Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Holding On and Letting Go” by Ross Copperman
“Holding On and Letting Go” is a song about the internal struggle of deciding whether or not to stay in a relationship despite the pain that it can cause. The singer reflects on how his feelings for the other person are so strong, and yet he can’t deny the hurt that is lingers in his heart. He talks of how “holding on” is so hard, and how “letting go” will inevitably result in sorrow. The singer realizes that no matter what he does, it will not be easy; either he will have to face the pain of parting, or he will remain in a relationship that is perpetuating his agony. However, he reminds himself that “love is the answer” and that in the end, it will be worth it if it is true. Ultimately, “Holding On and Letting Go” is a powerful reminder of the complexities of love, and how ultimately, it is a gamble of our hearts to know what will come.
