Description
Sometimes everything collapses not with a bang, but quietly - as if someone had turned off the sound of life. You seem to be breathing, moving, saying the right words, but inside there is nothing but white noise. And then a hand reached out at the right moment can be more important than all the motivational quotes in the world.
In this song, fatigue and hope seem to meet, holding hands so as not to drift apart. It sounds like a request - don't leave, even if it's dark and scary, even if everything is wrong. Or maybe it's like an oath - to hold on as long as something is holding you. A simple melody, a little light, a little pain - and somewhere in between is that moment when you can still choose to be strong.
Lyrics and translation
Original
There was a time when I had to fight and I couldn't make it through one more night.
When I'm losing my mind and can't find the light, then you take my hand and make it all right.
If we have the choice to block out the noise.
Will you be strong and keep holding on?
If this was your last breath, would you waste it on me?
Stick around when I'm in the dark.
Be the angel that comes down and picks up my heart.
When it's all wrong, can we be strong and keep holding on?
And keep holding on.
It's been a while since I could've felt anything other than this kind of hell.
But you and your halo and everything lets go that's been pulling me down this low.
So will you be strong and keep holding on?
If this was your last breath, would you waste it on me?
Stick around when I'm in the dark.
Be the angel that comes down and picks up my heart.
When it's all wrong, can we be strong and keep holding on?
Holding on, holding on, holding on.
Holding on, I'm holding on, we're holding on.
So will you be strong and keep holding on?
If this was your last breath, would you waste it on me?
Stick around when I'm in the dark.
Be the angel that comes down and picks up my heart.
When it's all wrong, can we be strong and keep holding on?
And keep holding on.
And keep holding on.
