Hold on to What You Believe

Lyrics Analysis
Repetition of ‘I’ – personal journey.
                                 I
           I can't promise you that I won't let you down
                              And I

     I can't promise you that I will be the only one around
                  When your hope falls down
Pretty images, good/evil is                            Introduction of another –
man/nature.
                      But we’re young                  friend, family, lover?
    Open flowers in the windy fields of this war-torn world
                          And love Broken?
   Natural – trees, mountains, grass etc.
   This city breathes the plague of loving things more than
                         their creators
                                                  Problem between man and
                                                  nature – people as a mass,
                                                  unkind and ungrateful?
Something happened,
                            I ran away   disruption to equilibrium and
       I could not take the burden of both me and you
                                         happiness.
                         It was too fast
Implies former lover, running away from responsibility?
Casting love on me as if it were a spell I could not break
       When it was a promise I could not make

                      But what if I was wrong?
                      Oh, what if I was wrong?

                              Repetition of ‘what if?’ – Considerable doubt in
                              doing the right thing.
Accepting flaws and mistakes.
   But hold on to what you believe in the light
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight

 And oh, hold on to what you believe in the light
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight
                         It’s okay to make mistakes when
                         you don’t know which path to
                         take.
And now this land
Means less and less to me without you breathing through
                               its trees
Repeated mention of loss and sadness.


                            At every turn
 The water runs away from me and the halo disappears
               I'm not whole when you're not near and
Natural – trees, mountains,               Religion? Nature
grass etc.                           religion seem to go hand
                                     in hand – idea of being
                                     whole with these two
                                     things – implication of
                                     love.
Repeated doubt, one or more voices?

              So what if I was wrong?
              Oh, what if I was wrong?
              Oh, what if I was wrong?

   But hold on to what you believe in the light
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight
    Belief – one voice. Possibly a new one?
And oh, hold on to what you believed in the light
  When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight

         Hold on to what you believe, in the light.

Belief in own choices, even if they’re wrong. Making mistakes makes us who we ar
