Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooo...
Everytime You leave I let you take the best of me
But you can have it baby you know i don't mind
Whenever I'm alone the universe is testing me
Coz i know if it was meant to be than you'd be mine
Everything I felt
Yeah i know you felt too
When it all got real so that you be here but it only skid[?] you

(You can tell that you want me)
Wohooo...
I just want that you do hold me down
(You can take what you want from me)
Wohooo...
I just want that you do hold me now
(You can tell that you want me)[?]

Ooo...
Just Hold me down
Ooo...
Baby hold me now
Ooo...
Baby hold me down
Ooo...

Try to run away you know that I'd run after you
But even when I catch you I'm at a breath
I gave you all my love and never got it back from you
I'd be with someone else but now there's nothing left

Everything I felt
Yeah i know you felt too
When it all got real so that you be here but it only skid[?] you
(You can tell that you want me)
Wohooo...
I just want that you do hold me down
(You can take what you want from me)
Wohooo...
I just want that you do hold me now
(You can tell that you want me)
Ooo...
Just hold me down
Ooo...
Baby hold me now
Ooo.
Baby hold me down
Ooo...
Don't want someone like you, there's just something bout you
Don't know why you can't just hold me down the way you used to
Don't want someone like you there's just something bout you
Don't know why you can't just hold me down the way you uses to

You can tell that you want me.
Wohooo...
I just want that you do hold me down[?]
(You can take what you want from me)
Wohooo...
I just want that you do hold me now[?]
(You can tell that you want me) [?]
Wohooo...
Just Hold me down
Wohooo...
Baby hold me now
Wohooo...

Baby hold me down
Wohooo...

Overall Meaning

In Rj's song "Hold Me Down," the singer is expressing their longing for someone who they believe they are meant to be with, even though that person has repeatedly left them and taken the best of them each time. Despite this, the singer is willing to give themselves to the person entirely and doesn't mind if they take everything from them because they believe that if they were intended to be together, then it is not a problem. They go on to state that every time they are alone, they feel as though the universe is testing them because they believe that they are meant to be with this individual. They are aware that the other person feels the same intensity of emotions but can't seem to hold on to the relationship. The singer pleads for their lover to hold them down and take what they want, declaring that they will stay with them no matter what happens.

The lyrics show the vulnerability that the singer feels towards their lover and how they are willing to let themselves be completely consumed by their intense emotions for them. The constant leaving of the lover has left their heart shattered, and they are looking for a sense of stability and assurance. The chorus of the song, "Just hold me down, Baby hold me now," is a plea for their lover to give them this sense of security, which they believe is the key to them being together forever, even though it eludes them at the moment. The lyrics are deeply introspective, yet they are relatable to others who have been in similar positions, causing the song to resonate with many people.
