Hold On Never Leave (feat. Martin Garrix)

In 'Hold On Never Leave,' Avicii, featuring Martin Garrix, delves into the profound impact of friendship and the resilience it can inspire. The song begins with a sense of despair and loss, as the narrator reflects on a time when they felt utterly defeated and alone. The lyrics, 'I thought my heart was gone / After I lost it all,' set a somber tone, highlighting the depth of the narrator's emotional struggle. Despite this, the narrator chooses to remain proud, even as they hit rock bottom, showcasing a glimmer of hope and determination.

The turning point in the song comes with the introduction of a supportive friend who helps the narrator regain their footing. This friend offers wisdom, reminding the narrator that while romantic relationships may come and go, true friendship endures. The lines, 'You said that lovers come and may go / You said that time will pass / But I'll stay your friend,' emphasize the steadfast nature of this bond. The friend’s unwavering support helps the narrator realize that they are not alone, and that friendship holds a value far greater than material wealth.

As the song progresses, the narrator reflects on their past and the people who were absent when they needed them most. This reflection underscores the importance of having reliable friends who stand by you through thick and thin. The repeated refrain, 'Hold on never leave,' serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring strength of true friendship. Ultimately, 'Hold On Never Leave' is a heartfelt tribute to the friends who lift us up when we are down and the irreplaceable role they play in our lives.
