Hold me
Black.Bird Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't be a ghost of perdition
On a mission, on the list, I get admission
Now you're missing what you lost
And you wish for all that cost
Shouldn't mention, but I will
That I love you still
Just know that
You can't hold me down
I've grown too much for that
Didn't sell my soul
Now I'm chasing down the goal
And I've got my life back on track
Saying, now
You can't hold me down

I strike down the deceiver
This fickle ether, when it's either
Live a lie or die believer
Now you wish for what you lost
Yet you miss all that which costs
Shouldn't mention, but I will
That I love you still
Just know that

You can't hold me down
I've grown too much for that
Didn't sell my soul
Now I'm chasing down the goal
And I've got my life back on track
Saying, now
You can't hold me down

I won't be a ghost of perdition
On a mission, on the list, I get admission
Now you're missing what you lost
Yet you wish for all that costs
Shouldn't mention, but I will
That I love you still
Just know that

You can't hold me down
I've grown too much for that
Didn't sell my soul
Now I'm chasing down the goal
And I've got my life back on track
Saying, now
You can't hold me down

Never again, Never again
Never again, no never again
Never again, no never again

You can't hold me down




You can't hold me down
You can't hold me down
