Holding On
Live Fish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me laugh and fall down, and dance all around
It's funny how things change.
You're already home,
When I feel so alone
I feel you touch my hand
And I'm closer than you've ever been before
Your smile speaks a thousand words
But your portrait says nothing at all
I've tried to say goodbye, before I found my reason why
I'm better off just holding on to hope.
The lyrics to Live Fish's song "Holding On" convey a sense of nostalgia and longing for a past relationship. The song begins with the reminiscence of the person who used to be always present for the singer, witnessing their happy and sorrowful moments alike. However, the singer acknowledges that things have changed and this person is no longer there for them. Despite this, the singer feels a deep connection to the person, and even though physically distant, they still feel a sense of closeness.
The second verse seems to be addressed to this person directly - perhaps they have passed away, or moved far away. The singer again feels their presence through a touch that they imagine feeling on their hand. Despite the physical separation, the connection to this person remains strong. The chorus continues to show the singer's internal struggle, as they attempt to say goodbye, but still hold on to hope that perhaps this relationship can be rekindled.
In summation, "Holding On" is a song that is filled with bittersweet memories of a past relationship. It conveys a sense of longing and nostalgia that is palpable to the listener. The song suggests that even if a relationship ends or changes, the memories and the emotions attached to it can last forever.

You always used to say, you'd always be there to see

It's funny how things change.
You promised that you would always support me, even in my lowest moments, but circumstances have changed and you are no longer able to be there for me like you used to.
You're already home,
When I feel so alone
I feel you touch my hand
And I'm closer than you've ever been before
Waving goodbye at the door.
Although you are physically far away, I feel your presence and support when I'm feeling lonely, which makes me feel closer to you than ever before. Even as you leave, I feel comforted by the knowledge that you are still with me in some way.
Your smile speaks a thousand words
But your portrait says nothing at all
I've tried to say goodbye, before I found my reason why
I'm better off just holding on to hope.
Your outward appearance may be positive and reassuring, but it doesn't necessarily convey the truth of your emotions. Even as I struggled to let go of you, I realized that it was more beneficial for me to hold onto hope and faith that our relationship will endure.

Nice cage / pen Mike. I love my 4 leaf clover minnow / bait fish trap that I bought from you guys. I still use it to catch my bream/sunfish that we use to live line for cats and bass. Here it is in action. A little lite, but i think someone took some out before i got there to retrieve it. http://youtu.be/NgR3x-NcZjs?t=37s Also it was Cold as hell the night i put it out there. Thanks again for an awesome product. I plan on using all spring and summer when i need it.
@jurassicsushi
Yeah np man. I will be sure to get more video of the trap. My only suggestion would be is to change that black elastic line that is used to keep the doors closed. Mine to started losing elasticity and i needed to tie it or use a swivel to close it. no big deal. Also you can add me on Steam if you want to. just search for JurassicSushi or try putting a space inbetween the name. DayZ is Great, the mods for it are even better.
