Hold Me
Inishmore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In this world of rare emotions,
In this world of tight chains.
You're the only one in this wide ocean,
You make the feeling of love prevail.
In the distance you're the shining light,
I'll try to find a way,
So I'm walking on, mile for mile,
But you're not nearer; you're so far away.

And the sun starts to set,
The horizon is bleeding,
The night arrives like a dark angel.

I'm lost in a deep forest,
I've lost my way forever.
The light fades away too quickly,
No chance for us to find together.
The clock's ticking, the last hour's fading.
There's no place left to hide.
The last thing you can do for me,
Is hold me, when I die.

I feel my heart it still is beating,
I know I'm still alive.
This cold night is all around me,
The real world is far behind.
So I'm walking through the darkness,
I hope I'm on the right way.
In my mind is only silence,
But my heart screams, I don't want to stay.

And you're giving me new power,
I feel you are near,
But the dark angel wants me to bleed.

My heart is drowning. I can feel.
In this arctic desert of my soul.
It's much too late, no rescue's near,
My mind's in rage, I've lost control.

The forest clears, an open land,
It hurts my eyes, the light's so clear.
I've finally reached it; it's in my hand
But now it's too late, my treasure dear!

Now that I found you
My heart will live forever.
I know I could never give up
And finally we're together.
The moon is shinning, time stands still,
There's no need for a place to hide.




Released for the rest of my life,
You hold me as I die.

But you're not nearer; you're so far away.
But unfortunately, you're still far away


And the sun starts to set,
The day is coming to an end


The horizon is bleeding,
The sky is turning red


The night arrives like a dark angel.
The darkness comes like death


I'm lost in a deep forest,
I'm lost in my thoughts and emotions


I've lost my way forever.
I may never find my way back


The light fades away too quickly,
My hope is disappearing

I sense your presence


But the dark angel wants me to bleed.
But darkness wants to consume me


My heart is drowning. I can feel.

In this arctic desert of my soul.
My soul feels cold and barren


It's much too late, no rescue's near,
I am in too deep and there is no way out


My mind's in rage, I've lost control.
My thoughts are chaotic and I am out of control


The forest clears, an open land,
My path becomes clear


It hurts my eyes, the light's so clear.
The clarity of my situation is painful


I've finally reached it; it's in my hand
I have achieved my goal


But now it's too late, my treasure dear!
But I have waited too long and it's too late


Now that I found you
Now that I have found love


My heart will live forever.
My heart will forever be full of love


I know I could never give up
I know I could never stop loving you


And finally we're together.
And we are finally united


The moon is shinning, time stands still,
The world is peaceful and perfect in this moment


There's no need for a place to hide.
There's nowhere to hide because I am safe in your love


Released for the rest of my life,
I am free now


You hold me as I die.
You are there for me in my final moments
