The Hold
Breaking the Chains: Navigating Life's Circles and Battling Inner Demons
Lyrics
You hide behind a smile
You conceal your true emotions behind a smile.
Your heart is always feeling heavy
Your heart is burdened with a constant sense of weight or sorrow.
Nothing's either black or white to those eyes
Your perspective acknowledges shades of gray, rejecting simple categorizations of right or wrong.
Deprived of feeling
You experience a lack of emotional connection or sensation.
You still survive
In spite of emotional deprivation, you manage to endure and survive.
But you don't feel alive
You exist, but the vibrancy and vitality of life elude you.
It feels like life keeps running in circles
Life seems repetitive, lacking progress or positive change.
Every now and then we get a glimpse of hope
Occasionally, there are glimpses of optimism, moments of hope.
And see it glow
These moments of hope are visible and radiant.
We wish life could get better
Expressing a desire for an improvement in life conditions.
Depression's got a tighter hold
Depression has a strong and constricting grip on your life.
Let go
An urging to release or overcome the hold of depression.
They say they're here for you
Others claim to be supportive, but your inner struggles go unnoticed.
No one hears you but you're screaming
You express your pain through screams, yet it seems unheard.
Overthinking everything is a lie
Challenging the validity of overthinking, suggesting it as a falsehood.
You want to end it
There's a contemplation of ending the suffering.
You still survive
In the face of hardship, you persist and survive.
And can't stop wondering why
A lingering question about the reasons for enduring the struggles.
It feels like life keeps running in circles
A repetition of the feeling that life is stuck in repetitive cycles.
Every now and then we get a glimpse of hope
Intermittently, there are moments of hope and positivity.
And see it glow
These moments of hope are observable and vibrant.
We wish life could get better
Expressing a wish for overall improvement in life.
Depression's got a tighter hold
Depression continues to exert a strong and restraining influence.
Let go
An invitation or encouragement to release the grip of depression.
