If you look at the lyrics and come back to the video it would all make sense. All the people she’s sitting on are her past relationships that tried to hold onto her and if you look closer the one with longer outstretched arms held on too long. It’s even more creepy to interpret that those stacks of bodies are dead because the relationship is over. This song is beautiful, the lyrics are amazing and the video is a masterpiece.
Love this song, and the melody and beat of it. Love when Steve comes in and out with his "skin tight".....and then withe Ravyn's sultry, airy voice and vocals......just such an amazing song. Haven't quite picked up all the words, but the vibe is beautiful.
@@LG-universe same here from Richmond Va. I rarely listen to the radio, but I do love turning on the car and hearing a new random banger to add to the playlist lol
Same. It was 2 am leaving my boyfriend house. We were playing video games all night. It came on 107.3 jamz. I had to ask Google the name of this song. This video popped up. Been hooked since.❤❤❤
So no one is going to address these lyrics? The overall message of this song is heavy yet comforting. Beautifully executed!!! Currently in a situation just like this.
She saying that even though the relationship may not work out I'll still be your friend just so that I can still have you in my life but until then just hold me while we still have time
@@rohsei my take on it was that she’ll always have this special connection with this person but they both know it’ll never work out like they hoped it would. She’s aware that it’ll come to an end for good one day so she wants to cherish their last romantic moments before they let each other go.
It's been stuck in my head ever since I heard it, very catchy song, she has such a soft smooth voice, a beautiful song to relax and go to sleep to, her voice kinda mind me of Janet Jackson, Amel Larrieux and maybe a little bit of Aaliyah!!
I usually repeat songs 😂 I really like or love but right now this joint is on another level, I just can't get enough of it, I knew nothing about Ravyn Lenae, until this Greatness!! 💯🔥
I was in hospital with my daughter , only 20% chance of living …the words” hold me while you can “ mean so much and her voice makes me realise how lucky I am to still have her …
She's sitting on top of all of the souls that's inside of her body. This is one reason why people are so confused with love. And they don't understand real love anymore. Just, temporary situationships...
I appreciate the creativity and storytelling in this video... something about it is entrancing, which i think is intended. But Ive watched about 5 times (in slow mo too) trying to figure out the storyline and symbolism. This is art.
I think the message of the song coincides with the visuals of the video. She's straight up telling you to appreciate the time that you have with her (hold me while you can) because in a world full of wannabes (the pile of lifeless dolls) she's the real thing. She understands that she's different, that's why throughout the entire video she's the only one that has movement, color and any sign of personality. She knows that she's above average and is "that b!tch", so you better appreciate it and cherish it 'while you can' because she doesn't need you. She'll keep it moving without you. She's toxic and she knows it... (You'll come back again)
Lyrics: Hope you understand we won't go as fast Hold me while you can, hold me while you can I'll still be your friend, you come back again Hold me while you can, hold me while you can [Steve Lacy] I'm now skin tight Are you out, come back Cutie pie, all mine Attitude, my type {Ravyn} Who could've thought? It's not black or white Now every time that I took you back If I called would you spend the night? Can't be myself if I'm not that nice [Chorus: Ravyn Lenae] Hope you understand we won't go as planned Hold me while you can, hold me while you can I'll still be your friend, you come back again Hold me while you can, hold me while you can [Verse 2: Ravyn Lenae] Put your feelings aside (Feelings aside) Boy, make the drive, you told me, just ask 'Cause you know how I like it Swallow your pride, won't cover my tracks I care for you, no one else, baby (No one else, baby) You deserve someone new If I can't call you, I won't shake it Even though you should leave me for good [Chorus: Ravyn Lenae] Hope you understand we won't go as planned Hold me while you can, hold me while you can I'll still be your friend, you come back again Hold me while you can, hold me while you can [Outro: Steve Lacy & Ravyn Lenae] Skin tight (Ah, come back again) Are you out? Come back (You'll come back again) Skin tight (Ah, come back again) Are you out? Come back (You'll come back again)
1) is this the visual conception of his virtual reality 2) love u ravyn lenae what a talented artist :)conveying such lightness , weightlessness, seamless indulgence to the present through your beautiful voice and melodies :) (+ with incredible stevelacy!)
Not sure what’s happening, but it definitely feels like I’m falling in Love with something that won’t love me back!!! This Song is the culprit… Wow its A cold piece of Work!!!
I just discovered this song on the radio after lunch today with my grandmother. I can say it's love at first sight. What a beautiful song. Surprised to see that Steve Lacy is on the track. Brilliant. On repeat. Edit: This is a nostalgic, late 90s/early 00s visual. Soul stirrinh. Beautiful tune.

I'm so glad she kept the sound from the Crush EP cause it was too good
Is anyone else confused by the video but pleasantly hypnotized by her vocals all at the same time?
Yes me too

All the people she’s sitting on are her past relationships that tried to hold onto her and if you look closer the one with longer outstretched arms held on too long. It’s even more creepy to interpret that those stacks of bodies are dead because the relationship is over. This song is beautiful, the lyrics are amazing and the video is a masterpiece.
Agreed even though the explanation is there all the visuals are odd and graphic. Not to mention the song is audibly pleasing
Me
Wow, thank you for that explanation. @@TraeBeatsLHP
When the world needed her most, Ravyn returned! 😌
Just saw ur post on her, thx for introducing me
This song got a 70s ,90s and early 2000s feel all in one !
Literally and some the back vocals give modern
@@willwowxdrice642 yes definitely
Wow! I see somebody has the voice of Minnie Riperton and Janet Jackson mixed together. Nice.
Totally agree 💯🔥 it does have all of that in the song, maybe a little 80s in it to!!
Love the song but ain't nobody gonna address this strange video with All mannequins
I’m hypnotized by her voice. It gives an old school, Minnie Riperton vibe
Been trying to find this song for like 2 years n finally found it
I’m genuinely obsessed with this song. The production from Steve lacy. The unusual time signatures. The beautiful, airy vocals from rayvn. MASTERPIECE

