Hold Steady
Hold Steady: Embracing Life's Struggles and Triumphs
Lyrics
From sold out rooms to dead saloons
Transition from success to failure, from thriving venues to empty ones.
With my knees bruised from the floor
Physical strain and hardship expressed through bruised knees.
Screaming to the heavens what the hell was this all for
Questioning the purpose of life and expressing frustration to the heavens.
When all of this is over I know ill see you again
Hope for a reunion after challenging times, reflecting on surviving difficulties.
We'll talk about the bad times and how we survived them
Anticipation of discussing tough times and how they were overcome in future conversations.
And I will hold you in my arms and kiss your face
Expressing a desire for physical closeness and affection in the future.
Times the only thing that can determine what's replaced
Recognizing that time plays a role in healing and replacing negative experiences.
You know bells they ring for everything
Observation about the significance of bells ringing for various life events.
Birth and love and wart some point you're forgiven
Mention of forgiveness in the context of birth, love, and overcoming struggles.
Its the life that you fought for
Acknowledgment of the value of life fought for, possibly referring to personal battles.
Just hold steady boys
Encouragement to stay resilient and endure challenges.
Just hold steady boys
Reiteration of the call to hold steady amidst difficulties.
Do the work and put your head down
Advice to focus on work and stay humble without indulging in pride.
This aint no time for pride
Stressing that the current situation requires determination, not pride.
Just hold steady boys
Reiteration of the call to hold steady and maintain resilience.
Just hold steady boys
Continued emphasis on staying steady despite challenges.
From cancelled tours to bolted doors
Shift from canceled plans to a defensive position with doors bolted.
With my back pressed to the wall
Physical and emotional pressure against a metaphorical wall, questioning life's purpose.
Screaming to the heavens what the hell was this all for
Expressing frustration to the heavens again in a challenging situation.
When all of this is over
Hope for returning to work after the challenges subside.
Well get back to work again
Anticipation of singing about surviving tough times in the future.
Well sing about the bad times and how we survived them
Imagining holding someone close and finding comfort after difficult times.
And I will hold you in my arms and kiss your face
Recognition that time determines healing and what replaces challenging experiences.
Times the only thing that can determine what's replaced
Reiteration of the significance of bells ringing for life events.
You know bells they ring for everything
Reiterating forgiveness in the context of birth, love, and overcoming hardships.

Il raise my glass thru char and ash from the fires we put out
Raising a glass as a symbolic gesture through challenges and struggles.
From now until were buried
Recognizing the temporary nature of all things until burial.
Its all just temporary so
