Holiday
Negative Space Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You fall faster when bending backwards
We've been back there
Feel the street sides taking half lives
Never asked why
Don't you know that crossing fingers and hiding laughter never mattered?
So nevermind if what we have isn't

Our uphill climb has led to valentines
Afraid we'd fall apart in arms
Now it's yours and it's

Better than surrender
Better late than never
Always
Then I'll say
Better than forever
Better late than never
Always
A holiday

I was tired of listening to all the reasons they were giving
Stories start with good beginning and leave us spinning
But you would creep in any seasons
Anywhere that you could sleep in
Nevermind our thick and thin reasons

Our uphill climb has led to valentines
Afraid we'd fall apart in arms
Now it's yours and it's

Better than surrender
Better late than never
Always
Then I'll say
Better than forever
Better late than never
Always
A holiday

Falling faster
Bending backwards
We've been back there
Now two years after
Bending backward never mattered

Nevermind if what we have isn't

Better than surrender
Better late than never
Always
Then I'll say
Better than forever
Better late than never




Always
A holiday

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Negative Space's song "Holiday" seem to be about a relationship that has had its ups and downs but has ultimately come out better for it. The first verse talks about falling fast when bending backwards, which could be a metaphor for taking risks and being vulnerable in a relationship. The line "Feel the street sides taking half lives" is a bit more difficult to unpack, but it could mean that the couple has been through some tough times and had to sacrifice parts of themselves to make it work. The line "Never asked why" seems to suggest that they didn't question the difficulties they faced, but simply pushed through them.


The chorus is where the song really shines, with the repeated refrain of "Better than surrender, better late than never, always" suggesting that the relationship may not have been perfect, but it was worth fighting for. The line "Our uphill climb has led to valentines" is a clever way of saying that all the hard work and struggle was worth it in the end. The second verse continues with the theme of overcoming obstacles, with the line "Stories start with good beginning and leave us spinning" suggesting that things may have started off well, but got complicated along the way. The verse also includes some more cryptic lines, such as "Nevermind our thick and thin reasons," which could mean that the couple didn't really need to explain or justify their reasons for staying together.


Overall, "Holiday" is a song about the triumph of love over adversity. It's about sticking with someone even when things get tough, and realizing that the hard times were necessary to get to where they are now.


Line by Line Meaning

You fall faster when bending backwards
Moving away from something or someone allows you to fall faster than before


We've been back there
We have gone through similar situations before


Feel the street sides taking half lives
The streets are taking parts of our lives as we pass by and experience them


Never asked why
We never questioned what was happening around us


Don't you know that crossing fingers and hiding laughter never mattered?
Superstitious beliefs and attempts to conceal true emotions did not affect the outcome


So nevermind if what we have isn't
It is not important if what we have is not perfect


Our uphill climb has led to valentines

Always
This attitude should always be kept


Then I'll say
I will then proclaim


A holiday
Our relationship is like a vacation from the stresses of life


I was tired of listening to all the reasons they were giving
I was getting sick of hearing the excuses they were making


Stories start with good beginning and leave us spinning
Tales often start off with something good, but then throw us for a loop


But you would creep in any seasons
You would come see me no matter the time of year or how difficult it was to do so


Anywhere that you could sleep in
Wherever you could find a place to rest


Nevermind our thick and thin reasons
Let's forget the reasons why we stuck by each other through good and bad


Falling faster
Falling more quickly


Bending backwards
Moving away from something or someone


Now two years after
We are now two years into our relationship
