Signs 22  (English translation)

That wasn’t even funny, no way
Abe-surd-nomics, fabricated ceremony
Disgusting
Nonstop majority paradise
Diversity, you say?
You don’t actually see it, you don’t want to see

We stand at the PM’s residence with signs in our hands
We don’t shut up, won’t shut up
We will make noise, we don’t know our place

Unable to change, this big country, watch people suffer
Help the strong and hurt the weak
Only wasteland remains here

Holding our signs, sitting in at the capital
We don’t shut up, won’t shut up
On each channel
We won’t shut up, won’t shut up
Untucked our shirts, wear no ties

　　　　　　　Translation by Yuko Weiner

Signs 22

笑えない、ありえない事態だ
虚言ノミクス、虚構の儀式
気持ち悪すぎる
とめどないマジョリティ天国
多様性とか口じゃ言うけど
見ない、見たくない

プラカード掲げて官邸前に立とう
僕らは黙らない、黙らない
声に出してわきまえはしない

変われない見殺し大国
強き助けて弱きを挫く
荒地だけ残る

プラカード掲げて議事堂前に座る
僕らは黙らない、黙らない
それぞれのチャンネルで
黙らない、黙らない
シャツは出してネクタイもしない

deeply

A pale light in the night
The peace I feel inside
I take a deep breath and exhale it slowly
The mood is feeling right
The healing I provide
I am the master of the one and only

A pale light in the night
The peace I feel inside
I take a deep breath and exhale it slowly
The mood is feeling right
The healing I provide
I am the master of the one and only

All is mind
I don't mind
I've been lost in paradise
All is one
Here and now
I found the truth in being

All is mind
I don't mind
I've been lost in paradise
All is one
Here and now
I found the truth in being

I found the truth in being
I found the truth in being
I found the truth in being

A pale light in the night
The peace I feel inside
I take a deep breath and exhale it slowly
The mood is feeling right
The healing I provide
I am the master of the one and only

All is mind
I don't mind
I've been lost in paradise
All is one
Here and now
I found the truth in being

All is mind
I don't mind
I've been lost in paradise
All is one
Here and now
I found the truth in being

I found the truth in being
I found the truth in being

All is mind
I don't mind
I've been lost in paradise
All is one
Here and now
I found the truth in being

All is mind
I don't mind
I've been lost in paradise
All is one
Here and now
I found the truth in being

Gut Me!

“Hold On” by Saints No More is a confessional anthem that dives into brokenness, regret, and the saving grace of love that refuses to let go. It’s brutally honest yet uplifting—a song that admits flaws while recognizing the light that keeps the darkness from consuming everything.

The verses spill raw vulnerability, admitting failures and mistakes made in the name of love. The pre-chorus wrestles with self-awareness, walking the line between collapse and survival. The chorus delivers the heart of the song: “You’re the best part of the worst of me, the whisper that silences my scream.” It’s both an apology and a celebration of the one anchor that holds everything together.

A rap-driven bridge over bass and drums adds urgency, laying bare the struggle of falling apart while still being held. By the outro, the anthem grows into a storm of resilience—mistakes acknowledged, scars accepted, but hope alive because of the bond that remains.

Musically, “Hold On” fuses emotional rock power with modern edge, weaving melody and grit into a cathartic anthem. It’s the sound of survival, confession, and redemption wrapped in one.
