Hold On
Murs Olly Lyrics

Middle of the night when it comes creeping
When worries and anxiety arise at night and disrupt your sleep, leaving you feeling sleepless and restless.

I lay awake when I should be sleeping
Instead of getting the rest that you need, you allow yourself to constantly dwell on these worries and anxieties that keep you awake at night.

Like an Agatha Christie mystery
This refers to how sometimes, the source of one's worries can be difficult to pinpoint, much like a murder mystery that needs unraveling.

Do an intermission
A pause or break from the constant worrying and anxiety in order to regain composure and perspective.

I hold on
Despite the worries and anxieties, one chooses to persevere and stay strong through tough times.

Working everyday
The daily grind of life and dealing with problems that come along with it.

Living for the weekend
Anticipating weekends and breaks as a reprieve from the daily difficulties and stressors of life.

I never learned to swim how did I end up in the deep end?
Feeling out of one's element and ill-equipped to handle certain situations, feeling like they are in over their head and struggling to stay afloat.

Like a champion high diver waiting for the olympics
Feeling like you're in a pivotal moment in life that requires action, much like how a diving championship is a crucial point in a diver's career.

We wrestle with the devil in the flickering light
Fighting one's inner demons amidst the uncertainty of the future, with a hint of desperation and fear.

No way to tell who's winning the fight
Feeling like the situation and struggles are constant, with no clear end in sight and no way of knowing who will come out on top.

You're gonna get through it
Assurance that one will come out on the other end of their struggles stronger and better than before.

Time and again it's the same old question
The feeling of going in circles and dealing with the same problems over and over again.

Where am I heading with this strange obsession
Uncertainty and questioning of the path or direction that one is taking in their lives, despite feeling compelled to continue down it.

Like a gambler playing on when he keeps on losing
Despite the hardships and constant failure, there is still a desire to continue down this path or struggle.

Yesterday is dead and gone
A reminder to let go of the past and focus on the present and future instead of dwelling on things that cannot be changed.

So today, this life goes on
The constant movement of life and the need to keep pushing forward, even when it feels difficult or impossible.

Got to keep on moving
Continuing down the path of life, despite the struggles, in order to reach a better future.

You gotta keep on moving
Reinforcing the importance of persevering and pushing through tough times in order to reach success and happiness.
