Holding On Lyrics
I'm gonna keep on holding on
Times are changing, rearranging
All the raging over little things has got me all confused
And I don't why, but it seems I caught the big lie
And I'm letting go and reaching out for truth
So, I can't stop now, 'til I find out what it's all about, and somehow
Grab a hold, so no one can take it away
Chorus
I'll be, I'll be holding on
I see right where I belong
I know everything that's going on around me
Your frustrations, complications, time is wasting
You better figure out whether you're wasting time
It all comes down to I can't make you feel what I do
But I can feel for you, so, what do you got to lose?
Chorus
I'm gonna keep on holding on, while all of this is going on
I should've seen this all along, but now, I see right where I went wrong
That doesn't mean I can't be strong
So, now, I've got to carry on
It's hard to see that I was gone
I'll stay right here where I belong

I know someone is going to dispute this with me and say "oh every song has to be about a girl doesn't it?" but I don't care. I think this song is about a guy who has a girlfriend who he's madly in love with but she's very carefree and independent and doesn't know if she wants to be with him for the rest of her life. However, he knows without a doubt that he wants to be with her and just her and so he'll "be holding on" until she figures out that he's been there this entire time. Just my opinion.
You are right Lionheart7296 in the sense that i am going to dispute you. This song has nothing to do with a girl. Pillar is a Christian band, and i am a strong Christian so to me it is easier to see what i believe this song is about. It is about someone who was caught up in the lies/sins of this world
"And I don't why, but it seems I caught the big lie".
But this person realizes it and decides that they want to live life in God's eyes rather than in the world's eyes and start doing the right things.
"And I'm letting go and reaching out for truth"
the chorus then focuses on the person saying that they are on the right path and no one can pull them away from God
You're right Laceration. Pillar is Christian && it's about the truth being revealed. He won't go back to the lies anymore or be persuaded to change... After all the Christian life is a hard one.

&& As for the girl comment, it's funny... Everyone wants a song to be about a girl or relationship, but I think it shows just how much GOD is needed in everyone's life. They want love or feel pain for love, yet GOD is the only one that can show you true love. I hope LionHeart7296 your own eyes are opened, because this song...

"Your frustrations, complications, time is wasting You better figure out whether you're wasting time It all comes down to I can't make you feel what I do But I can feel for you, so, what do you got to lose?"
This is directed to Non-Christians to figure out whether or not they are wasting time in life by living the way they do && never achieving, but as much as the truth can be given to you, it's up to you to accept it... Which is why the last two lines talks about being unable to explain the beauty of a life with GOD but still hoping others will see come to one && praying for them.
Both could be right. If a band's Christian, it doesn't mean that every song is about being Christian.
