold on to me
-They won't take us by surprise tonight
Not being caught off guard or surprised
I'll standing by, standing by, standing by
Ready and waiting
If it's the last thing that I do in life
Willing to do anything to ensure the connection or bond is not broken
Put your hand in mine, hand in mine, hand in mine
Asking for reassurance by holding hands
I'd love to dream about tomorrow
Desire to envision the future, but feeling stuck or restricted
But there's no place to go and they're past the line, past the line, past the line
Feeling constrained or limited in options, being past the point of opportunity
Will this be the night the light flickers out
Uncertainty about whether the end is near
Will this be the last time I hear the sound
Questioning if this is the final moment
Of your voice in my ear
Recalling the fading memories of someone's voice
Was once so loud, it's fading out
Once a loud voice, now diminishing or disappearing
Hold on to me, hold on to me
Repeatedly pleading to hold on tightly, emphasizing the urgency
Hold on to me, hold on to me
-Hold on to me, hold on to me
-Hold on to me, hold on to me
-Hold on to me, hold on to me
-Hold on to me, hold on to me
-Hold on to me, hold on to me
-Hold on to me, hold on to me
-Hold on to me, hold on to me
-Hold on to me, hold on to me
-Hold on to me, hold on to me
-Hold on to me, hold on to me
