Holes
It Prevails Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From this hole that I fell into back then.
So many people with closed minds,
Who need to see things from the outside,
At least one time.
I feel alive, but there's something missing always.
Change is something I need to see constanly within myself;
My friends and the world.
We are lifetimes away from this and I'm just starting to see it.
Searching further into all my dreams.
I'm trying to figure out where this lifetime can take me.
Pushing myself to always be the person that is living for their dreams.
Not enough time to waste it, not enough promised days ahead.
Pushing one's self is the hardest thing anybody in this world can find themselves doing.
I'm always trying to see it, I'm only starting to see it.
The lyrics to It Prevails's song Holes delve into themes of feeling trapped and stuck in one's current situation. The opening line, "I will never see the outside again, from this hole that I fell into back then," sets the tone for the rest of the song where the singer expresses a sense of hopelessness and despair. The metaphor of being stuck in a hole that one fell into is a powerful one that evokes a feeling of being unable to climb out of a difficult situation.
The following lines express frustration with people who have "closed minds" and cannot see things from a different perspective. It highlights the importance of being open-minded and willing to consider different viewpoints. The third stanza speaks to the need for change and growth within oneself and in the world. The singer expresses a desire to constantly push themselves to be better and to always strive towards their dreams.
The final stanza of the song emphasizes the need to make the most out of the limited time we have on this Earth. The line "not enough promised days ahead" speaks to the fleeting nature of life and the need to make the most out of every moment. The song is ultimately a call to action to push oneself to always strive towards growth and to never give up on one's dreams.
