Don't Hold On
Unveiling the Inner Struggle: The Hellacopters' "Don't Hold On
Lyrics
Is it eating
Questioning if a certain feeling or situation is consuming
You up from inside
Asking if it's affecting you internally
Is it fleeting
Wondering if the experience is brief or passing
But does it grip like a vice
Asking if it holds on strongly like a vice grip
Does it ever leave you wholly alone
Questioning if the feeling ever leaves you completely alone
Is there a place where you let it grow
Asking if there's a place where the feeling is allowed to grow
Veiled but all the time in tow
Suggesting that the feeling is hidden but always present
Don’t hold on baby let go
Encouraging to release and not cling to the emotion
Don’t hold on baby let go
Reiterating the advice to let go and not hold on
It’s weighing heavy on your soul
Describing the weight of the emotion on the soul
Don’t hold on baby let go
Repeating the advice to let go and not hold on
So you told her
Narrating a communication where feelings were shared
What’s on your mind
Expressing that something is persistently bothering
But something’s stuck on your shoulder
Symbolizing a lingering burden that cannot be shaken off
And you can’t leave it behind
Indicating difficulty in moving past the mentioned issue
Can you do it
Posing a challenge to overcome the situation
Or will the river rise and overflow
Asking if one can handle it or if emotions will overwhelm
How many moons how many tides ago
Reflecting on the passage of time and experiences
Baby do you even know
Questioning the depth of understanding about the situation
