This song's text is actually legit AF. Another example of Piedmontese though

A hand is not enough to get out of your shit

you have to react, you have to grab that rope

you have to tie it to a secure place

and then pull, pull, HOLD ON!

And if the rope slips, you can't grasp it

if you struggle each time and each time you end up farther

put your will into it, the one you had before

Give yourself a shake, you'll get on top



Life is game, and you gotta play, I believe

and who has won wins, and who has lost loses

It's a race to get first, it's a run in the meadows

and then who has lost loses , and who has gained gains.

But the people forgets that they are merely playing

and they get mad, they stumble,

they get wrapped and spin out

But remember, if you happen to play

that the rule to win is... never give up.



If you have hit your face so much that you lost hope

you don't have to cry and close yourself in a room

between four walls you cannot look far

you have to understand that fate is in your hands



And your destiny is YOU, only you for real

with your thoughts and with your decisions

Like when you were young and you wanted to play

until an idiot laughed at you



And you cried, you gave up, sat on your bed

but remember once you had a dream in the drawer

and that dream is still there, calling you, saying "Come!!!"

do it for you, for me... don't let go.



[/refrain] x

HOLD ON... you have to do like who does...

HOLD ON... don't let go...

HOLD ON... you have to do like who does...

HOLD ON...

[/Refrain]



It's not important if the others say you won

that thing only counts if you think it's true

If you don't think it's true, then it's worth nothing

you have to not mind what people say



Those people are always ready to give you advice

and they don't give a damn if it's true or false

In a world of thoughts what matters is you

and if you think by yourself, you already won.



In the end, if you win, they tell you "You're good!"

but there was no one helping you when you were scared

nobody suggesting a good word,

and now they're all shouting "Wow. Lucky!"



Lucky my ass! You have been strong

You did it by yourself, and you didn't even die

They greet you and say "Hi! Hey, wassup'?"

But they revere somebody who never gave up



[Refrain] + Yeah, yeah, never give up, NO!

[Refrain]



You put on a mask hoping they won't recognize you

but that mask is on the outside, not the inside

You can hide from the world, but not from yourself

'cause you know yourself, you can see you,

you know that one is you.



And you stay there... and you stay there

and you don't move... and you don't move

With a face on the inside and one on the outside

with so much desire to change road and give up

But you know... what you have to do

you know what you have to do (repeat)



HOLD ON... HOLD ON... HOLD ON...

You have to do like who does... HOLD ON...

HOLD ON...



The songs end and only messages are left

and to forget this one, you'd gotta be an archmage

For you who are young, and wants to stay in this world

and you had the patience to listen to the end

You have listened to these words, that are almost over

but something must remain stuck in your ears

We want to make sure you feel secure

Whatever happens...



HOLD ON!!
