father, hold me Lyrics

[Intro: Julia Alexa & Scrim]
I hate you
(Lonely boy)
For what you did (Ooh)
But I can’t get you out of my brain (Ooh), I go insane (Ooh)
(You did good, $lick)
(Yeah)
I hate you
Here, I do (It’s a Smash)
Ohh, I hate you
Ohh-ohh-ohh
(Ooh)
Here, I do
(Yeah)

[Verse 1: Scrim & Julia Alexa]
Falling slowly (Ooh), no coming back this time (Ooh)
Father, hold me, it might be our last goodbye
I smile, you cry (Ooh)
Hopefully where I’m going I’ll be fine
You smile, I cry (Ooh)
Where do memories go when we die?

[Bridge: Julia Alexa & Scrim]
I hate you, for all that you did
Where do memories go when we die?
[?] what a shame
Yeah, where do memories go when we die?

[Verse 2: Scrim]
Would it be the same?
Would you know my name?
Are my tears allowed if I see your face?
And if I’m turned around, would you still be proud?
Can the angels cry behind the gates?

[Verse 3: Scrim & Julia Alexa]
Tell me stories, was he everything I heard about? (Ooh)
Forever worried (Ooh), even in his grave he’s burdened down
Father told me (Ooh): “You ain’t gotta worry, I got you now” (Ooh)
But time kills slowly (Ooh), everybody dies by word of mouth

[Outro: Julia Alexa & Scrim]
Angel, [?]
Yeah, where do memories go when we die? (Ooh)
Yeah, hopefully where I’m going I’ll be fine (Ooh)
You smile, I cry
Where do memories go?

father, hold me Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Julia Alexa & Scrim]
The intro sets a tone of emotional conflict and heartbreak. Julia Alexa’s expression of hate is layered with anguish, suggesting betrayal or abandonment, while Scrim’s production tag and “Lonely boy” hint at his inner isolation. The repetition of “I hate you” reflects unresolved feelings, possibly directed at a father figure or someone close, which contrasts with the pain of still holding on. The melodic tension builds an emotional atmosphere that carries throughout the track.

[Verse 1: Scrim & Julia Alexa]
Scrim opens with a quiet admission of emotional descent, acknowledging there’s no return from the pain he’s enduring. The line “Father, hold me” becomes both a literal and metaphorical plea—for comfort, salvation, or forgiveness. He contrasts visible expressions of emotion—smiling and crying—to show the dissonance between internal struggle and external expression. The question, “Where do memories go when we die?” encapsulates the song’s existential core, searching for meaning in life’s most painful moments.

[Bridge: Julia Alexa & Scrim]
The bridge continues the theme of betrayal and confusion. Julia Alexa reiterates her emotional pain, while the recurring question about memories after death reflects a sense of spiritual disorientation. The incomplete line “[?] what a shame” further emphasizes a loss for words in the face of overwhelming grief. It feels like an attempt to piece together what was lost but never fully understood.

[Verse 2: Scrim]
Here, Scrim imagines a post-mortem reunion with someone significant, possibly his father. He questions whether identity and emotion persist beyond death and whether he would still be recognized or accepted. The uncertainty about “tears being allowed” suggests lingering emotional repression or shame. The line about angels crying challenges traditional images of heaven, questioning if sorrow exists even in divine places, reinforcing his feelings of unresolved grief.

[Verse 3: Scrim & Julia Alexa]
This verse dives into memory, legacy, and the burden of inherited pain. Scrim longs to know the truth about someone from stories told, possibly his father, while also acknowledging that death doesn’t necessarily bring peace. The idea of “dying by word of mouth” points to how reputations and pain live on through stories, rumors, or memories. Julia Alexa’s vocals mirror the sorrow and weight of time, emphasizing the slow, cruel nature of emotional deterioration.

[Outro: Julia Alexa & Scrim]
The outro returns to the central question—“Where do memories go when we die?”—serving as both a literal and emotional inquiry. Julia Alexa’s soft tones and Scrim’s repeated lines evoke a fading sense of hope, as he wonders whether peace lies ahead or if pain simply lingers. The inversion of emotions—smiles hiding sorrow and vice versa—closes the song in a state of quiet turmoil and aching reflection.
