I hold it in
Your holding out
I’m holding up
But I don’t know how

You hold me under
I hold my breath 
I’m holding on
By a single thread

You hold me down
hold me down
You hold, hold, hold me down

No holding back
No holds barred
You look down on me
With your head held high

I hold my tongue
And swallow my pride
You hold all the cards
And you still want mine

Don’t hold me down
Don’t hold me down
Don’t hold, hold, hold me down

Block up the windows
Lock up the doors
Black out the lights
Block out all the noise

Lock down the borders
Lock out the press
Lock up the children
That wash up on our shores

You won’t hold me 
You won’t hold me 
You won’t hold me down
You won’t hold me down
You won’t hold me down
You won’t hold me down
You won’t hold me down
You won’t hold me down
You won’t hold me down
You won’t hold me down

Hold me down

A UN AMIGO

Recuerdo octubre y aquella noche:
íbamos despacio y pensativos;
cuando el sol rayase el horizonte
tomaríamos rumbos distintos.

Eran ya varios los años
que compartíamos juntos
la tristeza en los fracasos
la alegría de los triunfos;
éramos ya como hermanos
sin secretos ni tapujos:
tus problemas eran de ambos
y los míos también tuyos.

Estribillo

Querido amigo Miguel
aunque tú no lo creas
eres la panacea
que cura mis heridas
de sonrisas fingidas
que veo en torno a mi ser.

Querido amigo Miguel
siempre estás a mi diestra
siendo llave maestra
de esa puerta que, a veces,
cierra tras sí mi suerte
y me hace desfallecer.

-------------

Recuerdo octubre y una mañana:
adoptó color de despedida
como si nuestros ojos plasmaran,
en el paisaje, lo que sentían.

Se iba ya un gran amigo
de los que no te abandonan
a pesar de que el destino
muchas veces no perdona;
de aquellos con ese sino
que convierte a la persona
en escudo ante el peligro
que al acecho está en las sombras.

Estribillo

TO A FRIEND

I remember October and that night:
we were going slowly and thoughtfully;
when the sun reached the horizon
we would take different paths.

It had been several years
that we shared together
the sadness of failures
the joy of triumphs;
we were already like brothers
without secrets or cover-ups:
your problems were both of ours
and mine were also yours.

Chorus

Dear friend Miguel
even if you don't believe it
you are the panacea
that heals my wounds
of fake smiles
that I see around my being.

Dear friend Miguel
you are always at my right hand
being the master key
to that door that, sometimes,
closes my luck behind it
and makes me faint.

-------------

I remember October and a morning:
it took on the color of farewell
as if our eyes captured,
in the landscape, what they felt.

A great friend was leaving
one of those who do not abandon you
even though fate
often does not forgive;
one of those with that fate
that turns a person
into a shield against the danger
that lurks in the shadows.

Chorus

Full lyrics below this line!

It's just another boring day where usual is the same was feeling things in different ways was feeling things can't start again.
As i was fighting black from blue as skies turn grey and rain drops fall onto my face and brightens up my day.
now it's just another day now it all feels the same and now it's just another day and it feels the same but i see your face,
Now it's just another day where it all fades away and it's just another day where I am in my darkest ways again.

You too me you are my number one you are the sun.
you to me your my number one you are the summer sun

I was fighting black for blue as skies turn grey.
It's just another usual day you send me on my way.
It's just another usual day you send me on my way it brightens up my day i can't help but feel this way,
As I was fighting black for blue I was thinking of you grey skies fade away smiles upon my dace,
Now it's just another day where it all feels the same now it's just another day where it fades away now it's just another day where you brighten up my day always,
Now it's just another day where you brighten up day always,

You too me your my number one you are the warm sun,
You to me your my number one you are the shinning sun.
now it's just another day where you brighten up my day just another day your smile brightens up my day living the dream.. live the dream
you to me your my number one you are the summer sun,
Just another way where you brighten up my day through the darkest ways where you brighten up my day you are my number one summer sun number one.
