Holding On
Scary Kids Scaring Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just trying to find your way anywhere
But you've come to find you're alone
It's getting dark and you've lost your way
I haven't let you go as long as you know that
I'm losing what's left of my dignity
But I'll fight till the end for her heart
I'll never give up for what's possibly
For better or worse this love must be cursed
You just try to keep your head down
But you come to find that trust has come and gone
Everyone out there is listening
But you don't care at all and you're probably glad to know
I'm losing what's left of my dignity
But I'll fight till the end for her heart
I'll never give up for what's possibly
For better or worse this love must be cursed
You already let it pass through your lips
You can't take it back now
(It's already out)
You already let it pass through your lips
Can't take it back
(It's already out)
You already let it pass through your lips
You can't take it back now
(It's already out)
You already let it pass through your lips
You can't take it back now
I'm losing what's left of my dignity
But I'll fight till the end for her heart
I'll never give up for what's possibly
For better or worse this love must be cursed
I'm holding on to her
(This love must be cursed)
I'm holding on to her
(This love must be cursed)
I'm holding on
I'm afraid to say she never made it home
Couldn't keep her head on
She was so close
I'm afraid to say she never made it home
I'm afraid to say she never made it home
I'm afraid to say she never made it home
I'm afraid to say she never made it home
(Couldn't keep her head on)
Afraid to say she never made it home
The song "Holding On" by Scary Kids Scaring Kids is a powerful and emotional track that touches on themes of love, loss, and perseverance. The lyrics speak to the challenge of holding onto someone or something that may be slipping away, and the fear of losing them completely. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the imagery of a lost traveler searching for their way as the sun sets. The lyrics suggest the feeling of hopelessness and solitude that can come with being lost, and the fear that you are alone in the darkness.
The chorus, "I'm losing what's left of my dignity, but I'll fight till the end for her heart" speaks to the struggle of holding onto love despite the odds. The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to sacrifice everything, including their own sense of pride, to hold onto the person they care about. The repetition of the line "this love must be cursed" adds to the sense of desperation and fear that permeates the song, suggesting that fate may be working against them.
The final verse is especially poignant, with the admission that the person they have been holding onto ultimately did not make it home. The image of someone losing their head suggests both a literal loss of life, as well as the metaphorical loss of one's sense of self in the context of a relationship.
Overall, "Holding On" is a thrillingly emotional song that will resonate with anyone who has experienced heartbreak or loss. It speaks to the power of love, the fear of losing it, and the struggle to hold on no matter what.

She was so close
The person they loved was almost within reach

Man I remember being a kid listening to this song and always feeling som sort of connection to it. I just applied certain parts of this song to specific things that were going on in my life. I'm 25 now and listening to this song again for the first time in YEARS I can't believe how much more this entire song connects to my personal life now. Music man. It's a hell of a fucjing thing. Rip to the member of this band who passed.

Rip to a vocalist I will always remember and adore, this band shaped my musical direction and influence completely.This band touched and gave my life joy for a fleeting period in life and time which is what music is in its core essence- influence and joy. Thank you SKSK!
