Royal Teeth is a happy accident. On a whim, the New Orleans-based band started incorporating samples and electronics to its indie vibe. Though this sounds mainstream, the band catches audiences off-guard with its memorable male and female vocal hooks.
More than ever, the band has cemented its stylistic sound. Before, the lineup changed from show-to-show. Now, the six members are set, ready for royalty.

Hold Me
Royal Teeth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take it as it comes – won’t slow down
We’re chasing down the sun – it’s you and me
The night has just begun – so don’t fall asleep
If morning never comes – hold me now
I’ve wasted many days and many nights
How its suppose to be – you here with me
The world can end today – hold me now
Hold me – just hold me
we don’t need - the morning
Show me – tonight we
Are finally – living
The lighting – is breaking
Your body – is shaking
Hold me – just hold me
Hold me now
