Hold Me Down
Embracing Shadows: A Journey Through Yearning and Resilience
Lyrics
I won't hold my finger in the air
I won't make predictions or give clear directions
And tell you which way the wind blows
I won't pretend to know the future
For I have tried so many times
Expressing past attempts
Damn that look in your eyes!
Reacting to a compelling or intense gaze
Hold me down, hold
Requesting to be restrained or comforted
Hold me down, hold
Repeatedly seeking reassurance or support
Damn it, but don't you know that I will be there?
Expressing frustration but affirming commitment
That I will be there?
Reiterating the commitment to be there for someone
That I will be there?
-That I will be there?
-I walk the streets
Describing a nighttime stroll
Moonlight hanging above me
Noticing the moon's presence
Haunting its way through these dreams
Describing a haunting atmosphere in dreams
You've told me so many times
Recalling previous statements
That this is the place we loose our minds
Referring to a place where sanity is lost
Hold me down, hold
Repetition of the plea for support or comfort
Hold me down, hold
-Hold me down, hold
-Hold me down, hold
-Damn it, but don't you know that I will be there?
Emphasizing the certainty of being present
That I will be there?
Continued emphasis on commitment to be there
That I will be there?
-That I will be there?
-That I will be there?
-Hold me down, hold
Repeating the plea for reassurance or comfort
Hold me down, hold
-Hold me down, hold
-Hold me down, hold
-That I will be there?
Final repetition of commitment to be there
