Holding On
Dj Frankie Wilde ft. Ferry Corsten 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 of "Holding On" expresses the feelings of a person who is struggling to hold onto a relationship that seems to be fading away. The opening lines, "The falling sky grows darker every day. And moonlight fading as you walk away," suggests that the situation is becoming more and more hopeless as time passes. The person is desperately trying to find a way to reconnect with their partner, but all the roads that once led them to their heart seem to have disappeared.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the frustration and helplessness of the situation. The singer is holding onto their love for their partner, but it seems that their efforts are in vain. The lines, "I'm holding on but guess I'm out of luck, and still in love with you," perfectly captures the dilemma of the person - they are still in love, but they cannot force the other person to feel the same way.

The final lines of the song emphasize the desire of the person to understand what is going on in their partner's mind. They are willing to listen and to talk, but the other person seems to be constantly changing their mind, making it difficult for the relationship to move forward.
