🔻 Song Insight
“Holding Off Tomorrow” dives deep into the ache of emotional aftermath—the war zone that love sometimes leaves behind. The song’s core is about carrying someone else’s weight, trying to rise together but landing in hell, and finally realizing that some wounds only open wider when you refuse to let go. With raw lyrics and grunge-laced alt rock energy, this track paints the stormy process of breaking free from patterns that hurt, and the reluctant hope of surviving another day.

🔻 Lyrics
Verse 1:  
Just another project of regret  
It's your shit you hang on me  
I'm not your bitch, don't forget  
Yeah, we spun up to heaven  
But we landed in hell

Pre-Chorus:  
Set sail on broken parts  
Every fiber of my heart  
Thought this could be whole  
It was, a whole new level of hell, with you

Chorus:  
We fought the war on love  
You’re stuck in a past, lost blood  
Trifling things you can't change  
It's raining down sorrow  
holding off tomorrow  
But when the day start to end  
In hell it all begins  
In hell it all begins

Bridge:  
Burned-out hopes in a flood of blame  
I’m done playing this losing game  
No light left, just this pain  
We circle the drain, circle the drain

Chorus:  
(repeat)


🔻 Personal Reflection
Sometimes, the only way out of hell is to name it. “Holding Off Tomorrow” is about what it feels like to carry someone else’s pain and finally admit that it’s breaking you down. This track was written in the shadow of endings—holding on too long, blaming myself, until it became clear that some love stories are really just lessons. It’s a confession, a letting go, and a survival anthem rolled into one.

🔻 4Me2BeFree

Real pain, real release, real music.

📝 Lyrics:

Lay down your head on my shoulder
lay down with me
take another second just to breathe you in
Cos I've got you
I've got you

Time is my enemy forever letting you go
time is my nemesis, how do we go slow

If I've got you
I've got you

Shall we kiss once more
one for the road
lay all the sheets on the floor and just
sleep until dawn

Time is my nemesis forever letting you go
time is my enemy how do we go slow?

I've got you
I've got you
