Abandon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coming home round the mountain side
Gonna cut you off gonna take a little bit of your pride oh yes I will
Coming home if it takes all night
Hold on here I come
Coming home gonna make you mine all mine
Gonna cruse highway 2 like I'm outta my god damn mind
Burning round a buck 65
Had enough I've been working all month
Sitting on a gold mine but that don't hold me much
Compared to you and your cold touch
Coming home gonna warm you up.
Hold on here I come coming home round the mountain side
Gonna drive all night just to get a taste of that Auld Lang Sign
You better bet your life on it
Hold on here I come
Coming in with the early morning light
Small chance of rain big chance of ice
Just cause of that I'm gonna hug you twice
Coming home if it takes all night.
Had enough I've been working all month
Sitting on a gold mine but that don't hold me much
Compared to you and your cold touch
Coming home gonna warm you up
Hold on here I come
I'll be coming round the mountain when I come
You'll be sound asleep and I hope I kept the promise I made when I wake you up
Kissing you on the forehead
Telling you I knew I didn't need the luck
Hold on here I come
Coming home gonna make you mine all mine
Had a lot of fun last time I saw you honey
Sitting on a gold mine but life ain't all about money
Catching up I hope won't take too long
Cause I didn't come here just to hear you talk
But you can talk I don't mind
Hold on here I come
Coming home gonna make you mad so mad
Cause I told my boss he could take his job
And I'll cut my losses
I had to do it
Ya I had to do it
That's right I had to do it
I had to do it
I had to it
I had to quit
For you
In Abandon's song "Hold On", the lyrics illustrate the emotional journey of a girl who feels like all of her dreams have been shattered. She sits by herself, wondering when the pain and hurt will end. Tears stream down her face because her life has not turned out the way she had imagined. She is searching for a friend to be by her side and a savior who can guide her to a better place.
As the song continues, the girl feels like leaving because she thinks there is no hope left. She thinks that her family is broken, and tears are her only companions. She wishes for a better life that she deserves and hopes somehow heaven will answer her call.
As the bridge comes in, the girl questions whether anyone cares for her or sees her for who she is. She pleads with someone to look beyond her skin and understand what she is going through. She wants to talk to someone, and she hopes that they will listen.
In summary, the song conveys a message of hope and encouragement, urging the listener to hold on and believe that someone loves them. It reminds them to keep searching for the search lights and not give up during the darkest moments of their life.
Line by Line Meaning
She sits alone and wonders
She is sitting by herself, full of thoughts and questions
When is the end of broken dreams?
She is longing for a time when her shattered aspirations will be over
This isn't what I pictured
Her reality is not what she had hoped for, and she is dismayed by it
She says as tears run down her cheeks
She is openly emotional and truly upset
She needs a friend beside her
She's searching for companionship and someone to stand with her
She's looking for a savior
In her troubled state, she wants someone to save her from her problems
Hold on, hold on
Wait, don't give up
Someone will find you
You're not alone
Somebody loves you
You are cared about and appreciated
She grabs her coat to leave
She assumes that leaving will solve her problems
So sure it's gonna be the end
She thinks that giving up is the only option left
Another broken family
She is dealing with family issues and heartbreak
Tears are her only friends
She has nobody to turn to except tears
This isn't the life they wanted
Life is not measuring up to her wishes or hopes
She's hoping that heaven comes through
She hopes that things will improve at some point
You're not drowning this time
You're stronger this time around
Look for the search lights
Scan for hope and opportunity
Does anybody care? Do you even see?
Is anyone concerned? Can you recognize me?
Look past my skin, do you see me?
Can you see beyond my exterior to the person I am inside?
Do you even know what I'm going through?
Do you have any notion of the stresses I'm experiencing?
I need to talk to someone, can I talk to you?
I require someone to listen, can you be the one?
Does anybody care? Does anybody care?
Is anybody paying attention?
Somebody loves you, yeah
Despite what you may think or feel, somebody cares for you
Hold on, hold on
Wait, don't give up
You're not drowning this time
You're stronger this time around
Hold on, hold on
Wait, don't give up
Look for the search lights
Search for the light at the end of the tunnel
Hold on, hold on
Wait, don't give up
Hold on, hold on
Wait, don't give up
Hold on, hold on
Wait, don't give up
