Walking By
Holiday Parade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
locked up inside your room
it's about the morning breaking
always just a bit too soon
it's about the way you're scared
baby, just maybe I'm aware
this is what you need 'cause
can't help myself
i wanna be with you
hit the mic, a quick check
one, two singing out my lungs
just to reach you
I'm alive
and I keep my cool one more time
and you just keep on walking by
I take a day to tell myself
I'm gonna end up fine
it's all part of some master plan
we're all a little lost inside
even if i run right now
swore you off
I'd still come back somehow
and here I am now
I take a day to soak you in
for a while
I'm hanging on the best I can
let go
cause maybeif I felt it once
Then I could somehow feel it again
The song “Walking By” by Holiday Parade is a beautiful song about love, memories, and longing. It’s about the time spent with someone who makes you feel alive, and the pain you feel when they’re gone. The song starts with the singer recalling the nights spent locked up in the room with his love interest. It’s about the way they spent time together, and the memories they created. However, the morning always seems to break a bit too soon, indicating that the singer wishes they had more time together. The singer is aware of the fear his love interest has, but he still believes that this is what she needs.
The chorus of the song talks about how every time the love interest walks into the room, the singer can’t help but feel drawn to her. He wants to be with her, and he sings his heart out just to reach her. He keeps his cool, even though he’s unable to stop himself from feeling so strongly about her. Despite all of this, she just keeps on walking by, and the singer is left yearning for her.
In the second verse, the singer tries to convince himself that he’ll be fine without her. He believes that everything is part of some master plan, and he tries to find comfort in that. However, he knows that he’ll always come back to her, no matter how hard he tries to stay away. He takes a day to soak everything in, and he’s just hanging on the best he can. Finally, he wonders if he felt it once, he could somehow feel it again, which shows that he believes in the power of love and the possibility of renewal.
