Holdin' On
Corsten Ferry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The falling sky grows darker every day.
And moonlight fading as you walk away.
And all the roads that lead me to your heart
Have gone astray

My hands are tied behind my back,
And I'm weakened by, your slow attack,
You take me in, then change your mind again.

Your spinning wheel won't lead me to your view,
And all the words I need to hear from you,
I'm holding on but guess I'm out of luck,
And still in love with you

My hands are tied behind my back,
And I'm weakened by, your slow attack,
You take me in, then change your mind again.

Hold my face, in your hands, look into my eyes
So understand, all the thoughts, inside your mind
Tell me it's time

My hands are tied behind my back,
And I'm weakened by, your slow attack,




You take me in, then change your mind again.
You take me in, then change your mind again.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Corsten Ferry's song Holdin' On describe the pain and struggle of being in love with someone who does not feel the same way. The falling sky growing darker every day and the moonlight fading as the person walks away represents the loss of hope and light in a relationship that is slowly ending. The roads that lead to the person's heart have gone astray, suggesting that the person is no longer able to find their way back to the love they once shared.


The chorus of the song describes the powerlessness of the person in love. Their hands are tied behind their back and they are weakened by the slow attack of the other person's indecisiveness. The other person takes them in, only to change their mind again – a painful cycle that keeps the person holding on to hope even though they know deep down that they are out of luck.


The bridge of the song is a plea for understanding and closure. The person asks the other to hold their face in their hands and look into their eyes so that they can understand the thoughts inside their mind. They want to hear the truth, even if it means that they must let go and move on.


Overall, the lyrics to Holdin' On are a powerful testament to the pain and struggle of unrequited love. They capture the heartache and desperation of someone who is trying desperately to hold on to a love that is slipping away.

Wow! And just likd that I'm taken back to 2003 New Orleans feelings so young, dumb, happy, and believed life would never end.

@MrGreyMonk

Песня просто нуждается в полноценном клипе! А ещё в обновлении качества звучания, с более глубоким звуком. А вообще прошло 13 лет с момента её появления, а до сих пор любой кто её услышит скажет что песня СУПЕР!

2021.... Кайф))
