Held
Malibu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The big fire is howling
My guts scream out my sorrow
Is it today i'm dying
As the big bird lands
Life hits me hard again
But holds me
As the speed crashes me
I've lost
What it felt like to be
Held
I've lost
What it felt like to be
Touched
By thy light
Oh what it felt like
The song "Held" by Malibu is a poignant track that captures the emotions of loss and despair. The opening lines "As my breath kisses the window, The big fire is howling, My guts scream out my sorrow" seem to indicate a moment of intense pain and anguish, perhaps the loss of a loved one or a heartbreak. As the song progresses, the lyrics become more introspective, as the singer reflects on what it feels like to be held and touched by someone they care about. The lyrics suggest a sense of isolation and loneliness, as the singer laments the loss of this connection.
The metaphor of the "big bird" landing and life hitting hard again seems to suggest a moment of realization or clarity. The singer seems to understand that life can be unpredictable, and that sometimes we are powerless in the face of loss and grief. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the final lines, as the singer remembers what it felt like to be held and touched by someone they cared about. This memory serves as a reminder that love and connection are still possible, even in the face of loss and sorrow.
Overall, "Held" is a powerful and emotive track that speaks to the human experience of loss, grief, and the search for connection.

As my breath kisses the window
I am deep in thought, feeling the weight of my emotions
The big fire is howling
My feelings are raging out of control, like a wildfire
My guts scream out my sorrow
My heart is aching with pain and my emotions are overwhelming me
Is it today I'm dying
The weight of my emotions feels like it may consume me completely
As the big bird lands
Signaling the arrival of change, of something significant happening
Life hits me hard again
Reality is harsh and unforgiving, constantly throwing challenges my way
But holds me
Despite the struggle, there is something holding me together and providing comfort
As the speed crashes me
Feeling overwhelmed, like I am spiraling out of control and crashing into a reality I cannot escape
I've lost what it felt like to be held
I no longer feel safe and secure, like someone is there to support me
I've lost what it felt like to be touched, by thy light
I have lost my connection to something greater than myself, that once gave me hope and comfort
Oh, what it felt like
Reflecting on what it was like to have those feelings of safety, security, and hope

Such a haunting piece. The one track in music I have listened to that makes me feel unnerved. It's a really creepy piece.
