Try to Hang On
Resilience in Love's Departure: Pavlov's Dog's 'Try to Hang On' Reflection
Lyrics
Why try to hang on
Contemplating the effort to hold on
When you know for sure that she's gone
Acknowledging the certainty of her departure
Why even try when she goes away
Questioning the point of trying when she leaves
You let yourself go
Allowing oneself to decline emotionally
And you know it's beginning to show
Recognizing the visible impact of the emotional decline
Why even try when she goes away
Reiterating the futility of trying when she's gone
It's all in the cards and you know that you're losing the odds
Acknowledging a predetermined outcome with unfavorable odds
They say you're just lucky
Addressing external perceptions of luck
To just be alive
Being grateful for mere existence
So it seems now in time
Expressing the passing of time
A plan comes into your mind
The emergence of a strategy or idea
How to get your girl back
Planning to win back the girl
Even at the cost of some time
Willing to sacrifice time to achieve the goal
Do you think that it's worth it
Questioning the value of the effort
Would you break in a cold sweat
Asking if the endeavor induces anxiety
Put yourself clear don't let them put you away
Advising to stay clear and avoid being detained
And if there is no use in crying
Considering the uselessness of crying
What good would it do to be lying
Questioning the benefit of dishonesty
Get your girl back
Reiterating the goal of winning back the girl
And don't let them put you away
Emphasizing the importance of avoiding detention
Now you'd better hang on...I know
Encouragement to persevere and endure
And get your girl back
Reiterating the goal of winning back the girl
You'd better hang on
Emphasizing the need to hold on
