Holding on to What I Can't Hold
Embracing Life's Uncontrollable Journey with 'Holding on to What I Can't Hold'
Lyrics
It was so easy when I was younger
Reflecting on the simplicity of life during youth.
It didn't take much to feed the hunger
Expressing that fulfilling desires was easy in the past.
Somewhere along you lose the innocence
Acknowledging the loss of innocence as time passes.
No idea where it mighta went
Uncertainty about where innocence went as one matures.
You spend your whole life looking for something
Searching for a meaningful purpose throughout life.
I'm holding on
Emphasizing the struggle to hold on to something significant.
I'm holding on
-In my life is just the way it goes
Accepting that life unfolds in its own way.
Holding on
-Holding on
Difficulty in admitting lack of control over certain aspects.
It's hard to admit when you can't control
-Holding on to what I can't hold
Expressing the challenge of clinging to the unattainable.
You had a reason for packing and leaving
Recognizing a reason for someone leaving.
I've got a reason for wanting and reaching
Having a desire and determination to achieve something.
I'm not as big as I thought I was
Realizing a discrepancy between self-perception and reality.
Didn't go down the way I thought it would
-I don't even know what it is I'm needing
Uncertainty about personal needs and desires.
I'm holding on
Reiterating the effort to hold on despite challenges.
I'm holding on
-In my life is just the way it goes
Accepting the unpredictable nature of life.
I'm holding on
-Holding on
Admitting the difficulty of accepting lack of control.
It's hard to admit when you can't control
-Holding' on to what I can't hold
Persisting in holding on to the ungraspable.
You find it and you drink it
Using substances as coping mechanisms in the pursuit of fulfillment.
And you hold it and you smoke it
-Spend your whole life looking for something
-I'm holding on
Reiterating the ongoing struggle to hold on to something meaningful.
I'm holding on
-In my life that's just the way it goes
Acceptance of the inherent challenges in life.
Holding on
-Holding on
Acknowledging the difficulty in admitting lack of control.
Hard to admit when you can't control
-Holding on to what I can't hold
Persisting in holding on to what is intangible.
