Holding On
The Satellite Station Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sit down Son, I know that you're probably too young
Your world is still only as big as your homes back yard
But time goes fast, it catches you when you look back
You won't believe all the people, they come and they go
As I watched you come alive, part of me died
And I held you through the night, I watched you cry
I am holding on
I'm still holding on
So make the most
Take pictures of all of those ghosts
And don't be afraid to go down a road you don't know
As you grow
I'll show you all that I know
But one day will come when you're gonna have to stand on your own
As I watched you come alive
Part of me died
And I held you through the night
I watched you cry
I am holding on
I'm still holding on
Sit down Son
When I look back at all that I've done
There's not a day I would change cause it led me to now
So I wrote this down
Though I haven't quite figured it out
But I won't be the same person next year
As I am right now
As I watched you come alive
part of me died
And I held you through the night
I watched you cry




I am holding on
I'm still holding on

Overall Meaning

In The Satellite Station's song Holding On, the lyrics talk about the passage of time and the inevitability of change. The song's narrator addresses a younger person, likely their son, and acknowledges that they are still young and their world is small, but soon they will grow up and the world will get bigger. The singer warns that time goes by quickly and people come and go, but through it all, they are holding on. The chorus repeats the line "I am holding on, I'm still holding on" which reinforces the theme of change and the need to adapt and hold onto what is important.


The second verse of the song is focused on the future, with the singer encouraging the younger person to make the most of their life, take pictures of memories, and not be afraid to go down a road they don't know.

Lyrics:
Sit down Son
I know that you're probably too young
Your world is still only as big as your home's backyard

But time goes fast
It catches you when you look back
You won't believe all the people
that will came and go

As I watched you come alive
part of me died
And I held you through the night
I watched you cry
I am holding on
I'm still holding on

So make the most
take pictures of all of those ghosts
and don't be afraid to go down a road you don't know

As you grow
I'll show you all that I know
But one day will come when
You're gonna have to stand on your own

As I watched you come alive
part of me died
And I held you through the night
I watched you cry
I am holding on
I'm still holding on

Sit down Son
When I look back at all that I've done
There's not a day I would change
cause it led me to now

So I wrote this down
Though I haven't quite figured it out
But I won't be the same person next year
As I am right now

As I watched you come alive
part of me died
And I held you through the night
I watched you cry
I am holding on
I'm still holding on

I'm still holding on......
