Marianne Engebretsen – Someone to hold on to

Marianne Engebretsen menghadirkan “Someone to Hold On To” dengan energi yang hangat, tetapi tetap menyisakan kegelisahan di baliknya.

Ketukan yang ramah dan vokal yang halus membuat lagu ini terasa nyaman sejak awal, sementara liriknya justru bercerita tentang seseorang yang ingin dekat, tetapi masih sibuk berhadapan dengan rasa takutnya sendiri.

Ada kontras menarik antara musik dan ceritanya. Beat yang mengajak bergerak terasa ringan dan cerah, sementara kalimat seperti “Cause every time I’m getting closer, My anxiety comes all over me” menunjukkan bahwa semakin dekat seseorang, semakin ramai juga isi kepalanya. Ada rasa ragu, luka lama, dan keinginan untuk tetap mencoba.

Dinamikanya yang nyaman membantu perasaan itu tetap terasa hangat, bukan malah menjadi terlalu berat.

Single ini ada pada keberaniannya mengakui bahwa membuka diri memang bisa bikin takut. Musiknya enak diajak jalan, vokalnya lembut, tetapi emosinya tetap punya sedikit kegelisahan yang membuatnya terasa manusiawi.

Lirik Lagu Marianne Engebretsen – Someone to hold on to

I’m a grown-up woman
But I should’ve dealt with wounds
Instead I keep chasing my reasons
You say I’m too obsessive
That I’ve become regressive
And I should change what I believe

You were all that I was not
You had something that I want
I don’t know, it’s a feeling that I got
Cause every time I’m getting closer
My anxiety comes all over me
I know it sounds like a cliché

If I ever get back to the starting point
Would you give me a second chance?
Will I ever get back to the point where I
Really feel that I’m what you want?

We drove the ‘44 when
You told me straight out that I’m
Someone you would like to be with
And when we hit the red light
I know you hoped that I would fight
For once, my way of thinking

You were all that I was not
You had something that I want
I don’t know, it’s a feeling that I got
Cause every time I’m getting closer
My anxiety comes all over me
I know it sounds like a cliché

If I ever get back to the starting point
Would you give me a second chance?
Will I ever get back to the point where I
Really feel that I’m what you want?

I just wanna be someone that you love
Someone that you touch, someone to hold on to
I just wanna be someone that you need
Someone that you want, someone to hold on to

I’m a grown-up woman
And I should’ve dealt with wounds,
Instead, I keep chasing my reasons
I know it sounds obsessive
I hope I won’t regret this
What if I were to let you in?
