Holding On
These Kids Wear Crowns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
There's no one else surrounding me for days
If I find the time
You have to arrive
Cause X will mark the spot,
Where we can connect the dots
Cause I got 15 minutes to midnight
No we wont just throw the towel in
We give everything
You give everything
I'll keep holding on,
I'll keep holding on
You have found a way to keep me around,
When I'm looking for a reason to leave this town
But I'll keep holding on
I'll surf every wave
There's no one else surrounding me for days
And I like a good mind,
But I love a good time.
I can't be there every weekend
But I'll visit once a season
Cause I got 15 minutes to midnight
And These Kids we do this all night
No we wont just throw the towel in
We give everything
You give everything
I'll keep holding on,
I'll keep holding on
You have found a way to keep me around,
When I'm looking for a reason to leave this town
But I'll keep holding on
So say it's okay,
And I'll be away
I'll go way further,
It's not over
Cause I got 15 minutes to midnight
And These Kids we do this all night
No we wont just throw the towel in
We give everything
You give everything
I'll keep holding on,
I'll keep holding on
You have found a way to keep me around,
When I'm looking for a reason to leave this town
But I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
In "Holding On," These Kids Wear Crowns expresses an unwavering commitment to persevering through difficulties with someone they care about. The lyrics suggest the singer may be physically distant from his loved one, as he emphasizes his willingness to travel ("I can't be there every weekend/But I'll visit once a season") and his reliance on their communication ("X will mark the spot/Where we can connect the dots"). Despite challenges, the singer remains determined to stay by his loved one's side, as he repeats "I'll keep holding on" several times throughout the song.
The repetition of "15 minutes to midnight" throughout the song's chorus may evoke a sense of urgency or pressure, further emphasizing the singer's dedication to his relationship. The phrase "These Kids we do this all night" suggests the group's youthfulness and energy, framing their commitment as an all-night event rather than a passing whim.
Overall, "Holding On" is a song about commitment and perseverance in the face of distance and difficulty. Through its lyrics, These Kids Wear Crowns suggest that true dedication requires both a willingness to work hard and a deep emotional investment in the relationship.
