World Hold On
S-MUSIC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everything it touches turns weak
An antique or an eyelash stuck in your cheek
The paper thin skin of a crowd chasing you
Down a lost and dead-end trail
With a guilt no alibi can curtail
That blows through Gena Rowland's hair
Land ahoy I fill my weak lungs with this joy
Dizzy on the deck hopin' that I'd last until we land
With an envelope burning a hole in my hand
Bearing the names of the winners who walked away
From the games that the slaves love to play
To replace the air and the sea, leaving you no way to fly to me
The world is held together by the wind
That blows through Gena Rowland's hair
Through the window, the warm summer air does a two-step
I wish I could think of some way I could keep it
And clear away the mission street in my head
That keeps this watery weariness in our bed and
Sets up more windmills that all waste my time missing
When it should just be your lips that I'm kissing
Don't tell me that you don't wanna hear
The clock ticking on the shelf by our bed, oh it's so near
Let the light turn green and leave us just like fear
There's a light turnin' green leavin' us without a prayer
The world is held together by the wind
That blows through Gena Rowland's hair
The world is held together by the wind
That blows through Gena Rowland's hair
In S-MUSIC's song "World Hold On," the singer seems to be struggling with feelings of disconnection and longing for a loved one who is physically distant. The first verse mentions the wind, which pulls the singer around and weakens everything it touches. The wind seems to serve as a metaphor for the forces that can make us feel lost and powerless in our lives. The singer goes on to describe a crowd chasing them down a dead-end trail, burdened with guilt that can't be alleviated. The second verse describes the singer's own journey, as they travel on a ship and fill their lungs with joy, hoping to make it to their destination. However, they are burdened with an envelope containing the names of winners who walked away from games that the "slaves love to play." This suggests a sense of bitterness and disillusionment with societal structures that prize competition and winning above all else, leaving others behind in the process.
The chorus repeats the phrase "The world is held together by the wind/ That blows through Gena Rowland's hair." Gena Rowland is an American actress who was known for her work in independent films. It is unclear what the significance of her hair or presence is in relation to the song, as she passed away in 2019 and the song was released in 2004. The third verse suggests that the singer is trying to hold onto the memory of their loved one, even as they struggle with the mundane realities of life (such as Mission Street, which is a street in San Francisco). They long for the intimacy of physical touch and seem to be frustrated by their inability to have it. The song ends on a somewhat ominous note, with the mention of a clock ticking and a light turning green, leaving the singer without a prayer.
