Holding On To Hell

Gin Wigmore's 'Holding On To Hell' delves into the complexities and emotional turbulence of a strained relationship. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that is both consuming and destructive. Wigmore's raw and emotive delivery underscores the pain and confusion that come with holding onto a relationship that feels more like a personal hell than a sanctuary. The repeated imagery of broken hearts and burning bodies suggests a deep sense of loss and longing, as well as the physical and emotional toll that such a relationship can take.

The chorus, with its haunting refrain of 'something in the way that you move,' hints at an irresistible yet damaging attraction. This line suggests that despite the pain, there is an undeniable pull between the two individuals, making it difficult to let go. The use of the word 'crazy' further emphasizes the chaotic nature of their connection, where love and pain are intertwined. The metaphor of 'rolling in hell' and 'holding on to hell' vividly captures the sense of being trapped in a cycle of suffering, unable to break free.

Wigmore's lyrics also touch on themes of healing and the desire for genuine love. The lines 'Heal, I’ll heal your broken parts' and 'I want you to love me well' reveal a yearning for a healthier, more nurturing relationship. However, the acknowledgment that 'I cannot give you all' highlights the limitations and barriers that prevent this ideal from being realized. The song ultimately portrays a poignant struggle between holding onto a toxic love and the hope for something better, encapsulating the bittersweet nature of human relationships.
