Someone to Hold on To
The Choir Lyrics

Great guns, flesh borders
There is a sense of constant danger as conditions in the world are unstable

No time to sing "God bless"
There is no time for trivialities in these challenging times

High church disorder
Even traditional institutions such as the church are in chaos

Tall dark evangelist
There are charismatic figures out there who are offering hope and direction

Red brick, loose mortar
The foundation is uncertain, and things are not built to last

Here in Los Angeles
This is not just a local problem, but a global one

Woke up one morning
The suddenness of this realization has shaken the singer

Shakin' so hard
The artist is physically and emotionally affected by what is happening around them

I need someone to hold on to
The artist is acknowledging their vulnerability and need for support and guidance

Someone higher than the stars
The artist is seeking a source of strength and wisdom that transcends the limits of human understanding

I need someone to hide under
The singer is looking for protection from the dangers and uncertainties of life

Should the sky fall on my car
The artist is using a vivid image to indicate their fear of catastrophic events

One last crescendo
There is a sense of urgency and finality in the current situation

The band won't play all night
This is not a temporary problem that can be easily ignored or dismissed

Look out your window
This is a global phenomenon that affects us all

Here comes the fire light
A metaphor for the destructive power of uncontrolled events

Tonight, tomorrow
The danger is imminent and ongoing

I say we hold on tight
The singer is urging action and solidarity in the face of danger

Some sing "It's Alright"
Some people are clinging to a false sense of security or optimism

In temples and bars
People are seeking guidance and comfort in a variety of places

Still chained, the free man
There is a sense of oppression and injustice despite the appearance of freedom

Who sore the slave was dead
The artist is referencing the biblical story of Lazarus to suggest that there is hope for a miraculous transformation

Don't run to me then
The singer is warning against seeking help or comfort from those who have not faced the same challenges

The frightened fool you've wed
The artist is critical of those who have settled for a false sense of security or comfort

Can't find the tree stand?
The singer is suggesting that the search for meaning and guidance may be difficult or elusive

No, not the spider shed!
The singer is rejecting false or dangerous sources of guidance and comfort

Forget the foothills
The singer is urging us to focus on the greater challenges at hand instead of minor obstacles

You won't get far
The artist is suggesting that without a source of strength and guidance, progress will be difficult or impossible

You need someone to hold on to
The artist is addressing the listener and suggesting that we all need help and support during difficult times

Someone higher than the stars
The singer is suggesting that we need a source of strength and guidance that transcends human ability

You need someone to drive under
The singer is again emphasizing the need for protection from the dangers and uncertainties of life

So the sky won't crush your car
The artist is using a vivid image to convey the sense of impending danger and the need for protection

Someone higher than the moon
The artist is reiterating the need for a source of strength and guidance that transcends human ability

'Cause the sky is falling soon
The artist is using an apocalyptic image to suggest the imminent danger that we all face
