Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guess I'll be leaving,leaving you behind
If you dont stop holding out,your gonna end our mystery
Stop holding out, stop pulling out from me
You come and go,laughing as ya please
But dont you think that I'd get down on my knees
If you dont stop holding out,your gonna end our mystery
Stop holding out, stop pulling out from me
But there is one thing i think you oughta know
If you dont stop holding out,your gonna end our mystery
Stop holding out, stop pulling out from me
Stop holding out. stop pulling out from me
The lyrics of Ashton Gwyn's song "Stop holding out" is about a person who is tired of the games their partner is playing with their emotions. The person wants to end the mystery of what their future holds with their partner but they can't do it alone. They need their partner to stop holding out and communicate their true feelings. The song's tone is assertive and it conveys the message that without communication, the relationship is doomed to fail.
The line "Oh Baby you been playing, playing with my mind" indicates that the person is feeling emotionally manipulated by their partner's actions. The line "Guess I'll be leaving, leaving you behind" shows that the person is tired of bearing the brunt of this behavior and is likely to break up. The use of the phrase "pulling out" in the second verse suggests that the person's partner is constantly distancing themselves, creating a sense of emotional instability in the relationship.
The chorus of the song is an ultimatum of sorts. It says that if the person's partner does not stop holding out and pulling away, it will result in the end of the relationship. The song's structure is simple with a verse-chorus structure that puts emphasis on the importance of communication in any relationship.
