Red Hill Mining Town
From father to son
The blood runs thin
See faces frozen still
Against the wind
The seam is split
The coal face cracked
The lines are long
There's no going back
Through hands of steel
And heart of stone
Our labor day
Has come and gone
Yeah you leave me holding on
In Red Hill town
See lights go down, I'm
Hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
The glass is cut
The bottle run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
We're wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
You I can't live without
Yeah you keep me holding on
In Red Hill town
See the lights go down on
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
Hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to, on to
We'll scorch the earth
Set fire to the sky
We stoop so low, to reach so high
A link is lost
The chain undone
We wait all day
For night to come
And it comes
Like a hunter child
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
Love, slowly stripped away
Love, has seen its better day
Hanging on
The lights go out on Red Hill
The lights go down on Red Hill
Lights go down on Red Hill town
The lights go down on Red Hill
Significado de la letra
'From father to son, the bloodline weakens, with stoic faces frozen in time against the unforgiving wind. In the heart of the mining town, where seams are split and coal faces cracked, the struggle is evident, the sacrifices irreversible. Hands calloused from labor, hearts hardened with determination, the echoes of a bygone labor day linger in the cold air.
In the midst of Red Hill town, as the lights dim and shadows fall, there's a gripping sense of holding on. A poignant plea for connection, for something to cling to amidst the desolation. With glass shattered and love turned frigid, amid the darkness of night, fears and doubts wound deep. Yet, in the chaos, amidst the loss and uncertainty, there's a tether that remains unbroken, a presence that defies all odds.
With a raw intensity, the yearning to hold on tight permeates every verse. The longing for that one anchor in the tumultuous sea of existence. As the day wanes and shadows lengthen, there's a primal necessity to grasp onto what remains, to endure until the dawn breaks once more.
In the face of adversity, there's a willingness to scorch the earth and set ablaze the sky, a metaphorical descent to rise higher than before. The cycle of loss and renewal, of waiting for the darkness to give way to the light, unfolds like a timeless ritual. And in this dance of shadows and light, of holding on and letting go, there's a profound truth - love, though worn and weathered, remains the enduring constant.
As the lights flicker and fade over Red Hill town, there's a bittersweet acknowledgment of love's gradual erosion, of its faded glory. Yet, in the quiet resignation of the closing chapter, there's a resilience, a stubborn hope that continues to hold on, against all odds. The lights may dim, the night may deepen, but within the echoes of Red Hill, there lingers a flicker of untarnished devotion, a beacon in the encroaching darkness.'
