Hold On Me
Centerpeace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I'm right here and always have been, tell me is this just a game
I just need to know what you want, I just need to be the one to hold your hand, understand when
I say you can't ever break me, I've felt so much hurt already you know the deal, you've got me holdin'
You've got a hold on me, You've got a hold on me, You've got a hold on me, You've got a hold on me
You say one thing I see another, what am I suppose to think?
I just need to know what you want, I just wanna be the one who holds your hand, understand when
I say you can't ever break me, I've seen so much hurt already you know the deal, You've got me holdin'
You've got a hold on me, You've got a hold on me, You've got a hold on me, You've got a hold on me
The lyrics of Centerpeace's "Hold On Me" express the confusion of falling in love with someone whose intentions are unclear. The opening line suggests that the singer is caught off guard by someone's intense gaze, unsure if they are genuinely interested or simply playing a game. Despite this uncertainty, the singer professes their desire to understand and be there for the person they are enamoured with. However, they are also cautious about investing too much in the relationship, as they have already experienced a great deal of pain.
The chorus repeats the phrase "You've got a hold on me" as a sentiment of both surrender and acquiescence. The singer acknowledges that they are under the influence of this person, unable to resist their charms. At the same time, they are also aware that this power dynamic makes them vulnerable and potentially at risk of getting hurt again. Overall, "Hold On Me" captures the complicated emotions of wanting to love and be loved while trying to protect oneself from further pain and disappointment.
