Hold Me Down
Mansionair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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?
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.

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?
