Discover the story of the song > Hold Back The Day – DevilDriver

The lyrics are about the protagonist feeling lost and forgotten, and encouraging them to take control of their own life. They suggest that the protagonist should not trust those who claim to own or disown them but should instead rely on themselves and their own instincts. The chorus repeats the idea that there is still a long journey ahead, but they must persevere and hold on until they reach the dawn.
