Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I'm calling your name
Every day I feel this pain
But you just turn and walk away
Noooo...
I just can't keep hanging on
To you and me
I just don't know what is wrong
Touch me and then turn away
And put your hands into the flame
Tell me if you feel this pain
Cause I don't want to be a ball and chain
Noooo...
I just can't keep hanging on
To you and ...
I just don't know what is wrong
To you and me
Walking the way
Looking for way
Of my own sorrow
For the sorrow
From the past
And the darkness in my eyes
And the sorrow
Cause in my heart
I don't know who I am
who I am
I don't know who I am
I just can't keep hanging on
Huu............
I just can't keep hanging on
I just don't know what is wrong
with you and .....
with you and me
I just can't keep hanging on
To you and me
With you and me
With you and me
The lyrics to BING's song "Hanging On" depict a sense of frustration and pain in a relationship where one person is constantly seeking the attention and affection of the other person. The first verse suggests that despite the singer calling out for their partner's attention, they are consistently ignored and dismissed. There is a feeling of longing and desperation as the singer expresses their inability to let go of the relationship, even though they are aware that something is fundamentally wrong.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's struggle to hold on to the relationship despite not understanding what is causing the distance between them. They cannot comprehend why their partner continuously avoids physical and emotional intimacy, leading to a feeling of being trapped, symbolized by being a "ball and chain." The repeated use of "Noooo" expresses the singer's growing frustration and confusion.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's pain and inner struggle. They express a desire to find their own path and escape the sorrow from the past, but they feel trapped in darkness, not knowing their own identity. This highlights the inner turmoil and confusion resulting from the stagnant and unfulfilling relationship.
Overall, "Hanging On" portrays the anguish of being in a one-sided relationship, where one person desperately clings to the hope of a connection while feeling trapped and unsure of themselves.
