Hold The Line
Chester Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

While the world is sleeping
I can hear the night sleep quite
I can feel the beating of the night...

I can see some thieves
They are stealing my guitar
They can't play
The player is my heart...

Don't look in the mirror
Hold the line...
Have to win
Don't fool away your time...

Just remember all the other days...
Now come back
But please don't lose your ways...

While the world is dreaming
I can heart the sound of town
But this night I'm falling to the ground...

In the midnight hours
I have killed all my hopes
Just my crimes been written on the walls...

Don't look in the mirror
Hold the line...
Have to win
Don't fool away your time...

Just remember all the other days...




Now come back
But please don't lose your ways...

Overall Meaning

Chester's song Hold the Line is a powerful and inspiring song that encourages listeners to persevere and push through difficult times. The lyrics convey a sense of determination and strength, urging the listener to "hold the line" and stay steadfast in their pursuit of success. The opening lines of the song, "While the world is sleeping, I can hear the night sleep quite," set a somber and reflective tone. The singer appears to be alone with their thoughts, listening to the silence of the night and contemplating their future.


The second verse describes the singer's passion for music and the pain they feel when someone tries to take it away. The line "They are stealing my guitar, they can't play, the player is my heart" is a poignant metaphor that suggests the singer doesn't just play music, but embodies it in their very being. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "don't look in the mirror, hold the line," serves as a rallying cry for the listener to stay focused and remain committed to their goals. The final verse continues the theme of struggle and hardship, but ultimately ends on a hopeful note. The line "Now come back, but please don't lose your ways" is a reminder that setbacks are temporary, and success is within reach if one stays strong and perseveres.


Line by Line Meaning

While the world is sleeping
Amidst a calm world, I'm still wide awake


I can hear the night sleep quite
I can hear the peaceful silence of the night


I can feel the beating of the night...
I can sense the pulse of the night, alive and present


I can see some thieves
I notice those who aim to steal from me


They are stealing my guitar
They try to take what is precious to me


They can't play
They are unskilled and ignorant


The player is my heart...
For me, the only true player is my heart


Don't look in the mirror
Don't waste time on vanity


Hold the line...
Stay true to your path


Have to win
Success is necessary


Don't fool away your time...
Don't waste away your moments of opportunity


Just remember all the other days...
Recall the other times you overcame adversity


Now come back
Now is the time to return to your calling


But please don't lose your ways...
But don't stray from your purpose and beliefs


While the world is dreaming
In a world that is unaware


I can hear the sound of the town
I hear the bustling activity below


But this night I'm falling to the ground...
But tonight, I'm struggling and falling apart


In the midnight hours
During the darkest moments


I have killed all my hopes
I have destroyed any optimism I had


Just my crimes been written on the walls...
The evidence of my failures is all around me
