Holding On Lyrics
I thought the future held
a perfect place for us
That together we would learn to be
the best that we could be
In my naivity I ran
I fell and lost my way
Somehow I always end up falling over me
And one day
I woke to find
The future had no place
for me
I was unwanted in a world
that with my hands I helped build
Where once was honesty and pride
I now stand broken and alone
Just a shadow
of what I was ment to be
They say that "Time will heal"
"The truth shall set us free"
Well that depends
on what it is
that you choose to believe
In this prison made of lies
We see what it is we want to see
And find comfort in this
broken hall of dreams
Does anybody feel
the way I do?
Is there anybody out there?
Are you hearing me?
I believe in you
Will you believe in me?
Or am I alone
in this hall of dreams?
I believe in you
You believe in me
But I have no trust
in anything
Somehow I'm always
always falling over me
Somehow I'm always
I'm always falling over me
a perfect place for us
That together we would learn to be
the best that we could be
In my naivity I ran
I fell and lost my way
Somehow I always end up falling over me
I woke to find
The future had no place
for me
I was unwanted in a world
that with my hands I helped build
Where once was honesty and pride
I now stand broken and alone
Just a shadow
of what I was ment to be
"The truth shall set us free"
Well that depends
on what it is
that you choose to believe
In this prison made of lies
We see what it is we want to see
And find comfort in this
broken hall of dreams
the way I do?
Is there anybody out there?
Are you hearing me?
Will you believe in me?
Or am I alone
in this hall of dreams?
You believe in me
But I have no trust
in anything
Somehow I'm always
always falling over me
I'm always falling over me

This is the most amazing song I have ever heard. When I first heard it I cried. It is so intense and emotional. The chorus- the way he is crying out into the void - touches me in a way i have never experienced. I have listened to it hundreds of times and i will never stop loving it.
As a long-standing VNV fan, the new release did not disappoint; specifically with regards to this song. Roland has mastered the art of combining soundtrack-style strings and piano riffs with dark, brooding synthesizers. In the end, this song is another added to the archive of my favourite pieces... such a shame works of this quality are so few these days...
I agree with Curator and rynlee83 on this song. It made me cry. It is so wrought with emotional quality that you don't see in the box-it-n-ship-it music from most "artists" today. I love it. Hey Curator, his name is Ronan, not Roland, just FYI. Keep up the wonderful posts people, this is an awesome web site!
DOH! Thx for the reminder SunCrushr! I've been on the keys too much lately... if that's possible. :) Cheers.
this song is so sad :( I'm listing to it now......... It brings tears to my eyes!
Yup, it makes me cry too. The chorus... the second verse..
And one day I woke to find The future had no place for me I was unwanted in a world that with my hands I helped build Where once was honesty and pride I now stand broken and alone Just a shadow of what I was meant to be
Gets me every time. So does airships, but on a different level. Funny thing is... I heard the song many times, but I didnt truly listen to it until I bought Futureperfect
one word for this song,,, wow ! as funny as it sounds, when i first heard this song i was at the lowest point of my life, i will say this song probley saved my life.
This song has actually gave me hope in my time of need. When Ronan sings 'I believe in you. will you believe in me?' i didnt feel like i was alone in this world any longer. i felt like there was actually at least one other person who was going thro everything that i am. Ronan's lyrics have helped me so much through out the past couple of years...even saved my life multiple times, im sure. almost all of their songs just touch my heart and go along w/ my life in some way. their songs are so meaningful and deep.
Holding On reminds me of when I broke up with someone... it's like he's calling out to me when I hear this song. Bittersweet for me.
yeah, it's a bit of a tear-jerker for me too. Probably th emost powerful thing VNV have ever done. the first time "does anybody feel the way i do?" is sang....words do not describe! sensational stuff
