RaisedInTheDark - Can't Hold On | Alternative Metal, Progressive Metal 2026

🔥 RaisedInTheDark - Can’t Hold On | New Alternative Metal, Progressive Metal 2026 🔥

Dive deep into the raw emotion of “I Can’t Hold On” – a heavy, introspective alternative metal and progressive metal track that captures the crushing weight of inner turmoil, isolation, and mental struggle.

This song channels the angst and energy of early 2000s nu-metal while pushing into modern progressive territory. If you love Linkin Park, Bring Me The Horizon, Architects, or Bad Omens, this one hits hard.

“Can’t Hold On” is about fighting the noise in your head, feeling broken, and drowning in misery when there’s no way out. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt alone in the chaos.

Lyrics (written by RaisedInTheDark ✍️)

How do I shut out the noise in my head?
Do I fight it or just pretend I'm not dead?
Do I block out the shadows that follow me close
Or give in and let them take over the most?
Do I push through the storm or just fall apart?
Or run from the ghosts that tear up my heart?
Do I let people near and risk getting burned,
Or lock myself off 'cause I never learn?

All alone
I dig deeper, but I still figure out
I can't trust the mess screaming inside
I dig deeper, but I still figure out
I can't trust the mess screaming inside

I can't hold on
When everything's tearing me down inside
The weight crushes hard, no place to hide
I can't hold on
When the ground disappears under me
And I'm drowning in all this misery

If I look away, they stab me in the back
If I face it head-on, I lose what I lack
If I drop all my walls and let it all in
They'll suck me dry, leave me nothing within
If I ease up a bit, I fall way behind
But gripping too tight just fucks with my mind
If the questions keep eating me alive every day
I'll disappear slow, just waste away

All alone
I dig deeper, but I still figure out
I can't trust the mess screaming inside
I dig deeper, but I still figure out
I can't trust the mess screaming inside

I can't hold on
When everything's tearing me down inside
The weight crushes hard, no place to hide
I can't hold on
When the ground disappears under me
And I'm drowning in all this misery

Why do I feel like I'm already broken?
I'm scared shitless, can't trust anyone spoken
How can you tell me to find my own way
When your bullshit rules keep me stuck every day?

Can't you
I don't know how to stop this
No matter how hard I try, it's the same
I can't fix the cracks running through me
I'm frozen and lost completely
Can't you
I don't know how to stop this
No matter how hard I try, it's the same
I can't fix the cracks running through me
I'm frozen and lost completely

I can't hold on
When everything's tearing me down inside
The weight crushes hard, no place to hide
I can't hold on
When the ground disappears under me
And I'm drowning in all this misery
I can't hold on
When everything's tearing me down inside
The weight crushes hard, no place to hide
I can't hold on
I'm gone...
