Holding On
Ghost Dance Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Throw me a line, catch me falling in time
Tell me that I’m only dreaming
Just hold out your hand now
Don’t try and understand how
Nothing is quite what it seems and

Something here inside of me will never be the same
You had the world in the palm of you hand

And you threw it all away

Keep holding on
Time to leave it all
Keep holding on to me now
Holding on
Turn to me once more
Keep holding on to me now

If you let go, slip away before I wake
Then there’s no-one left to blame
If you let go something here inside of me
Will never be the same

Throw me a line, quick falling this time
Give me something I can believe in
Just hold out your hand now
Don’t try and understand how
Nothing is quite what it seems and

Something here inside of me will never be the same
You had the world in the palm of you hand
And you threw it all away

Keep holding on
Time to leave it all
Keep holding on to me now
Holding on

Turn to me once more
Keep holding on to me now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of this song, "Holding On" by Ghost Dance, deal with the theme of holding on to someone, even when things seem impossible. The first verse talks about catching someone who is falling and reassuring them that it's only a dream. The chorus repeats the phrase "keep holding on" to emphasize the importance of staying committed and not giving up.

The second verse expresses the fear of letting go and how it will change something inside oneself permanently. The line "you had the world in the palm of your hand, and you threw it all away" suggests that the person they're holding on to has made a mistake or let go of something important. The bridge repeats the first verse but with an urgency in the request to "throw me a line," to give them something to believe in.

The song conveys a sense of urgency and desperation, and the repetition of the phrase "keep holding on" is a reminder to never give up, even when things seem hopeless. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but they may deal with themes of love, loss, and perseverance.
