Hold me
Brennen Henson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I′m packing my feelings away
My heart, it just can't take the weight
Suppressed ′til I don't feel a thing
I broke down in my car today
For the seventh time this week, it's only wednesday
There′s 17 bucks in my bank
My mother, she keeps calling me
She′s asking if I'm suffering
But I just keep faking okay
My dad, he knows me best
I know he sees that I′m a mess
He just keeps on encouraging me
This life is beautiful
It's messed up but beautiful
And I feel alone
But I know that home is holding me
And this world is broken
And hope feels foreign
Sometimes I feel alone
But I know that home is holding me
I never expected all this
The hurt that was bound to come
But the pain got too heavy to lift
So to cope with it all I just numb
And my only escape is my thoughts
Of a home that I′m missing so much
It feels like I'm floating around
But my anchor is still touching the ground
This life is beautiful
It's messed up, but beautiful
And I feel alone
But I know that home is holding me
And this world is broken
And hope feels foreign
Sometimes I feel alone
But I know that home is holding me
Hold me close
I don′t know where I′d be without you
Hold me close
I don't know where I′d be without you
Hold me close (Hold me)
I don't know where I′d be without you
(Hold me, I don't know where I′d be without you)
Hold me close (Hold me)
I don't where I'd be without you (I
Do everything I can be without you)
This life is beautiful
It′s messed up but beautiful
And I feel alone
But I know that home is holding me
And this world is broken
And hope feels foreign
Sometimes I feel alone
But I know that home is holding me
This life is beautiful
It′s messed up but beautiful
And I feel alone
But I know that home is holding me
This world is broken
And hope feels foreign
Sometimes I feel alone
But I know that home is holding me
The lyrics of Brennen Henson's "Hold Me" describe the struggles of dealing with pain, feeling alone, and finding comfort at home. The artist is facing a difficult time, unable to bear the weight of his pain. He is suppressing his emotions, trying not to feel anything, and it is becoming increasingly harder for him to cope. He breaks down, feeling helpless and scared, with only his thoughts of a home that he misses so much as an escape. He feels alone and knows that the world is a broken place, and hope sometimes feels foreign to him. Yet, he finds solace in the knowledge that home is holding him, and he needs it to keep going.
The artist's parents are also mentioned in the song, trying to offer support in their own way. Henson's mother is concerned and keeps calling, asking if he is suffering, but he fakes being okay. On the other hand, his father sees through his facade and encourages him to keep going, to keep fighting whatever is making him feel so low. In the end, it's the comfort of coming home, the thought of being held, that gives Henson the strength to face the challenges of life.
Overall, "Hold Me" is a deeply reflective and introspective song about vulnerability, pain, hope, and the power of home.

The pain, it got so much to take
The intensity of the pain has reached an unbearable level
So I'm packing my feelings away
To escape the pain, I'm suppressing my emotions
My heart, it just can't take the weight
The emotional burden has become overwhelming
Suppressed 'til I don't feel a thing
I'm numbing myself to escape the pain
I broke down in my car today
The emotional stress caused me to break down
For the seventh time this week, it's only Wednesday
The emotional burden has become too much to bear
There's 17 bucks in my bank
I'm struggling financially
I'm scared 'cause I got bills to pay
The financial stress has added to my anxiety
My mother, she keeps calling me
My mother is concerned about my well-being
She's asking if I'm suffering
My mother is aware that I'm not okay
But I just keep faking okay
To avoid worrying others, I pretend I'm fine
My dad, he knows me best
My father understands my struggles
I know he sees that I'm a mess
My father recognizes that I'm not doing well
He just keeps on encouraging me
Despite my struggles, my father supports me
This life is beautiful
Despite the hardships, there is beauty in life
It's messed up but beautiful
Life can be chaotic, but still has its moments of beauty
And I feel alone
Despite having support, I feel isolated
But I know that home is holding me
The thought of home offers comfort
And this world is broken
The world is full of chaos and pain
And hope feels foreign
Hope seems distant and unattainable
Sometimes I feel alone
Despite having loved ones, I feel disconnected
Hold me close
I need comfort and support
I don't know where I'd be without you
I am grateful for the love and support of others
I do everything I can be without you
Despite needing others, I try to avoid being a burden
