Heart in Hand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I will never care any less, nor will I fold,
We sometimes make the wrong choices,
But I will never care any less, nor will I fold.
I'll remember all the good times we had,
And the times we shared,
Brings me back to life, the sun will shine once again,
Every moment of my life is precious to me,
You will be the light to get me through.
I make this promise to myself.
I won't sacrifice my happiness for you,
This is all we have,
This is all I have to give. x2
I'll remember all the good times we had,
And the times we shared,
Brings me back to life, the sun will shine once again.
There is no such thing as a perfect life,
But we will try our best, our best, not captured on film, forget the negative, no regrets, only memories.
Only memories. x2
We, we won't taint ourselves. x4
Yeah!
The Heart in Hand's song Only Memories talks about the ups and downs of life and relationships. The first two lines of the lyrics convey the idea that life can be hard and difficult at times, but the singer of the song is not going to back down, and neither will they stop caring. The lyrics further explore the theme of mistakes and wrong choices, emphasizing the fact that life can be unpredictable and sometimes things don't work in your favor. However, the singer is determined to focus on the good times, the memories, which have the power to bring sunshine and light back into their life.
Throughout the song, there is a clear emphasis on the idea of cherishing every moment and not compromising one's happiness for someone else's sake. The lyrics speak to the importance of self-care and mental health, something that is not always highlighted in popular music. The chorus emphasizes the idea of memories being the most important thing in life, and the importance of focusing on the positive aspects rather than negative ones.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was written following the departure of their lead vocalist Charlie Holmes, and it reflects the band's journey through difficult times. Another interesting fact is that the album "Only Memories" was produced by Joey Sturgis, who has worked with bands like Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men, and The Devil Wears Prada. The song was released in 2011, and it quickly gained popularity among fans of the melodic hardcore genre. The song has been described as an emotional rollercoaster, with its powerful instrumentation and memorable lyrics.

We find somethings in life, unbearable,
There are situations in life that can seem too difficult to handle
But I will never care any less, nor will I fold,

Still here, this song man...it’s with me forever. I always thought emotion in music was bullshit, but here I am coming back to this song every now and then reminiscing about a better time which is quite frankly only memories..it’s hard to deal with I feel like, but the future will always hold positives. Either losing my mind or shedding an old skin
