Hold Me Back
Battling Temptations: The Cry for Control in 'Hold Me Back'
Lyrics
Yeah, hold me back
Feeling the need for restraint or support
I can't relax
Unable to find calm or peace
No self-control
Lacking discipline or restraint
Lord help me, lord help me
Seeking divine assistance or guidance
Hold me back
Reiteration of the desire for restraint or support
I can't relax
Continued struggle to find calm or peace
No self-control
Persistent lack of discipline or restraint
Lord help me, lord help me
Continued plea for divine help
Lord help me
Expressing a need for assistance
To keep my distance, stay away
Desiring distance and avoidance
From the things that take away
Avoiding things that lead astray
From the things that make me stray, yeah help me
Seeking help to resist distractions
To put the bottle down
Struggling with alcohol dependency
To know when enough's enough
Recognizing the need for moderation
Won't let my love run down
Preserving love and avoiding its depletion
Yeah, hold me back
Reiteration of the need for restraint or support
I can't relax
Continued inability to find calm or peace
No self-control
Ongoing struggle with lack of discipline
Lord help me, lord help me
Continued plea for divine assistance
Hold me back
Repetition of the desire for restraint or support
I can't relax
Persistent inability to find calm or peace
No self-control
Perseverance in the struggle with lack of discipline
Lord help me, lord help me
Continued plea for divine help
Help me
Expressing a need for assistance
To take the best advice
Seeking guidance before facing consequences
Before they've had enough
Avoiding regret by heeding advice in time
And I run out of time, yeah help me
Requesting help to avoid running out of time
I can't do it alone
Acknowledging the inability to overcome challenges alone
Before too long I'll be without a home
Fearing homelessness without intervention
Yeah, you don't want it
Emphasizing that the desired outcome is not wanted
Tell me how to live my life
Resisting external attempts to dictate life choices
But I know you care
Acknowledging concern and care from others
So maybe fuck my pride
Weighing the importance of personal pride
You don't want it
Reiterating the undesirability of the situation
Leave me here to die
Expressing a feeling of abandonment and hopelessness
'Cause down a slippery slope, I'll slide, slide, slide
Describing a precarious situation with potential consequences
Yeah, hold me back
Reiteration of the desire for restraint or support
I can't relax
Continued struggle to find calm or peace
No self-control
Perseverance in the struggle with lack of discipline
Lord help me, lord help me
Continued plea for divine assistance
Hold me back
Repetition of the desire for restraint or support
I can't relax
Persistent inability to find calm or peace
No self-control
Perseverance in the struggle with lack of discipline
Lord help me, lord help me
Continued plea for divine help
Yeah, hold me back
Reiteration of the desire for restraint or support
Tell me how to live my life
Resisting external attempts to dictate life choices
Got no self-control
Emphasizing the persistent lack of discipline
Lord help me, lord help me
Continued plea for divine assistance
