    LYRICS:
    Reach inside and hold you close
    I won't leave you on your own
    Teach me the words I used to know
    Yea I forgot them long ago
    So hold that girl
    Hold the girl
    Hold the girl
    Hold the girl
    Sometimes I get down with guilt
    For the promises I've broken to my younger self
    Moving on, maybe I'll never will
    Cos I left u spinning on the carousel
    Been living without you
    Been living without you
    Reach inside and hold you close
    I won't leave her on your own
    Teach me the words I used to know
    Yea I forgot them long ago
    I wanna remember
    She is me and I am her
    So hold that girl
    So hold that girl
    Sometimes I just want to run away
    Leave behind that old me, start again
    Then I remember who I’m really made of
    And she’s been hide and seeking, waiting all along
    Close to your heart
    Never ever let you go (never let you go)
    They’ll tell you to sit up and shut up and grow up
    What the hell do they know?
    Cos the girl in your soul’s seen it all
    And you owe her the world
    So hold the girl
    Hold the girl

    so many themes of freedom and independence are in this video that I love. Rina said she wrote this after a therapy session and was just crying. We often put a lot on ourselves due to whatever we go through but this video showcases that the only one holding you back is truly yourself and to fully move forward is embracing your inner self and working through those imperfections/struggles. Rina always highlights the big picture and this album is nothing short of excellence to the highest degree. She’s a genius

    The night this audio came out my parents had an enormous fight. I have a 6 year old sister, and so I took her away from the shouting and made noise and played with her and helped her to sleep. When I heard the song I cried so much because I remembered being her age and being all alone, and I had been holding and protecting my sister in a way that no one held me. So the title/refrain has a double meaning, holding my younger self in my head as my current self, and holding my sister in her stead, taking care of her in all the ways I can, because I didn't have anyone to take care of me but she does.

      @@Starkardur yes. Gaga is a classically trained NYU undergrad child piano prodigy with a mastery of various historical musical genres and a very strong instinct for monstrously catchy hooks. She is a powerful vocalist and great dancer in platform heels. She's been performing live since she was 15, and is more at home on stage than I presume her childhood room. She nearly danced thru an injured hip live in concert. She was THE pop star of the 2008-13 pop boom
      ... oh wait were u talking about lyrical content?
      lol.
      "ra ra ra ah ah ga ga ooh la la" is the best u can hope for
      Even when she's trying to be deep and meaningful, her turns of phrase usually fly as well as a goat, more often than not very blunt and obvious. Look at born this way, for example. Angel down is serious Gaga done right but it's the only example I can think of that I'd say is really good

    This video felt like an allegory for being trapped somewhere (a broken household, a secluded place away from life, having so much emotional baggage that you can't leave even though you know what's bringing you down), and finally breaking free. It gives big western thriller movie references, and as a person stuck in the midwest, it's super close to home. Please keep doing the unexpected with your videos, and music, you are insanely talented.

    The clothes signify to me how everything where she grew up on felt so retrograde and dated like when you grow up in a household with dated beliefs and you just want to runaway cause you know there might not be much of you left if you stay for long...or at least that's what it feels like. That's the only problem I see when you know who you are at a very young age. Thank you Rina for creating this masterpiece.

    This MV (especially the shot in which Sawayama falls from the roof) reminds me of Bartha Mason in Charlott Bronte's novel Jane Eyre. It makes a sense when we consider that Rina Sawayama is herself an immigrants. The song is (in my interpretation) about how to deal with one's ethnic identity. I'm pretty sure that this song is so rich that it must yield many different interpretations.

    Lyrics:
    Reach inside and hold you close
    I won't leave you on your own
    Teach me the words I used to know
    Yeah, I forgot 'em Iong ago
    So hold the girl
    Hold the girl
    Hold the girl
    Hold the girl
    Hold that girl
    Hold that girl
    Hold that girl
    Sometimes, I get down with guilt
    For the promises I've broken to my younger self
    Moving on, maybe l never will
    'Cause I left you spinning on the carousel
    Been living without you
    Been living without you
    Reach inside and hold you close
    I won't leave you on your own
    Teach me the words I used to know
    Yeah, l forgot 'em long ago
    I wanna remember
    She is me and I am her
    So hold the girl
    Hold the girl
    Hold that girl
    Hold that girl
    Hold that girl
    Sometimes, I just wanna run away (run away)
    Leave behind that old me, start again (start again)
    Then I remember who l'm really made of (who I'm made of)
    And she's been hide-and-seeking, waiting all along
    Been living without you
    Been living without you, oh
    Reach inside and hold you close
    I won't leave you on your own
    Teach me the words I used to know
    Yeah, l forgot 'em long ago
    I wanna remember
    She is me and I am her
    So hold the girl
    Hold the girl
    Close to your heart
    Never, ever let you go (never let you go)
    They'll tell you to sit up and shut up and grow up
    What the hell do they know?
    'Cause the girl in your soul's seen it all
    And you owe her the world
    So hold the girl
    Hold the girl
    Reach inside and hold you close
    I won't leave you on your own
    Teach me the words I used to know
    Yeah, l forgot about 'em so long ago
    Reach inside and hold you close
    I won't leave you on your own
    Teach me the words I used to know
    Yeah, l forgot 'em long ago
    I wanna remember
    She is me and I am her
    So hold the girl
    Hold the girl
