Hold Out
Hold Out: Embracing Hope in the Shadows
Lyrics
When the clouds are hanging low
Feeling burdened or troubled when faced with difficulties.
And they treat you like a ghost
Being ignored or overlooked, like a specter without recognition.
Only talking to the shadows
Isolation and loneliness, conversing with shadows as companions.
Cuz you got nowhere to go
Experiencing a sense of aimlessness or lack of direction.
And time keeps passing
The relentless passage of time without positive change.
The sun ain't rising
A metaphorical darkness persists, hindering progress.
Learned how to survive on your own
Acquiring self-reliance, learning to survive independently.
But for what matter?
Questioning the purpose or significance of one's actions.
What's the meaning?
Seeking the meaning of life or the purpose of existence.
Hard finding the reason, I know
Struggling to find justification or motivation for life's challenges.
When you don't get any light in
Encountering darkness or difficulty without relief.
Hold out
Encouragement to persevere or endure through tough times.
When it's all about surviving
Surviving becomes the primary focus amid adversity.
Just hold out
A reiterated call to hold on and endure hardships.
Only asking you the one thing
Requesting persistence through challenging situations.
Hold out
An insistence on holding out despite the temptation to surrender.
When it's easier to give in
When giving up seems easier, choosing to endure.
We hold out until the morning
Enduring hardships until a brighter future (morning) arrives.
See you're tired of being strong
Fatigue from maintaining strength or resilience.
No one notices you're gone
Feeling unnoticed or unappreciated by others.
And you're feeling like the corner
A sense of belonging to a desolate or ignored space.
Is the place where you belong
Perceiving a corner as a refuge or comfort zone.
But times are changing
Acknowledging the inevitability of change over time.
And all the breaking
The process of breaking down will eventually transform into scars.
Will fade into scars down the road
The healing journey that occurs in the future.
When you don't get any light in
Facing challenges without receiving support or illumination.
Hold out
A reiterated plea to hold on during difficult times.
When it's all about surviving
Emphasizing survival as a central theme in challenging circumstances.
Just hold out
A continuous call to endure and persevere.
Only asking you the one thing
Asking for commitment to resilience in the face of adversity.
Hold out
Encouraging resistance to surrender when it seems easier.
When it's easier to give in
Choosing endurance over giving in to challenges.
We hold out until the morning
Persevering until the arrival of a brighter future (morning).
Cuz the clouds will go away
Expressing hope for the dissipation of difficulties or troubles.
It will be a better day
Belief in the prospect of a better day on the horizon.
So hold out until the morning
A reiteration of holding on until a brighter future arrives.
It will be a better day
Confident assurance that a better day will indeed come.
