“Holes” was written by Alice Merton about music labels and how she did not let herself get changed by them and made it all on her own. Well not on her own, also with her fellow musicians she was supposed to break up with but didn’t, thanks to starting her own label Paper Plane Records.
The song is...
[Verse 1]
Swimming in the deep end
But I think he knows by now
Sunk, farther gone, watched him run
While the blood dried out
Waiting like the same kingship, ready to go down
Tell me how long I have
Tell me doctor, now
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wanna know, wanna know, wanna
I wanna know
[Chorus]
How many holes will it take? (Who hoo)
Will it take, to drown my soul, will it take? (Who hoo)
I wanna know how many holes will it take? (Who hoo)
Will it take, to drown my soul?
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I wanna know how many holes
I wanna know how many holes
[Verse 2]
Empty promises, had my share of their bullshit, now
Talking like they know things but they only know what's found
Waiting like the same kingship, ready to go down
Tell me has my time come, am I all run out?
[Pre-Chorus]
But I wanna know, wanna know, wanna
I wanna know
[Chorus]
How many holes will it take? (Who hoo)
Will it take, to drown my soul, will it take? (Who hoo)
I wanna know how many holes will it take? (Who hoo)
Will it take, to drown my soul?
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I wanna know how many holes
I wanna know how many holes
[Bridge]
I'm standing over the crowd, sharing my stories now
I'm standing over the crowd, sharing my stories now
[Pre-Chorus]
How many holes will it take?
To drown my soul, will it take?
I wanna know how many holes will it take?
Will it take, to drown my soul?
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanna know how many holes
I wanna know how many holes
How many holes will it take, will it take?
How many holes will it take?
