Hold My Breath
Wolfram feat. Holy Ghost! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I look around at all my friends
And I think of what I said to them
And I guess for once I can't pretend
So I hold my breath

What a perfect chance to start again
Through the TV set, we don't need it
And I guess for once I can't pretend
So I hold my breath, whoa oh oh oh

When I look around and I am not at home
From the TV set, you're not alone
And I guess for once I got no regrets
So I hold my breath

Stop looking out for someone else
When you are inside there is no reason
And I guess for once I can't pretend
So I hold my breath, so I hold my breath

Take some money from the joint account
I know, I know I know I am running out but
I found a woman in a photograph
Good guess, good guess, good guess so
I hold my breath

Take some money from the joint account
I know, I know I know I am running out but
I found a woman in a photograph
Good guess, good guess, good guess so
I hold my breath

Take some money from the joint account
I know, I know I know I am running out but
I found a woman in a photograph
Good guess, good guess, good guess so
I hold my breath

Take some money from the joint account
I know, I know I know I am running out but
I found a woman in a photograph
Good guess, good guess, good guess so
I hold my breath

Take some money from the joint account
I know, I know I know I am running out but




I found a woman in a photograph
Good guess, good guess, good guess so I

Overall Meaning

Hold My Breath by Wolfram feat. Holy Ghost! is a song about self-reflection and starting anew. The lyrics suggest a desire to leave behind old habits and relationships and to start with a fresh perspective. The lines "When I look around at all my friends/And I think of what I said to them/And I guess for once I can't pretend/So I hold my breath" suggest a realization of past mistakes and a willingness to face them head-on. The line "Stop looking out for someone else/When you are inside there is no reason" can be interpreted as a call for self-care and self-exploration. The repeated line "Take some money from the joint account" can symbolize a willingness to take risks and pursue one's desires, even if it means going against societal norms or expectations.


Line by Line Meaning

When I look around at all my friends
As I observe those around me whom I consider to be my allies


And I think of what I said to them
And I recollect the words that I have spoken to them


And I guess for once I can't pretend
And I acknowledge that I cannot feign or deceive any longer


So I hold my breath
Thus, I must brace myself for what's to come and hold onto my composure


What a perfect chance to start again
What an excellent opportunity to begin anew


Through the TV set, we don't need it
We don't require the images that are broadcasted through the TV set


And I guess for once I can't pretend
And once again, I admit that I cannot put on a facade


So I hold my breath, whoa oh oh oh
Therefore, I dwell in anticipation and hold onto my breath


When I look around and I am not at home
When I take note of how different things are when I am not in my abode


From the TV set, you're not alone
I remind myself that I am not alone and the TV set serves as a source of companionship


And I guess for once I got no regrets
And just once, I have no feelings of remorse


So I hold my breath
Therefore, I still must hold on tight and endure


Stop looking out for someone else
Cease looking for assistance elsewhere


When you are inside there is no reason
As long as I am within myself, there is no need to find a rationale externally


And I guess for once I can't pretend
And I am finally coming to terms with the fact that I cannot fabricate or deceive


So I hold my breath, so I hold my breath
Therefore, I must hold onto my breath that much longer


Take some money from the joint account
Withdraw some money from our shared account


I know, I know I know I am running out but
I am aware that I am depleting my monetary resources


I found a woman in a photograph
I discovered a female individual in a picture


Good guess, good guess, good guess so
I am correct in my presumption or estimation


I hold my breath
I must hold my breath as I deal with these consequences
