Holding On
Dani Shay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mis lagrimas cortan a través de esta página como,
Navajas cayendo de mis mejillas.
Y no puedo hablar, pero ellas, ellas lo hacen por mí.

Bueno, nado en el océano, de otra devoción
Y solo puedo esperar que nadaras también.
A pesar de que las aguas son profundas,
Y las nubes están rodando a través, ohh

Puedo sentir el viento empujándome,
Y puedo sentir que me estoy hundiendo poco a poco,
Y como pierdo el control, lo sé nunca parare,
Aferrándome a.

Lo llaman una bendición, lo llaman una maldición, lo llaman como quieran,
Hay algo peor que la persistencia, pero estoy buscándolo aún.

Veo que estoy otra vez negándome a ceder,
A la posibilidad de perder mi capacidad de pensar,
O para ocultar, pero aquí estoy yo, muy abierta
Echa un vistazo y hazlo rápido, una rápida mirada es mejor por última vez porque

Puedo sentir el viento empujándome, yeah
Y puedo sentir que me estoy hundiendo poco a poco,
Y como pierdo el control, lo sé nunca parare,
Aferrándome.
Aferrándome.

El animal en mi dice
Supervivencia, supervivencia, sobrevivir, pero,
La romántica en mi dice,
Solo vive, wooah

Así que deje que el viento soplar
Y me deje hundir poco a poco,
Y cuando perdí el control,




Yo sabía que nunca pararía, nunca pararía
Aferrándome

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dani Shay's song Holding On are about struggling to hold onto something even when it's causing pain and hardships. The opening lines "Mis lagrimas cortan a través de esta página como, Navajas cayendo de mis mejillas" translate to "My tears cut through this page like blades falling from my cheeks" conveying the physical manifestation of emotional pain. The singer then talks about being in a deep and uncertain place, hoping someone else can navigate those choppy waters with them. Shay sings about feeling the wind pushing her and slowly sinking, but not giving up the fight, holding onto whatever is left.


The line "Lo llaman una bendición, lo llaman una maldición, lo llaman como quieran, Hay algo peor que la persistencia, pero estoy buscándolo aún" translates to "They call it a blessing, they call it a curse, call it whatever they want, there is something worse than perseverance, but I'm still looking for it," is like a realization that holding onto something that causes pain isn't healthy but it's tough to let go. The singer knows that they're holding onto something that might not be good for them, but they can't let go either.


The last lines "El animal en mi dice Supervivencia, supervivencia, sobrevivir, pero, La romántica en mi dice Solo vive, wooah" translate to "The animal in me says Survival, survival, survive, but the romantic in me says just live, wooah," is like an inner voice that's undecided, trying to decide between surviving and just living without the pain. It's a powerful song about the struggle to let go of something that's not good for you and trying to hold onto it, even if all you're doing is holding on for the sake of it.

This song is especially sensational! Your voice is so magical, and your long phrases bring the words to life. I truly enjoy a song like this when you show off your extensive singing range. Your upper range is absolutely beautiful. Until I listened to most of your songs, I was only hearing your rich first octave of your range. It is evident now that you can sing well over a two octave range effortlessly. I would like to hear your entire beautiful range, or most it in each song.

I'm sad I didn't discover you before! You are just such a great example of what one should strive to be, someone who believes in herself and her talent. You are a huge inspiration for me. I can't wait to see the mark you will leave in the music world :)
