T.O.T.O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not in the way you say you care
It's not in the way you've been treating my friends
It's not in the way that you stayed till the end
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
It's not in the words that you told me, girl
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn't always on time (Love isn't always on time)
Hold the line, love isn't always on time (love isn't always, love isn't always on time)
Hold the line, love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
The lyrics of Toto's song "Hold the Line" convey a message about love's unpredictability that is not based on actions or words, but rather on holding firm to the relationship itself. It's not in the way that the significant other holds, speaks or acts. What's important is to stick to each other and endure the challenges and not give up on the relationship no matter how bumpy the ride may be. The chorus emphasizes the phrase "hold the line" to signify the importance of consistency and the need to withstand and not let the tests of time and love defeat a couple.
The song's verses emphasize the idea that actions speak louder than words when it comes to a relationship because it's not always about what the other person verbalizes. Sometimes, love may not be timed correctly, and partners will have to wait their turn to express their love and have it reciprocated. However, if they have faith in themselves and their connection, they will succeed.
Overall, "Hold the Line" is an anthem that speaks to the audience that sometimes, love is hard, but it's worth holding on to, even if it doesn't always turn up on time.
