Hold On Lyrics and Analysis

Lyrics

I sing now, for all of you
With no one to hold on to
For all the broken hearts out there,
Waiting for someone to be near.
Hold on, (this is so du-umb), hold on

To my people listen up
When I miss somebody
When she need somebody
When she had somebody
Somebody to somebody
That made you feel like somebody

That somebody is calling
You need somebody
Heartbroken I've been indeed
…??

Whenever I miss that someone
I try not to think hard 'cuz then the tears come
And the tears run down your cheek
You can't speak bubububut sudden' sudden' the pain increase.
'Cuz youre messed up, fed up, stressed up,
'cuz they're up and you're down and messed up

Yeah what, don't cry my dear
I swear I'm near, I care.
I'm here, right here.
…??
Your love is here, right here

I sing now, for all of you
With no one to hold on to
For all the broken hearts out there (for all you broken hearts out there)
Waiting for someone to be near

To my people listen up
When I miss somebody
When she need somebody
When she had somebody
Somebody to somebody
That made you feel like somebody
That somebody is calling
You need somebody

Sixteen and my knees hasn't gone wild
My good friend homie Big Phil had to die
I had to fill a room that was full before
First time someone close to me was gone
I need a lover and I feel like I need it and yes I....?
I need it straight to put me thru.

So I had to (hold on) to my emotions
and remember my dues
Now twenty-two, got a romance, so I made some I have some I lost some friends
At the end I got to (hold on) to the ones that you know...?? back to the e-e-end

I sing now, for all of you (just listen up out there)
With no one to hold on to (don't feel like you are alone out there)
For all the broken hearts out there, (I'm Here)
Waiting for someone to be near.

To my people listen up, when I miss somebody (hold on) so du-umb
To my people listen up, when I miss somebody (hold on) so uh-uh
To my people listen up, when I miss somebody (hold on) so uh-uh
Miss somebody (hold on) So uh-yeah

Sometimes I gotta, sometimes you gotta, sometimes she gotta (hold on)
Sometimes they gotta, sometimes we gotta, sometimes I gotta (hold on)
Sometimes you gotta, sometimes she gotta, sometimes they gotta (hold on)

I sing now, for all of you
With no one to hold on to (sounds of the beautiful)
For all the broken hearts out there (Neverstore.. the one and only)
Waiting for someone to be near

I sing now, for all of you
With no one to hold on to
For all the broken hearts out there,
Waiting for someone to be near (sh-sh-yeah)
Hold on (this is so dumb)

Analysis

The lyrics are very easy to understand and have a deep and emotional message about not giving up when things get hard and to "Hold On" through the pain. This is good because it allows us to give our music video a kind of story relating to the lyrics, not present in the actual video.

  1. More detailed analysis of lyrics needed. Focus on key lines, and the visuals that you imagined would accompany each 'scene'.
