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!!
