Hold Me Down
Will Omit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna be free as a bird

Wanna feel the sunlight in my face until it burns

And I wanna scream until it hurts

take a flight to somewhere and never return
I used to hold it back

I used to go back to the safe place in my silly little childhood room

I used to bully myself

I used to be so cruel

But now I know exactly what I need to do

Nobody can hold me down

Nobody can hold me down now

If you wanna, go ahead and try

But nobody can hold me down now

You can see me, how you want

But if you don't fit in my type well it's goodbye then I'm gone

Couse now I know, how it hurts

Yeah there's no shortcut to being happy that's for sure

Im gonna walk, 500 miles

If that's the only way for me to feel alive

Couse now I know, sometimes it hurts

But there's no shortcuts if you never wanna return

I used to limit Myself

I used to go back to the safe place in my silly little childhood room

I used to bully myself

I used to be so cruel

But now I know exactly what I need to do

Nobody can hold me down

Nobody can hold me down now

If you wanna, go ahead and try





But nobody can hold me down now
