Holding On
Ella Hunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shall I stay or shall I go?
I feel as if I′m always grieving
For a love that feels like home
You can tremble at the break of it
While you hold me in your power
But from this far I feel the fake of it
And I can tell by the cracks in your voice
White cliffs to fall down into white noise
And silence is the other in our sheets
Break it with your body, but you know what it means
Break it with your body, but you know what it means
We can kiss the past away
Blink and it's gone
But is this still true today
Or are we just holding on?
We can kiss the past away
Blink and it′s gone
But is this still true today or are we just
Holding on?
Holding on?
I'm bored of I love you's
Bored of goodbyes
Bored of bad connection
And petty white lies
I′m bored of calling you at 3:00 a.m. your time
I′m bored of I love you's
Bored of goodbyes
Bored of bad connection
And petty white lies
I′m bored of calling you at 3:00 a.m. your time
Cooey, it's me, how have you been?
Conversations about our days are the most boring
I′ll just sit and listen to you breathe
Silence is more comforting to me
Silence is more comforting to me
The lyrics of Ella Hunt's song "Holding On" showcases the internal battle one faces when deciding whether to stay or leave a relationship. One person always seems to be leaving, leaving the other to decide if they should hold on or let go. The lyrics suggest a yearning for a love that feels like home, but the uncertainty and lack of trust in the relationship make it difficult. The power dynamics in the relationship are strained, with one person trembling in the face of the other's control. However, the singer can sense the lack of authenticity in the other person's words, and the relationship seems to be fading away.
The second verse speaks to the idea that we can't erase the past by simply kissing it away. While the past may be forgotten in the heat of the moment, the question remains whether the love is real or simply a facade. The repetition of "I'm bored of I love you's" suggests a sense of exhaustion in the relationship. The singer is tired of pretending everything is okay and is instead seeking comfort in silence rather than conversation.
The chorus repeats the idea of holding on versus letting go, with the added question of whether they are "still true today" or simply holding on to what once was. The final line, "silence is more comforting to me," suggests a resignation to the fact that this relationship may not be salvageable.
