Chord Overstreet – Hold On lyrics
[Verse 1]
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"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
A long endless highway, you're silent beside me
Drivin' a nightmare I can't escape from
Helplessly praying, the light isn't fadin'
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
I pull you in to feel your heartbeat
Can you hear me screaming, "please don't leave me"

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you

    I think that this has a deeper meaning them most might think. I feel like it’s about S*icide and s*lf harm, I think it’s about his loved one being depressed and she wants to die, but he won’t let her go. He wants to make her happy because he doesn’t think he could live without her. She cuts herself and cries every night trying to die, but he takes her to the hospital and makes sure she stays with him.
    This may not be correct, but it’s what I think. This song holds a special place in my heart for when I’m feeling low. And I listen to it when I feel like giving up. My life isn’t the best but this song helps me go through tough times.

    I believe this song is about the effects on others when someone you love commits suicide."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" Its saying she locked herself in the bedroom and he found her on the floor and he held her to him knowing she had committed suicide and called the hospital to try to save her hoping that there is some way she will still be there for him. "The joy and the chaos, the demons we're made of" I believe this line is talking about how she felt about herself saying her demons are taking over and she is too chaotic and dark- which is a feeling a lot of depressed people have. Often they mention their inner demons. Overall I believe this song is about the outside perspective after someone has committed suicide. Suicide usually has this kind of effect on others- whenever someone ends their life there are many people who just want them to stay with them and miss them- but they all know that they cant do anything they are just hoping that some way in heaven she/he is still alive and with them but internally they know that she/he is dead and its their fault which constantly drives them into depression themselves- causing a vicious cyle of Death and Heartbreak.

    well.....Its obviously about suicide if yall didnt know cuz like bruh its obvious loving and fighting accusing denying might have something to do with it like maybe they had several arguments and maybe she couldnt takeit so she went in the room and commited suicide. When he says can you hear me screaming please dont leave me it probably just means hes really sorry for maybe starting an argument or sorry about the argument it just shows his love for her and how he doesnt want her to leave him. When he starts singing the part where he says hold on i still want you hold on i still need you just means he doesnt want her to leave him at that moment in time. at the end he says he just wants to bring her home which specifies he really hopes she lives because i bet she wouldnt be that old and she has a whole life ahead of her. If this is based on a true story i really hope she was okay.

    I think it was about his girlfriend who was self harming and wanted to comit suicide. He then finds her in the bathroom and checks if she's still breathing. He takes her the the hospital to see if she's still alive we never find out if they actually made it but he was pleading for her to stay with him as he says he needs her.

    I think it's about Cory Monteith, 1 of his best friends who passed away in 2013 from an overdose sadly. I think he wrote the song for him because they were so close and I hope everyone who knew Cory is ok. But, anyways Cory and Chord were in the show Glee together and they even made a whole episode on him and Chord Overstreet lost a very good person in his life he was really close with and if I lost my best friends I don't know what I would do they mean the world to me.Also, 2 more Glee Cast members died. And I feel bad because when you start a show with people they are your family and they were like brothers from different parents. Cory was a good actor and it is sad to know he is gone but we will always remember him. Love you Naya, Mark, Cory always in our hearts.

    I think it’s about a girl who overdosed and she is dating him, and he walks in after work and sees that she’s laying on the floor having a seizure because of the pills and he’s checking her to see if she’s still breathing, than. she ends up being alive than has to go to the medical hospital and he wants her to come back home and is begging her to keep trying and that she still has lots of more life to live for than this.

    I was just scrolling through the meanings when I saw this:

    "IT NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT A GIRL WHERE DID YOU GUYS EVEN GET THIS FROM YOUR A** YOU GUYS ARE SO DUMB USE YOUR BRAIN AND THINK NOT JUST POST THINGS!!!!!!!!! MY BROTHER IS A NEWBORN AND IS SMATTER THAN YOU GUYS WHAT ARE YOUR PARENTS SUICIDAL AND DRUG ADDICTS SO YOU THINK EVERYONE ELSE IS?!"

    You're actually so fucking dumb. Look. "Saying baby, let's go home", and "I swear to love you all my life". I don't think the song is written with a homosexual narrator, so it's a female. Also why are you assuming the others' parents are drug addicts? Like wtf. The only retard here is you. You have horrible grammar and run-on sentences(4 lines and only 2 sentences? You have probably confused quite a couple of people with your frayed logic.). You also assume random stuff about people, and can't spell "smarter". Also your obnoxious use of capital letters just make me unable to take you seriously.

    You know what I think? I think you're some random 10 year old or so(at least in mental age) who's ranting and screaming at others either because you: 1. Had a bad day and now is venting, 2. Is super sensitive(I mean you're a big crybaby) who got offended at the lyrics, 3. Both choices. So yeah. Take a hint from your downvotes.
