HOLDING ON
Letting Go: Embracing Life Beyond Loss
Lyrics
Know you're trynna hold on, to someone that is gone
Attempting to hold on to someone who is no longer present.
Try and live your life but something's just wrong
Struggling to live a normal life, feeling that something is amiss.
Unsaid words, unsaid goodbyes all on your mind
Thinking about unspoken words and farewells that linger in the mind.
You're holding on, yeah, holding on
Actively holding on despite the challenges.
Trynna not let go but no matter what you do, that person is gone
Resisting letting go, even though the person is no longer there.
You're holding on, gotta stop holding
A realization of the need to stop holding on.
Move on but don't forget
Encouragement to move forward without forgetting the past.
You might miss all the sweet little things in life you don't wanna regret
Warning against potential regrets for missing life's precious moments.
I try to hold onto you but it's slowing me down
Expressing difficulty in letting go and its impact on personal progress.
Pain in my heart everyday not having you around
Enduring heartache and pain due to the absence of a loved one.
All that talk about fame well I don't want it no more
Rejecting the pursuit of fame, realizing its insignificance without the loved one.
Losing you caused more pain than I could ignore
Acknowledging the profound pain caused by losing the person.
I'll wear your name on my chest
Symbolic gesture of commitment, wearing the person's name on the chest.
In spite of everyone who said I'd never be the best
Defiance against those who doubted, striving to be the best.
You believed in me since the day I was born
Recognition of the unwavering belief and support received since birth.
Showed me how to love and how to be more
Guidance on love and personal growth provided by the departed.
Told me god gave me more than one gift
Advice to recognize and utilize the multiple gifts bestowed by God.
Go find the lord, who you are and what it is
Encouragement to seek identity and purpose through spiritual exploration.
Can't make music without trynna hold onto you
Struggling to create music without holding on to the memory of the person.
I can't let you go, I'm still holding on
Inability to let go, still actively holding on to the past.
You're holding on, yeah, holding on
Continued struggle to release the grip, despite the person's absence.
Trynna not let go but no matter what you do, that person is gone
Reiteration of the difficulty in letting go.
You're holding on, gotta stop holding
Acknowledgment of the need to stop holding on and move forward.
Move on but don't forget
Encouragement to move on while preserving valuable memories.
You might miss all the sweet little things in life you don't wanna regret
Warning against potential regrets for missing life's precious moments (repeated).
You lost it all, I can see it
Observation of losing everything, perceiving the impact.
Don't hide from the pain don't go leaving
Advising against avoidance of pain and the importance of confronting it.
Yeah, everyone loses, everyone cries
Universal acknowledgment that everyone faces losses and experiences tears.
Someday everybody eventually dies
Recognition of the inevitability of death for everyone.
Don't listen to the lies their feeding, they say if a man cries he is full of weakness
Rejecting societal norms about masculinity and expressing vulnerability.
But once that man dies nobody knows how many nights he was sleepless
Highlighting the unknown struggles of individuals, especially in solitude.
When He cried and cried and cried, feeling his weakest
Emphasizing the emotional toll and sleepless nights during personal crises.
Missing some that's gone, just like you and me we're still holding on
Identifying with the experience of missing someone who is no longer present.
You're holding on, yeah, holding on
Reiteration of the ongoing struggle to let go.
Trynna not let go but no matter what you do, that person is gone
Continued resistance to letting go despite the absence of the person.
You're holding on, gotta stop holding
Reiteration of the need to stop holding on and move forward.
Move on but don't forget
Encouragement to move on while preserving valuable memories (repeated).
You might miss all the sweet little things in life you don't wanna regret
Warning against potential regrets for missing life's precious moments (repeated).
