about

Hold Fast is a track about the war waging inside you, that everyone goes through. Do you be yourself or do you change to fit in with people. It's about realising you don't have to change who you are and that you have every right to be yourself and to hold on to what you believe.
- Steph

lyrics

Verse

I lost myself amidst the fault lines.
Fell in with a crowd who always stepped out of time.
The ground it shook the skeleton in me,
lost my nerve without cavalry.

When it came to war,
It was all in the name of glory.
But we all know,
It was me who never did time.

Pre-Chorus

I saw the clock tick and ran for my life.

Chorus
But one day I'll hold true to my name,
Pick up the pieces and take all the blame.
Here's to hoping you never find out,
How much of a mess I was when I struck out.

Verse

It's taken awhile for me to believe,
there's time and a place for things to work simultaneously.
Right now I'm happy,
happier then I've ever been before.
Coz life's planning out,
how I imagined it be.
But we still know,
it's me who never did time.

Pre-Chorus

The clock kept on ticking as I ran for my life.

Chorus x2:

But one day I'll hold true to my name,
Pick up the pieces and take all the blame.
Here's to hoping you never find out,
How much a mess I was when I struck out.

Outro

Let me hold onto what I believe, Let me hold on.
HOLDFAST
Let me hold onto what I believe, let me hold on.
HOLDFAST
