Hold on Tight
Magica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel it burning harder
She is breathing fire
I'm giving all I can
but still it's not enough this time
we must get higher
Her wings cover the sky and feels like thunder
Is crashing through me
A nightmare spawned from hell
Is at your back and if you wanna live
You cast the spell... and flee
I'll dive into her soul
And I'll be stronger, faster, more
Hold on tight don't let me go
Hold your fear don't let it show
We'll be gone
In a moment, you'll see
Hold on tight, don't look behind
Magic's messing with your mind
But you are safe
While you're riding with me
The Magica song "Hold on Tight" depicts a fantastical narrative of someone trying to escape from an unknown danger, with the help of a mysterious figure with magical powers. The lyrics describe the perilous journey of the singer and their reliance on the guidance and protection of the magical entity. The first verse creates a sense of urgency and danger, with the singer feeling the heat and intensity of the danger approaching. The singer describes the magical figure as having wings that cover the sky and breathing fire, heightening the sense of otherworldly power.
Throughout the song, the singer assures the listener that they are safe with them, and encourages them to "hold on tight" to avoid being left behind. The use of the word "magic" in the lyrics emphasizes the sense of mystique and supernatural power that the figure possesses. The chorus encourages the listener to trust in the guidance of the magical figure and hold onto their fear, as they are being taken to safety.
Overall, "Hold on Tight" is a song that combines fantasy and suspense, with an underlying message of trust and hope. It uses the magical entity as a metaphor for the idea that there is always someone or something that can guide us through the dangers of life, and the importance of holding onto that support to overcome adversity.
