“Hold On” is the second single and the fifth track off Tilian’s solo album The Skeptic. It was released with a music video directed by Shawn Butcher.
The song’s about showing and accepting your vulnerability with someone you care about and telling them to do the same in return.
[Verse 1]
Hold on to me now, you're not invincible
If you let your guard down, I'm not gonna let you fall
Hold on to me now, I'm not invincible
Drowning in self-doubt, can you pull my demons out?
[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
Hold on to me now, you're not invincible

[Outro]
Hold on to me now, you're not invincible
I'll carry you somehow, the weight of you makes me strong
