Lyrics
You said don't ever take it back
You were told not to retract your words
Just turn into the light and let the wolves attack
Face challenges courageously, confront difficulties
'Cause this is our last stand
Expressing determination in a final confrontation
You gave me good, I gave you bad
Exchange of positive and negative experiences
Throw a penny in the wishing well, you make me mad
Expressing frustration, anger
Well I was struggling, sad
Reflecting on a period of difficulty and sorrow
Oh, now I see
Realization of the current situation
What's in front of, what's in front of me
Awareness of what is present and visible
Slow down, I see
Advice to decelerate, take time to perceive
What's in front of, what's in front of me
Emphasis on recognizing the immediate surroundings
You took over when I was M.I.A.
Someone took control during the singer's absence
Riding the horses to the promised plains
Metaphorical journey towards a promising future
Hold it down, hold it down
Urgency to maintain control and stability
Never once I ever lived alone
Emphasis on never experiencing solitary living
Warm hands and I was overthrown
Feeling of being dominated despite warmth
Hold it down, hold it down
Reiteration of the need to maintain control
You said you'd never take it back
Reiteration of the commitment not to retract
You'd turn into something you would never crack
Transformation into something unbreakable
'Cause this is our last stand
Restating determination in a final confrontation
You gave me good, I gave you bad
Exchange of positive and negative experiences
Threw a penny in the wishing well, you made me glad
Expression of happiness despite challenges
When I was struggling, sad
Reflecting on a past struggle and sadness
Oh, now I see
Realization of the current situation
What's in front of, what's in front of me
Awareness of what is present and visible
Slow down, I see
Advice to decelerate, take time to perceive
What's in front of, what's in front of me
Emphasis on recognizing the immediate surroundings
You took over when I was M.I.A.
Someone took control during the singer's absence
Riding the horses to the promised plains
Metaphorical journey towards a promising future
Hold it down, hold it down
Urgency to maintain control and stability
Never once I ever lived alone
Emphasis on never experiencing solitary living
Warm hands and I was overthrown
Feeling of being dominated despite warmth
Hold it down, hold it down
Reiteration of the need to maintain control
