Holding On
Mr. Silla Lyrics

Dom y and r
Song intro, not intended to convey any specific meaning

A sad song's a sad song ain't it
The fact that a song is sad is self-evident, and applies to this song as well

Can't help if I feel sad sometimes but I feel sad
The singer experiences sadness, and cannot control when these feelings occur

Almost all the time ya hurd
The singer feels sad most of the time

It's whatever tho
The singer is resigned to feeling sad and accepts it as part of life

Life feels like a loveless fairytale
The singer feels that life lacks the romantic magic and happiness that a fairytale promises

Music is an art from the heart can't teach art
Music is a personal expression from the soul, and cannot be taught in a traditional classroom setting

Life feels more like a loveless fairytale
Repeating the earlier sentiment that life lacks romantic happiness

Music is an art from the heart can't teach art oh no
Reiterating that music comes from a personal place and cannot be taught in the traditional sense

They say you don't know when your last day on this earth is
A reminder to live life to the fullest as one never knows when their time may end

So I tell my family to ride out through the best and the worst
The singer encourages their family to stick together through good and bad times

Fuck them opps they be hatin on them young niggas
A statement of animosity towards enemies that hate on young people

They thing
Unclear what this means out of context

But you never know what go on inside a young person's mind
Despite the bravado of some young people, their inner thoughts and struggles are unknown to others

It's long live Eliana you was someone I truly loved
A tribute to someone named Eliana who the singer loved and has passed away

Don't ask to see no pictures because you gon make me miss her even more
Looking at pictures of Eliana would only make the singer more sad and nostalgic

Life feels like a loveless fairytale
Repeating the idea that life lacks romantic happiness

Music is an art from my soul and my heart
Clarifying that the singer's music is from their personal expression

And I'm still holding on to the good times we had
The singer remembers the happy moments and holds onto them

Cause I'm still holding onto a fairytale oh no
Despite feelings of sadness, the singer still hopes for romantic happiness

Fairytale
Reiteration of prior sentiment

Loves more like a loveless art
The love the singer experiences is devoid of the magic and happiness that art often portrays

I'm still holding on to the good and the bad times we shared
The singer remembers all moments shared with a loved one, not just the happy ones

Can't take it back take me back to when love once felt real
The singer wishes to go back to a time when their love felt genuine and happy

Music is an art from the heart can't teach art oh no
Reiterating the idea that music comes from the soul and cannot be taught in a traditional sense
