Hold Me Down
Mansionair Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't hold my finger in the air
And tell you which way the wind blows
For I have tried so many times
Damn that look in your eyes!

Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold
Damn it, but don't you know that I will be there?

That I will be there?
That I will be there?
That I will be there?

I walk the streets
Moonlight hanging above me
Haunting its way through these dreams
You've told me so many times
That this is the place we loose our minds

Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold

Damn it, but don't you know that I will be there?

That I will be there?
That I will be there?
That I will be there?
That I will be there?

Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold





That I will be there?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Hold Me Down" by Mansionair depict the feelings of uncertainty and vulnerability with a touch of melancholy. The first verse starts with a statement of reluctance and hesitancy to give an opinion about something that can be subjective. The singer does not want to indicate which direction the wind might blow, as he does not seem to be sure about its direction himself. The second line illustrates the idea that the singer has experienced countless situations of uncertainty and doubts before, and this feeling might not be new to him. In the third line, there is a sense of frustration, as the singer seems to be struggling with the situation at hand, and the fourth sentence expresses a feeling of surprise that the singer has when he encounters the look in someone's eyes. The second verse starts with the singer describing a scene at night walking down the streets with the moon shining above him, which sets the tone for the rest of the verse. The singer speaks of how the dreams of the past still haunt him, and the person he is with- someone who may know him very well tells him that this is the place where they can lose their mind. The chorus of the song, where the phrase "Hold me down" is repeated four times in a row, suggests a need to feel secure and protected in a world full of confusion and uncertainty. "Don't you know that I will be there?" line in the chorus is an assurance that no matter what happens, the singer will be by the side of that person who needs help or support.


Overall, "Hold Me Down" is a song that deals with the issue of vulnerability and insecurity, where the singer seeks comfort and reassurance amidst the chaos of life. The open-ended metaphors used in the lyrics of the song add to the introspective and reflective mood that "Hold Me Down" portrays.


Line by Line Meaning

I won't hold my finger in the air
I won't make a guess or prediction


And tell you which way the wind blows
and tell you what's going to happen in the future


For I have tried so many times
because I've attempted it before


Damn that look in your eyes!
I'm frustrated by the expression in your eyes!


Hold me down, hold
Keep me grounded


That I will be there?
That I'll be present for you?


I walk the streets
I wander the roads


Moonlight hanging above me
The moonlight shadows me


Haunting its way through these dreams
and it's as if my dreams are being haunted by it.


You've told me so many times
You informed me repeatedly


That this is the place we loose our minds
That this is where we lose our sanity


Damn it, but don't you know that I will be there?
I'm frustrated but don't you remember that I'll be there for you?


Hold me down, hold
Keep me grounded


That I will be there?
That I'll be present for you?


Hold me down, hold
Keep me grounded


That I will be there?
That I'll be present for you?


Hold me down, hold
Keep me grounded


That I will be there?
That I'll be present for you?

Lyrics:

I won't hold my finger in the air
And tell you which way the wind blows
For I have tried so many times
Damn that look in your eyes

Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold

Dammit, but don't you know that I will be there?

Know that I will be there

Know that I will be there

Know that I will be there

I walk the streets
Moonlight hangin' above me
Haunting its way through these dreams
And you've told me so many times
That this is the place we lose our minds

Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold

Dammit, but don't you know that I will be there?

Know that I will be there

Know that I will be there

Know that I will be there

Know that I will be there

Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold
Hold me down, hold

That I will be there

You’re so funny, you’re like in my head every time I find a song I’ve been SEARCHING FOR!!!!

@sabinepetersen728

I actually saw them as the opening band for CHVRCHES (Oct. 28-at the Filmore in Charlotte, NC) and they're amazing! I remember my dad commenting on how he could hit those high notes so perfectly. Trust me, these guys are gods in concert.

@paranormcreepofficial1453

Still good to this day

@nutellajesus6224

The weird thing is this song was in 2014 so many people missing out on the good music

@missbelle_elle

Politics- blame them!

@missbelle_elle

& of course main stream bs- however if you ever go to Coachella... look for the smaller bands at the bottom at bad times, 5 years after that you’ll realize you missed it at probably so many festivals where no one knew them yet, only good production & management

@missbelle_elle

Because THEY PLAYED & no one knew! Maybe like 5% of people / total BS
