Hold
Parkwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please pick up my pieces before your cold breath blows them away
I can't believe you said you'd be there for me
But now I'm stuck I can't break free
And fuck this hold you have on me
'Cause I've tried to get to the bottom of this
I just need a glimpse inside your head
'Cause I've tried
('Cause I've tried)
(Well I've tried)
What do I have to do to make it back to you
I feel my self worth slipping I feel my whole shaking
What do I have to do to make myself not have to crawl back to you
What do I have to do to make it back to you
I feel my self worth slipping I feel my whole shaking
What do I have to do to make myself not have to crawl back to you
I feel my self worth slipping but I won't let you take me down
'Cause I've tried to get to the bottom of this
To get to what makes you tick
I just need a glimpse inside your head
I've finally set myself free
The lyrics of Parkwood's song "Hold" depict a person who has been hurt and is hesitant to move on, for they fear being hurt again. The first line of the song "Pick me up I'm lying here afraid to move, afraid to speak" expresses the initial hesitation and vulnerability caused by the hurtful experience. They then plea for the person who hurt them to pick up their pieces before their betrayal changes them for the worse. The lines "I can't believe you said you'd be there for me, but now I'm stuck, I can't break free, and f--k this hold you have on me" illustrates the bitterness and anger that the hurt has caused. The person is now stuck and unable to move on from the hold of betrayal.
The chorus of the song repeats the questions "What do I have to do to make it back to you? What do I have to do to make myself not have to crawl back to you?" which highlights the struggle between wanting to move on and still having feelings for the person who hurt them. They feel their self-worth slipping and their entire being shaking as they try to reconcile their emotions. However, in the end, they declare that they won't let the person who hurt them take them down and that they have finally set themselves free.
