An Explanation Of Dierks Bentley's Song I Hold On

The first and second stanzas are a reflection of each other.The first verse expounds on how vital and truthful the mirror is; it does not deceive but shows things precisely the way they are, and it shows that it is trustworthy for

Stanza 4- When the poet is older he will tell this story of the choice he needed to make. He made the less popular choice, and took the road many others don’t take, and that changed his life.

The first stanza creates the sense of hopelessness, misery and confinement. The speaker seems to

In the final stanza, the speaker no longer denies the degraded partnership between them and their lover, and their thoughts

It is also another spiritual song sung by African Americans who were part of the slave community. The message that is being conveyed is very simple, it is telling a story of issues dealing directly with slavery and how they will no longer be a part of the slave life they use to live. Each stanza explains what they use to do and what they had to endure as a slaves. This gives an impression that they are finally free and living a life with more equality. You can imagine the song was sung with joy and happiness.

In the third stanza, the admiring tone continues, but it has an edge of envy. “In fine, we thought that he was everything To make us wish that we were in his

The true nature of the poem was cordial and relaxed, the sentiment was inspiring and it made me feel intimate and warm. This poem also gave me the strong feeling of passion as his use of poetic devices allowed me to see the point he was trying to make. The poem talks about him trying to keep their love in a picture so that the romance’s beauty will be a part of them forever. However, this song is not just about mending a relationship with your significant other, it can also be about reconstructing the relationship with your family. This is shown when he said "Loving can hurt" which could have been talking about to his mother since taking care of a child could be difficult but rewarding at the same time. Then the verse "keep this love in a photograph"

The first verse goes, “old man lying by the side of the road / with the lorries rolling by / blue moon sinking from the weight of the load / and the buildings scrape the sky / cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn / and the morning paper flies / dead man lying by the side of the road / with the daylight in his eyes.” Some lines from the second verse include, “blind man running through the light of the night / with an answer in his hand / come on down to the river of sight / and you can really understand.” And, of course, the chorus goes, “don’t let it bring you down / it’s only castles burning / find someone who’s turning / and you will come around.” In essence, no matter how desolate and desperate times may be, and no matter how many times the throne is overturned and families are torn apart, the redemptive characters in the show need to remember that there’s still

, and the verses. Out of all the inspiring verses in the song, I deem

It is a sin for anyone to destroy, in a blink of an eye, what they have been working on for months or even years. Therefore, one should always face the hardships with a strong will, hold their head up high when facing an upcoming storm, because that is the only way they can survive the war that is life. Right towards the end of the song, there is an extremely empowering line that says “this road never looked so lonely, this house doesn’t burn down slowly to ashes” which stands as a reminder that right when the challenge becomes harder, one should never forget what they are fighting for and simply give up. The amount of determination reflected in this line is the reason why I listen to this song whenever I feel defeated by the obstacles. It comes to spark the flame of determination in my heart when I consider backing

First off, we will discuss the beginning verse in the song, “End of passion play, crumbling away; I 'm your source of self-destruction; Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear; Leading on your deaths ' construction". This verse discusses a few subjects, all of which are not good. Looking further, a few keywords and phrases distinguish themselves and can be picked out. To some this is just clever wordplay but if you think about it there is meaning behind all of it.. Next we will discuss the universal and personal meaning of this verse.

  There come times, in the context of love and romance, when we must learn to let go. For some of us, as described in the song, we must let go of a past romantic relationship. Maybe the relationship was not meant to be: perhaps it was hurtful to us, or perhaps it was hindering the personal or spiritual growth of one or both partners. In this case, even when there may still be feelings of passion, or attraction, or just the comfort of the familiar, we must be strong in letting go of something that is

Behind every line that is spoken about you can see that there is a hidden meaning behind it. The way the author is so descriptive helps us have a visual of what is going on in this poem. In the end it is clear what the story is focused on. The love the family has for its dog is so enormous that they thought the act of caring would with any luck keep their dog hanging on for just a little bit longer.

Though the poem absolutely doesn't shy away from the problems of life, it has a beautiful inspirational feel. It gets a little dark when the poet describes his father's soul leaving behind the evils of the world. In the end, however, the poet also mention
