6/15/2023 0 Comments Hold the line lyricsThis is the first song that Toto ever released. It came out, via Columbia Records, on 15 October 1978. And it is featured on their first album, which is also entitled “Toto”. So let’s just say that at the end of the day, despite “Hold the Line” being a hit, to some degree appreciating the lyrics require the listener to apply his or her own understanding to them. For if there’s one definitive sentiment being relayed throughout, it’s that the singer appreciates his lover. However, the chorus itself is quite vague and can even make a listener to conclude that somewhat of an opposite sentiment is also being relayed. So then the issue that arises is trying to ascertain the exact meaning of the phrase “love isn’t always on time”, as featured in the chorus. This statement would read as if perhaps the singer wants to take a break from the relationship. But again, there is no indication in the verses that he wants to break up with his lady – indeed quite the opposite. Or if you really want to search for some type of logical connection, it would be him saying that despite how good she treats him, he still wants to break up or put their romance on “hold” while he figures things out.īut it would be pretty difficult for someone who acknowledges that their significant other’s love ‘set them free’ to then turn around and dump the person unless, as David Paich implied, such an individual is akin to a womanizer. That having been said, he is basically complimenting his girlfriend throughout. For instance, he states that she is cool with his homeys. And the second verse even reads like they broke up at one point, yet she ‘came back to him’. He later goes as far as stating that ‘her love set him free’, which is perhaps the ultimate compliment one can give to a romantic partner.

Who’s gon have your back and hold it down when no one is around Living in a paradox we all must grip and hold on I had to bury all my demons like the mortuary I’ll admit it, I’ll admit it, it was kind of scary There’s no need for introductions or greetings it’s old news My heart is bleeding from the pain that I put my own self through It makes a difference when you started from the bottom and just barely hit the ceiling Had to sacrifice my nights to get up on ahead I’ve been waiting for this day to play thisīeen making some changes had to get it all aligned Obstacles hang in the way of the prize together we all going to rise
