Chokehold
Aiden Grimshaw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rolling...

Wooo...
Is this the soul that'll die with or,
A love that I'll buy in, I'm trying to find myself an answer.
Is this a heart I can trust, and slam the door as I rushed in,
I'm wondering how I can live without you.

Ahhhh ahh ahhhhh ahh...
Falling in love with you.
Ahhhh ahh ahhhhh ahh...
Falling in love with you.

It's just a matter of time, before I know wrong from right
And I fight for a while, until it finds me.
Can't help but dwell on the past, don't make a song and a dance take a chance, til our heart is broken...

Ahhhh ahh ahhhhh ahh...
Falling in love with you.
Ahhhh ahh ahhhhh ahh...
Falling in love with you.

OH! Cupid got me in a chokehold,
I tried to run, but I was too slow.
Cupid got me in a chokehold,
I tried to run, but I was too slow.
OH! Cupid got me in a chokehold,
I tried to run, but I was too slow
Cupid got me in a chokehold,
I tried to run, but I was too slow, Oh...

Another night in the cold, another question unfolds
All alone, writing codes all over paper.
All of these thoughts trapped inside me,
Wrapped around me so tightly, it's frightening,
How I can't live without you

Ahhhh ahh ahhhhh ahh...
Falling in love with you.
(I'm falling, I'm falling in love)
OH! Cupid got me in a chokehold,
I tried to run, but I was too slow.
Cupid got me in a chokehold,
I tried to run, but I was too slow.
OH! Cupid got me in a chokehold,
I tried to run, but I was too slow.
Cupid got me in a chokehold,
I tried to run, but I was too slow.
I tried to run, but I was too slow.
I tried to run, but I was too slow.

OH! Cupid got me in a chokehold,
I tried to run, but I was too slow.
Cupid got me in a chokehold,
I tried to run, but I was too slow.
OH! Cupid got me in a chokehold,
I tried to run, but I was too slow.
Cupid got me in a chokehold,
I tried to run, but I was too slow.

Overall Meaning

In "Chokehold," Aiden Grimshaw searches for answers about the heart he can trust and the love he can rely on. He wonders if what he will ultimately find is a love that will die with him or if he can buy a love that will last. He recognizes that he can't help but dwell on the past, but he must take a chance on love until his heart is broken, as the pain of a broken heart is the only way he'll know he's truly loved. With a haunting and repetitive chorus of "falling in love with you" and an echoing sound, it is evident that Grimshaw is struggling with a love that is all-consuming and has left him feeling trapped.
