Hold Tight
Gino Soccio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you see that what you feel is real
Hold tight
Can you see that what you feel is real
Theres no use looking around
For something much better
You got it right here with me
Its all youβ²ll ever need
So dont let it slip away
And when your search is over
You'll want to get baCK closer
All that you left behind
This feeling inside
Is taking over
You canβ²t deny it
It's reality!
Hold tight
Can you see that what you feel is real
Hold tight
Can you see that what you feel is real
Hold tight
Can you see that what you feel is real
Hold tight
Can you see that what you feel is real
Its takes so long to find
And now its so easy
You thinking, we just cant last
Take a good look, at what you got
And dont let it slip away
And while you think it over
You'll never get closer
Somethings you just cant change
Dont lose control
Dont break away
The feel is right
The feel is right
You dont know what you got
Till its gone
So dont let it slip away
Its hard to get it back
When you lose it
So dont let it
Dont let it drift away way way...
Hold tight
Can you see that what you feel is real
Hold tight
Can you see that what you feel is real
Hold tight
Can you see that what you feel is real
Hold tight
Can you see that what you feel is real
Hold tight hold tight
Can you see the feel is right
Hold tight hold tight
Can you see the feel is right
Hold tight hold tight
Can you see the feel is right
Hold tight hold tight
Can you see the feel is right
Hold tight hold tight
Can you see the feel is right
Hold tight hold tight
Can you see the feel is right
Hold tight hold tight
Can you see the feel is right...
In the song "Hold Tight," Gino Soccio sings about the importance of appreciating and holding onto what one already has in life. He urges the listener to recognize that what they feel is real and to hold tight to it, rather than constantly searching for something better. Soccio emphasizes that it is easy to lose sight of what is truly valuable and that it is important to not let it slip away.
The chorus of the song repeats multiple times, emphasizing the importance of holding tight to what one already has. The lines "Can you see that what you feel is real" also highlight the idea that one should trust their own feelings and not constantly look for external validation. The verses detail the danger of losing something good because of a belief that something better is out there, and the regret that comes with realizing what was lost.
Overall, the song is a message about the importance of appreciating what one has in life and not taking it for granted. It is a reminder to hold tight to what matters most and not get too caught up in chasing the next best thing.

Hold tight
Hold on tightly to what you have
Can you see that what you feel is real
Realize that what you are feeling is genuine
There's no use looking around
Stop searching for something better
For something much better
To find something that's superior
You got it right here with me
What you seek is right in front of you
It's so plain to see
It's very obvious
It's all you'll ever need
It's everything you will ever require
So don't let it slip away
Take care not to lose it
And when your search is over
Once you have found what you seek
You'll want to get back closer
You would want to draw closer to it
All that you left behind
Everything that you abandoned
This feeling inside
The emotion being felt internally
Is taking over
It's becoming predominant
You can't deny it
It's impossible to refute
It's reality!
It's the truth!
It takes so long to find
It requires a long time to discover
And now it's so easy
And presently, it's effortless
You're thinking, we just can't last
You're contemplating that the relationship won't endure
Take a good look at what you got
Examine what you have
And don't let it slip away
Don't lose it
And while you think it over
As you ponder on it
You'll never get closer
You'll never get any nearer
Somethings you just can't change
There are some things that can't be modified
Don't lose control
Maintain your composure
Don't break away
Don't leave or end the relationship
The feel is right
The sensation is accurate
You don't know what you got
You're unaware of what you possess
Till it's gone
Until what you had is no more
So don't let it slip away
Therefore, do not lose it
It's hard to get it back
It's challenging to reclaim it
When you lose it
When you no longer have it
So don't let it
So take care of it and don't let it go
Don't let it drift away way way...
Don't let it collapse and disappear gradually
Can you see the feel is right
Do you perceive that the sensation is correct
