Hold On
Los Dynamite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're a bird with an eye for anything shiny
Searchin' the land
For a hero of a man
You say I need
More than my fair share of attention
But I think you know
That just isn't so
Underneath, I felt the fire of a burning question
Tearin' me apart
Right from the very start
And now I see
That it don't take a trick of the light to excite me
So strong
So long
You'll see
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
To what you
Know you got
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
Cause the world will turn if you're ready or not
Simplicity
A heart of gold, an old head, and young shoulders
Quiet and lovely
Becomin' part of me
And now I see
From a handful of names and a thousand faces
One light, burnin', furiously
I was tired of January
I was tired of June
I felt a change a-comin'
Oh, I was tired of January
Tired of June
I felt a change a-comin'
Oh, I felt a change a-comin
I felt a change a-comin
felt a change a-comin, soon
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
To what you
Know you got
Hold on
To what you
Been given lately
Hold on
Cause the world will turn if you're ready or not
Oh yeah, well the world will turn if you're ready or not
Oh, yes the world will turn if you're ready or not
The song "Hold On" by Los Dynamite seems to be a message of hope and encouragement to its listeners. The first verse talks about someone who's searching for a hero, but the singer thinks that person is mistaken because they don't need a hero. They are fine just as they are, and they shouldn't change for anyone else's expectations. The second verse is about finding simplicity and quietness among a thousand faces. The singer has found something valuable and beautiful among all the people, and it's become a part of them. The chorus, which is repeated several times, tells the listener to hold on to what they have and what they know because the world will keep going no matter what.
The rest of the song seems to build on this message of hope and encouragement. The bridge talks about feeling a change coming, which could be interpreted in many ways. Maybe the change is personal, like a new chapter in life, or maybe it's something more universal, like social or political change. Whatever it is, the message is that holding on to what you have and what you know will help you weather the change. The final chorus repeats the message that the world will keep turning, whether or not you're ready for it, but holding on will help you survive it.

Say you to me

You're a bird with an eye for anything shiny
You are easily attracted to shiny things and glittery objects
Searchin' the land
Traveling to find
For a hero of a man
Looking for a brave and admirable man
You say I need
You claim that I require
More than my fair share of attention
An excessive amount of attention
But I think you know
I believe you understand
That just isn't so
That is not true

Deep down, I had a passionate question
Tearin' me apart
