Hold Me Lyrics
This time. . .
Shall we walk?
Shall we run?
Through my head you understand
Does the body you conceal
Need the touch of someone's hand?
Ashes, violations
Who would they burn for?
In your isolation what can't you see?
(What did you see? What did you see?)
I wonder if the light's down
(What did you see? What did you see?)
I wonder if they're listening.
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me
Where your lover stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself.
You are lost and alone
And a prisoner of your pride
When the passions you ignore
You can never hide.
One of these days you're gonna find out
'Cause one of these days you're gonna try
And what did I say to make you wind up
With this fear of guilt inside.
(What have you done? What have you done?)
I wonder if the light's down
(What have you done? What have you done?)
I wonder if they're listening.
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me
Where your lover stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself.
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Hold me
Na na na na na na
Show me
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me
Where your lover stay
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me for yourself.
Shall we walk?
Shall we run?
Through my head you understand
Does the body you conceal
Need the touch of someone's hand?
Ashes, violations
Who would they burn for?
In your isolation what can't you see?
(What did you see? What did you see?)
I wonder if the light's down
(What did you see? What did you see?)
I wonder if they're listening.
Lay your shame away
Show me
Where your lover stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself.
And a prisoner of your pride
When the passions you ignore
You can never hide.
One of these days you're gonna find out
'Cause one of these days you're gonna try
And what did I say to make you wind up
With this fear of guilt inside.
(What have you done? What have you done?)
I wonder if the light's down
(What have you done? What have you done?)
I wonder if they're listening.
Lay your shame away
Show me
Where your lover stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself.
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Hold me
Na na na na na na
Show me
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me
Where your lover stay
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me for yourself.

I think this song is about communication. I think the members of Duran Duran are especially big on that now, they know what bottling things up and going with the flow can result in, from what I've heard them say. Simon has said the key to a good marriage is never letting anything get in between you, not letting things build up. As for this song, Simon has said this song is about "secrets". So I think it's about being honest with whomever you love.
This is one of my all-time favourite Duran tracks and I am really surprised this wasn't a single release. With its driving rock beat it would have been a lot more radio-friendly than Skin Trade which is a great album track but not really a single.
