About Hold Me Down
Halsey explained the meaning and inspiration behind "Hold Me Down" at a live show in June of 2015: "I was meeting a bunch of mean, old men who thought they knew better than I. And I met this one guy in particular, a certain asshole who inspired this song. This song is a reminder that no matter how small you are or how small people may make you seem, you should never let anything hold you down." This song appears on Halsey's debut album Badlands, released as a pre-order single on June 2nd, 2015. .
Hold Me Down Lyrics
[00:14.53] My demons are begging me to open up my mouth
[00:20.86] I need them mechanically make the words come out
[00:27.55] They fight me, vigorous and angry, watch them pounce
[00:34.10] Ignite me, licking up the flames they bring about
[00:41.72] I sold my soul to a three-piece
[00:45.26] And he told me I was holy
[00:48.57] He's got me down on both knees
[00:51.85] But it's the devil that's tryna
[00:54.06] Hold me down, hold me down
[00:57.20] Sneaking out the back door,
[00:58.97] Make no sound
[01:00.53] Knock me out, knock me out
[01:03.70] Saying that I want more, this is what I live for
[01:07.17] Hold me down, hold me down
[01:10.45] Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown
[01:13.62] Knock me out, knock me out
[01:16.90] Saying that I want more, this is what I live for
[01:20.45] Selfish, taking what I want and call it mine
[01:26.51] I'm helpless, clinging to a little bit of spine
[01:33.27] They rush me, telling me I'm running out of time
[01:39.61] They shush me, walking me across a fragile line
[01:47.36] I sold my soul to a three-piece
[01:51.18] And he told me I was holy
[01:54.39] He's got me down on both knees
[01:57.57] But it's the devil that's tryna
[01:59.70] Hold me down, hold me down
[02:02.93] Sneaking out the back door,
[02:04.71] Make no sound
[02:06.31] Knock me out, knock me out
[02:09.58] Saying that I want more, this is what I live for
[02:12.90] Hold me down, hold me down
[02:16.15] Throw me in the deep end, watch me drown
[02:19.35] Knock me out, knock me out
[02:22.75] Saying that I want more, this is what I live for
[02:28.05] Hold me down now
[02:31.49] Hold me down now
[02:34.72] Hold me down
[02:40.22] I sold my soul to a three-piece
[02:43.74] And he told me I was holy
[02:46.98] He's got me down on both knees
[02:50.23] But it's the devil that's tryna
[02:52.40] Hold me down, hold me down
[02:55.52] Sneaking out the back door,
[02:57.33] Make no sound
[02:58.98] Knock me out, knock me out
[03:02.17] Saying that I want more, this is what I live for
[03:05.55] Hold me down, hold me down
