Holdon
Apparat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't know what it's up to
Some blame it all on the moon
And there's nothin' we could do
And I'd like to make this thing
Happenin', happenin'
So I'd like to make this thing
Happenin', it's happenin'
Hold on to all we've got
Hold on to all what's left
And let it drop down a wall
For sweat and strobe light
Breakin' balls
It forgot you for all time
And I'm about to sail off Earth
We're driftin' so far
We're driftin' so long
And nothing gonna make me stop
As I proceed
As I proceed shamelessly
Hold on to all we've got
Hold on to all what's left
Hold on to all we've got
Hold on to all what's left
Came all-in for seventy-five
Just to show ya
All my love, yes all my love
I'm gonna be in my phony fraud
It took my quite a while
To lose what I acquired
What I acquired
This fluid off you do, seemed so strong
Got a hold of you, a hold of you
But only if you knew what was beyond everything
Everything wouldn't mean a thing
Hold on to all we've got
Hold on to all what's left
Hold on to all we've got
Hold on to all what's left
The lyrics of Apparat's song "Holdon" convey a sense of uncertainty, confusion, and desperation. The first stanza talks about something alive in ruins that the singer doesn't understand and how some people blame it all on the moon. The second stanza highlights the desire to make something happen and holds on to what's left. The chorus is a repetitive plea to hold on to all they've got and all that's left. The third part of the song starts with a metaphor about breaking walls with sweat and strobe lights, which only forgets the person for all time. The verse talks about sailing off earth while drifting so far and so long and nothing can stop them as they proceed shamelessly. The final part talks about coming all in for 75, showing all of their love and being in their phony fraud. It ends by asking you to hold on to all we've got and what's left.

To lose what I acquired
What I acquired
I put everything on the line to prove my love to you, even though it might be fake; it took me some time to let go of what I had accumulated
This fluid off you do, seemed so strong
Got a hold of you, a hold of you
But only if you knew what was beyond everything
Everything wouldn't mean a thing
This attachment to you seems powerful, but if you were aware of what lies beyond, you would realize that it is insignificant
