Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so stubborn, it's how I got here
So alone, feels like forever
Wanna swim away and breath the open air
But I feel so afraid, then I hear you say

Hang on when the water is rising
Hang on when the waves are crashing
Hang on, just don't ever let go

I'm so hungry, how can I stay here?
Starving for what I hold so dear
Like a hurricane it takes everything from me
Wake me from this dream

Hang on when the water is rising
Hang on when the waves are crashing
Hang on, just don't ever let go

Hang on when you are barely breathing
Hang on when your heart's still beating
Hang on, just don't ever let go

Three days, thirty years
So hopeless, doesn't matter
Don't say it's too late if you blink your eyes
The sun is rising, the sun is rising, oh

Hang on when the water is rising
Hang on when the waves are crashing
Hang on, just don't ever let go

Hang on when you're barely breathing




Hang on when your heart's still beating
Hang on, just don't ever let go

Overall Meaning

The song "Hang On" by Plumb is a powerful anthem that speaks to the struggle of holding on, even when everything around us is falling apart. The opening lyrics, "I'm so stubborn, it's how I got here, so alone, feels like forever," suggest that the singer has been through some difficult times and has arrived at a place of isolation and despair. The desire to "swim away and breathe the open air" reveals a longing for freedom and escape, yet the fear of the unknown is paralyzing. It is only when the singer hears the reassuring words "Hang on" that they are able to find the strength to keep going.


Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of perseverance in the face of adversity. Whether it is the rising water or the crashing waves, the message is clear: hang on and don't let go. The line "I'm so hungry, how can I stay here?" suggests that even when we feel like we have nothing left, there is still something worth holding on to. The hurricane metaphor is particularly powerful, symbolizing the destructive force that can tear our lives apart. In the midst of this chaos, the singer pleads to be awakened from the dream, to face reality and find a way to hold on.


The final verse offers a glimmer of hope, with the image of the sun rising. Even after three days, thirty years, or a lifetime of struggle, it is not too late to hang on. The closing refrain is a reminder to keep fighting, even when we are barely breathing or our hearts are still beating. The ultimate message of "Hang On" is one of resilience, urging us to never give up and always hold on.

Tears in my eyes right now because I remember right before Jesus came through when I needed Him in the past. I was listening to this, it was when I needed Him the most to work a miracle for me. I need Him now just like I needed Him then and I BELIEVE and KNOW He's about to come through for me AGAIN!!!!!!!!
