Holdin' On
Skrillex ft Nero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broken footsteps on the floor
(I keep holdin' on!)
Pick myself up and carry on, cause somethings waiting for me,
And I wont let them write my song,
(I keep holdin' on!)
Keep my direction and soon I'll be turned to gold.
I'm king without a throne, a heart without a home
Just cards that I've been dealt in life
I'll walk it all alone, but my hope will never die
(But my hope will never die!)
But my hope will never die!
I keep holdin' on!

Here's my story:
December 25, 2013. I received an iPod Touch 4 for Christmas Eve and I was stoked to install a bunch of games on it. Back then, I really didn't have a clear favorite kind of music, I was a young kid with no view on life. But, as I installed one of the games on my iPod, I kept hearing this one song on it every single time that sounded so good and amazingly epic that I was like blown away. One time, I paused the game, and there it was, the name...I See MONSTAS - Holdin On (Skrillex & Nero Remix)
Fast forward a few years later, I am a DJ/Producer with 5 years of experience and working every single day for a dream of playing in the biggest crowd at Ultra Music.
I'll come back to this comment in a few years, whenever I make it. Wish me luck.

Broken footsteps on the floor,
Pick myself up and carry on, cause something's waiting for me,
And I will let them write my song,
Keep my direction and soon I'll be turned to gold.
I'm a king without a throne, a heart without a home,
Just cards that I've been dealt in life.
I walk the road alone, but my hope will never die
...
BUT MY HOPE WILL NEVER DIE
Drop Start
My hope will never die...
My hope will never die...
I keep holdin' on
Drop End
Broken footsteps on the floor,
Pick myself up and carry on, cause something's waiting for me,
And I will let them write my song,
Keep my direction and soon I'll be turned to gold.
I'm a king without a throne, a heart without a home,
Just cards that I've been dealt in life.
I walk the road alone, but my hope will never die
Drop Start
My hope will never die...
My hope will never die...
I keep holdin' on...

(I keep holdin' on)
Broken footsteps on the floor,
(I keep holdin' on)
Pick myself up and carry on, cause something's waiting for me,
And I will let them write my song,
(I keep holdin' on)
Keep my direction and soon I'll be turned to gold.
I'm a king without a throne, a heart without a home,
Just cards that I've been dealt in life.
I walk the road alone, but my hope will never die.
But my hope will never die.
Drop
Broken footsteps on the floor,
Pick myself up and carry on, cause something's waiting for me,
And I will let them write my song,
Keep my direction and soon I'll be turned to gold.
I'm a king without a throne, a heart without a home,
Just cards that I've been dealt in life.
I walk the road alone, but my hope will never die.
