about

i like to say that Hold On is the sequel to Why Try.
why try is more about acknowledging the existence of your emotions. meanwhile hold on is also about accepting them, whatever they may be. it’s about scratching beneath the surface and having the guts to deal with them.
i wrote hold on because it had always been extra hard for me to be vulnerable and understand/express my true feelings without over-rationalizing and analyzing them. then i realized that by being dishonest about them all i was doing was storing them until further notice. and how they choose to manifest will always come as a surprise to you.
so yeah... it’s basically about being honest and getting that shit out of your system before it becomes toxic and harder to get rid of.

lyrics

LYRICS:

How do I hold on so tight for so long
How is it always an inner battle to let go
How am I still struggling to move on
Sometimes I wish i had no reason to

Keeping yourselves in this space of yours
Where abide nothing but your thoughts
Cos your image never means less
Than what’s beneath that dress
Isn’t about romance
Desire to take a chance
You planted seeds
To which I agreed
Not gonna lie
Thought you wouldn’t succeed
But here I am now
Watering them daily

How do I hold on so tight for so long
How is it always an inner battle to let go
How am I still struggling to move on
Sometimes I wish i had no reason to

No reason to

Laying in my bed
I got no regrets
Yet still I feel like a mess
Turned it into a game of chess
The life we plan ahead
Your inner self
Wants to be heard
Grasp what’s to be released
How else would you get healed
From emotional illness
Break free from stillness
Bring me back to life
My soul has no pride
My mind, it’s time to step aside

How do I hold on so tight for so long
How is it always an inner battle to let go
How am I still struggling to move on
Sometimes I wish i had no reason to
