Hold On
Used to tell me to wait for a short time: Hold on, I'll check in my diary. Used to say that you are confused or surprised by something that you have just read and want to understand it: Hold on ...
… to make yourself continue to do what you are doing or stay where you are although it is difficult or unpleasant. If I can just hold on you'll come and get some help! If you can just hold on I'll go and get some help! The result will always be the same, LOVE! Hold on to me tight! Hold on tight and don't let go, LOVE!
… ´Cause, baby, we´re going Techno …
Mmm...
If I could walk alone on water
Oh, I would
If I could set the moon on fire
Watch me shoot
But keepin' up appearances
Is the first thing taught in school
You think I got my life all sorted?
You're a fool
I'm not easy to be around
But it's not easy to live without
A warm embrace
Familiar face
A safer place
Hold on, hold on
We don't have to walk on water
Hold on, hold on
Our love is simple, but that's enough
Can't you see, I am here?
Hold my hands and keep me, dear
Hold on, hold on
Love is simple, but that's enough
Oh-woah, oo-oo, oo-oo
Oh-woah, oo-oo, oo-oo
Behind this simple smile
Is a complicated story
And we both know, baby
The truth is never pretty
But I'm scared as hell
You won't like what you see
Are you sure, are you ready
For the real me?
I'm not easy to be around
But it's not easy to live without
A warm embrace
Familiar face
Saved by grace
Oh-woah, oo-oo, oo-oo
Oh-woah, oo-oo, oo-oo
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
If I could walk alone on water
Oh, I would
If I could set the moon on fire
Watch me shoot
But keepin' up appearances
Is the first thing taught in school
You think I got my life all sorted?
You're a fool
I'm not easy to be around
But it's not easy to live without
A warm embrace
Familiar face
A safer place
Hold on
… And now back to our perfect slow …
´Cause when we leave this planet, LOVE will still be holding forth on
Us radiant as ONE wherever we go.
Hold on
You are still strong
Love will soon come
Just hold, hold on
Oh, what have I done yet again?
Have I not learned anything?
I don't want to live in chaos
It's like a ride that I want to get off
It's hard to hold onto who I am
When I'm stumbling in the dark for a hand
I am so tired of battling with myself
With no chance to win
Hold on
Let time be patient
You are still strong
Let pain be gracious
Love will soon come
Just hold, hold on
I swear to God, I am such a mess
The harder that I try, I regress
I'm my own worst enemy
Right now I truly hate being me
Every day feels like the road I'm on
Might just open up and swallow me whole
How do I feel so mighty small
When I'm struggling to feel at all?
Just hold on
Let time be patient (you)
You are still strong
Let pain be gracious
(Love will soon come)
Just hold (you, just hold on, you, just hold on)
Hold on (you, just hold on, just hold on)
Sometimes loneliness is the only rest we get
(Just hold on, just hold on)
And the emptiness actually lets us forget
(Just hold on, just hold on)
Sometimes forgiveness is easiest in secret
(Just hold on, just hold on, just hold on, just hold on)
So just hold on, ooh-ooh
Let time be patient
(You are still strong)
Let pain be gracious
Love will soon come, baby
If you just hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on (hold on)
Just let time be patient (you)
'Cause you're still strong
You're still strong (are still strong)
Just be gracious
Love will soon come
If you just hold on, mm
(You, just hold on, you, just just hold on, you, just hold on)
Just be patient, just be patient (you, just hold on)
You, just hold on, you, just hold on (you are still strong)
You, just hold on
Just hold on, just hold on
… To end up Paradised in our favorite tempo …
Loving and fighting, accusing, denying
I can't imagine a world with you gone
The joy and the chaos, the demons we're made of
I'd be so lost if you left me alone
You locked yourself in the bathroom
Lying on the floor when I break through
I pull you in to feel your heartbeat
Can you hear me screaming? Please don't leave me
Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Let me take your hand, I'll make it right
I swear to love you all my life
Hold on, I still need you
Long endless highway, you're silent beside me
Driving a nightmare I can't escape from
Helplessly praying, the light isn't fading
Hiding the shock and the chill in my bones
They took you away on a table
I pace back and forth as you lay still
They pull you in to feel your heartbeat
Can you hear me screaming? Please don't leave me
Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Let me take your hand, I'll make it right
I swear to love you all my life
Hold on, I still need you
I don't wanna let go
I know I'm not that strong
I just wanna hear you
Saying, "Baby, let's go home"
Let's go home
Yeah, I just wanna take you home
Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you
Thinking of you, painting endless feeling collages of the expressions of your face and heart, I sit down by my hissing gas fire—one of the radiants is missing. It´s been raining all day, but, despite my semi-sadness, my semi-happiness shows in my face, which is colorfully rare, depicted. Like the groom secretly watching the bride looking truly radiant on their wedding day …
Radiance means brightness or light, and even if we don't necessarily realize it, we are all constantly seeking ways to add light to our lives. Living a radiant life can mean many things, but most of all it means taking time to take proper care of ourselves, of our hurting souls, reaching out to the other half for priceless support, writing it to know if it´s at least okay … the tradition is said to bring good luck to the bride and groom. It´s not Sunday, but we can also be Wild Horses running free and yet happy in tandem like those beautiful horses in Iceland In Bloom …

THANK YOU!
First time I read, I read the songs as a poems without listening and think about the words I am drawn to and relate to. Second time I listen to the songs. I thought of a disco ball after seeing a Donna Summer album in my father's record collection and planned to incorporate it into a future post. When I came back to listen/watch, it was already there in Armin Van Buuren ft Davina Michelle!!
