Hang On
Atomic Potato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hang on 'til the break of dawn
We don't have tomorrow to carry on
Stay with me, and love me through the night
'Cuz we don't have another day to make it alright
Of all the times that we spent together
My mind is lost we're not meant for eachother
You told me that you'd love me forever.
And I thought I had what I wanted in life.
You said one day you'd be my wife.
Ya know and after all that has passed us by
The past 10 months were just a lie!
(Chorus)
When I would kiss you I thought it was a dream
It made so much sense, we were the perfect team
Where did it go wrong despite waiting so long
Is this how we really fit in the scheme?
(Chorus)
And I thought I had what I wanted in life.
You said one day you'd be my wife.
Ya know, and after all that has passed us by
The past 10 months were just a lie!
(Chorus 2x)
The lyrics of Atomic Potato's song Hang On convey the bittersweet tale of a failing relationship. The chorus is a plea to hang on until the break of dawn, to love each other through the night because they don't have another day to make it alright. The song suggests that the love has turned out to be a lie, and the two don't belong together. The singer reminisces about the times spent together and how his mind is lost as they are not compatible. The verse suggests that the singer thought he had everything he wanted in life when she said that she would be his wife, but the last ten months have been a lie.
The chorus recurs thrice throughout the song, emphasizing the desperation of the situation at hand. The tone of the song is sad and remorseful, conveying the despair and pain of heartbreak. The song's lyrics focus on the theme of lost love, and the singer's plea to hang on, just for the night, conveys the sadness that arises when one realizes that the person they loved is no longer the same.

Hang on 'til the break of dawn
Hold on until the morning comes
We don't have tomorrow to carry on
We can't rely on the future to fix things
Stay with me, and love me through the night
Don't leave me alone in the darkness
'Cuz we don't have another day to make it alright
We have to make things work tonight, because there might not be a tomorrow
Of all the times that we spent together
Reflecting on all the moments we shared
My mind is lost we're not meant for each other
I'm confused and don't think we're compatible
And if I recall, correctly last fall
Remembering a conversation we had in the past
You told me that you'd love me forever.
You promised me eternal love
And I thought I had what I wanted in life.
I thought I had found my perfect match
You said one day you'd be my wife.
You expressed your desire to marry me
Ya know and after all that has passed us by
Looking back at our history
The past 10 months were just a lie!
Realizing that our recent months together were not real
When I would kiss you I thought it was a dream
Feeling like our relationship was too good to be true
It made so much sense, we were the perfect team
Feeling like we were made for each other
Where did it go wrong despite waiting so long
Wondering how our relationship fell apart despite our efforts
Is this how we really fit in the scheme?
Questioning if we were ever truly meant to be together
