Holding On
Silent Season Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The air we breath the things we seen
Look farther then you moved
I can't bare to let this go
But what else can I do?
I can't move!
Feeling stronger
Holding on
To you, to you now
From far away I've seen a face
That I know so long
Where the hell have you been
You never even cared
But now you're gone!
Tell me how you can
Make things feel right
If You won't stay
Cause I'm holding on
Feeling stronger
Holding on
To you, to you now
I can't erase the scars (Inside)
It's killing me but I survive (Survive)
I broken every tie I have with you
Still holding on inside
What can I (What can I)
What can I (What can I)
What can I do?
Holding on
Feeling stronger holding on
To you, to you
Tell me how you can
Make things feel right
If You won't stay
Tell me how you can
Make things feel right
If You won't stay
The lyrics of Silent Season's song "Holding On" are full of the pain and heartache of a broken relationship. The singer is holding on to the memory of their former partner, even though they know it's time to let go. The first verse speaks to the difficulty of moving on, as the air they breathe and the things they see remind them of the past. The singer knows they can't let go but also realizes that they are powerless to change the situation. The chorus then emphasizes the struggle of holding on, even when it becomes overwhelming.
The second verse introduces the idea that the singer has seen their former partner from afar. The pain of seeing them again, only to realize that they never really cared, is a brutal blow. Despite this, the singer is still unable to let go, and the chorus repeats the message that they will continue to hold on. The bridge then opens up the raw emotion of the song, with the singer revealing that the scars of the relationship are still present, and that they've been broken by the experience. Despite this, they are still holding on.
Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of the pain of holding on to a relationship that is no longer there. It emphasizes the difficulty of letting go, and the emotional toll that it can take. Through its powerful lyrics and driving beat, "Holding On" is a moving tribute to the struggle to move on.
