The lyrics of Keep Holding On by Cory Monteith Lea Michele is a song that speaks about standing by each other in times of difficulty. The song encourages listeners to keep moving forward, to hold on during difficult times, to find strength even when it's hard to do so.
In the dueling vocals of Rachel and Finn, they sing about standing together and the comfort that brings. The two express their unwavering support and loyalty to one another, emphasizing that no matter how hard things may get, they will never give up. They urge those who might be facing a tough challenge to "just stay strong" and "keep holding on."
The chorus is emphasized repeatedly, as if to drill its encouraging message into the listener's heart. Moreover, the uplifting message of the song is presented through its melody, which is powerful and dramatic. The upbeat tempo, accompanied by the repetition of the lyrics, is reminiscent of a march, a step-by-step movement, is symbolic of prevailing against adversity.
