McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me that it's true
Say the magic words and
I'd destroy the world for you
An army for the broken hearted
Marching through the streets
And every city's burning
I wanna hold you
My skies are turning black
(Feels like a heart attack)
And I'd do anything you ask
I wanna hold you bad
I'd melt the polar icecaps, baby
And watch them flood the earth
And I'd do anything to show you
What your love is worth
So, won't you show me your devotion
To heal my aching heart?
It's like a neutron bomb explosion
Tearing me apart
I wanna hold you
My skies are turning black
(Feels like a heart attack)
And I'd do anything you ask
I wanna hold you bad
Attention please
We interrupt this program
With some disturbing news
A worldwide evacuation
We're going to lose
And they've pulverized the nation
I guess it shows us just what love can do
I wanna hold you
My skies are turning black
(Feels like a heart attack)
And I'd do anything you ask
I wanna hold you bad, bad, bad
I'd do anything you ask
I wanna hold you bad
The lyrics of McFly's "I Wanna Hold You" are a representation of a person who is deeply in love with someone and would do anything for them. The song opens with an intense ask from the singer to confess their feelings and say the magic words that they want to hear. They take pride in their feelings and proclaim that they would "destroy the world" to possess their love. The lines "An army for the broken-hearted, marching through the streets, and every city's burning to the ground under your feet" describe the effect that their love has on the singer’s world. It's as if they are unstoppable and powerful, but only when they have the love of the one they desire.
The chorus of the song is an affirmation of the singer's love and longing for his lover. The lyrics "My skies are turning black, feels like a heart attack, and I’d do anything you ask, I wanna hold you bad" express the extreme nature of his passion. He's willing to go to any lengths to make his lover happy and be with them.

The lines "We're going to lose, and they’ve pulverized the nation, I guess it shows us just what love can do," hint at the idea that love is a powerful and destructive force that can bring both joy and chaos into our lives.
Overall, McFly's "I Wanna Hold You" is a powerful song that expresses the depth of love and emotion that can exist between two people. It speaks of the intense longing, passion, and even the destructive nature of love.

I'll Be OK-Mcfly
lyrics↓↓
When everything is going wrong
And things are just a little strange
It's been so long now
You've forgotten how to smile
And overhead the skies are clear
But it still seems to rains on you
And your only friends
All have better things to do
When you're down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When you're down and lost
Along the way
Oh just tell yourself
Ah, I'll be ok
Now things are only getting worse
And you need someone to take the blame
(Need someone to take the blame)
When your love has gone
There's no one to share the pain
You're sleeping with the TV on
And you're lying in an empty bed
(Lying in an empty bed)
All the alcohol in the world
Would never help me to foregrt
When you're down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When you're down and lost
Along the way
Try a little harder
Try your best to make it
Through the day
Just tell yourself
Ah, I'll be ok
You're not alone
(You're not alone)
You're not alone
(You're not alone)
You're not alone
Just tell yourself Ah, I'll be ok
Just tell yourself Ah, I'll be ok
Won't you tell yourself
When you're down and lost
And you need a helping hand
When you're down and lost
Along the way
Try a little harder
Try your best to make it
Through the day
Just tell yourself
Ah, I'll be ok
Ah, I'll be ok
Ah, I'll be ok

I've just watched Just my luck again (actually the movie that made me discover mcfly years ago) and now I just watch all their old mvs and damn I feel so nostalgic. Dougie's such a cutie!
@desireealicea593
Haha same i discovered them in that movie too. I love that movie and the band.
@sumithingmire3879
Same here
@cayesh1234
this song is so helpful on rough days. The message is that you, alone, can get things done. Other songs like "True colours" talk about how you can call "them" up, because you'll know "they'll" be there. I'm much more into selfhelp.