The production on this goes crazy, Steve Lacy definitely performed on this one
…production is insane 😮💨🥲❤️🔥.
💯🔥

yes! what’s your interpretation of the overall message?
She saying that even though the relationship may not work out I'll still be your friend just so that I can still have you in my life but until then just hold me while we still have time
@@danjuandavis6180 Currently in a situation like this
Yesss ! And I can’t stop listening. Found this song at randomly
@@rohsei my take on it was that she’ll always have this special connection with this person but they both know it’ll never work out like they hoped it would. She’s aware that it’ll come to an end for good one day so she wants to cherish their last romantic moments before they let each other go.
The way I have this song on repeat should be illegal 😭😭😭
It’s so good 🤣
Frl it’s so good I can’t stop listening😭😭😭🙏🏾

Same 🤦🏾♀️
So it’s not just me 🫠😂
a year later and i still can't get over this golden jam!!
Coming back with such elegant vocals!
@Look in the mirror 🪞 hater
Ravyn Lenae and Steve Lacy are just the best duo ever.
Ps: the animations are giving me very much life is strange and I’m here for it.
Look up Cool 3D World for similar animation vibe!
Same here!!
Steve Lacy is one hell of a producer.
2 words…STRAIGHT FIRE 🔥.
I seriously don't remember the last time I've had a song on repeat for this long. One of the best tracks I've heard past 5 years

I usually repeat songs 😂 I really like or love but right now this joint is on another level, I just can't get enough of it, I knew nothing about Ravyn Lenae, until this Greatness!! 💯🔥

I love this song sounds like an old 70’s R&B mixed with new R&B elements.
Ravyn entering her Sims Era! 🥰
I've been waiting so long for new music, can't wait to see what she does next. Especially if it has to do with Steve Lacy
She sounds like an angel from heaven........
this song is so pretty.
SHES BACK?!?! YESSS
It's giving 90s Janet Jackson 🙌🏽👌🏽🔥
I love when I “get” a song as soon as I hear it. Ravyn is so talented
I’m geeked! I still play her LP with Steve Lacy😌
Capricorns check in ♑🔥💯... This song has me in a chokehold 🥰🥰🥰
Okay!!!! And I’m def a Cap. Chokehold has been activated. I want to become the song, like how do I get inside of it.
❤❤❤❤
One of my favorite songs ever 🥺
She's sitting on top of all of the souls that's inside of her body. This is one reason why people are so confused with love. And they don't understand real love anymore. Just, temporary situationships...
This is a perfect song…literally flawless

Ravyn Lenae + Steve Lacy blend well together musically, their chemistry>
I love them. A joint album would bang.
My father passed away in January my mother say this song reminds her of him 😢
MY PRAYERS 🙏 HAVE BEEN ANSWERED
I just assumed this was one of those songs that had 100M views. Honestly be grateful it doesn’t. This is art
This song has that old school 70's style..❤❤❤
I saw her live in Brooklyn in 2022, heard this song and have not been able to stop listening to it. Somebody help me!
This isn't being played enough. It's a VIBE. 🔁 🔁 🔁
This song lives rent free in my soul 📍
We had the hairstyle , earrings and everything and Everything this song was to us 🥰😍70'and 80' babies.♊💎.Thank you loked for this song for 40 yrs ..
I appreciate the creativity and storytelling in this video... something about it is entrancing, which i think is intended. But Ive watched about 5 times (in slow mo too) trying to figure out the storyline and symbolism. This is art.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a mv like it, it’s beautiful!
The golden pomegranate is the forbidden fruit. The song is about the gray area between friends and lovers, so that tracks.
Great video!! 👏 💯🔥
This the song you play on Sundays when you cleaning🧹🧽🪣
her and Steve Lacy are a match made in Heaven.
blew my mind! recognized the melody at 1:07 from a random monte stream, the beat just had luke on drums with ravyn humming the melody 🤯
The radio bought me here ...I heard this on the radio ...definitely a janet vibe
1:08 and 2:14 the way she’s giving us 2 different bridges with different voice tones is insaneee
Masterpiece, diamond in the rough.
This sent me into an ethereal wonderland. SHE'S BACKKK
Yesss same here
Wait, I’ve been listening to this everyday for a year!! Still feels like it just came out
she always comes back harder than ever :,)
I think the message of the song coincides with the visuals of the video. She's straight up telling you to appreciate the time that you have with her (hold me while you can) because in a world full of wannabes (the pile of lifeless dolls) she's the real thing.
She understands that she's different, that's why throughout the entire video she's the only one that has movement, color and any sign of personality.
She knows that she's above average and is "that b!tch", so you better appreciate it and cherish it 'while you can' because she doesn't need you. She'll keep it moving without you.
She's toxic and she knows it... (You'll come back again)
That’s the same vibe I got as well!
Love it..
Facts 💯
Amazing view!
this make no sense man
Lyrics:
Hope you understand
we won't go as fast
Hold me while you can,
hold me while you can
I'll still be your friend,
you come back again
Hold me while you can,
hold me while you can
[Steve Lacy]
I'm now skin tight
Are you out, come back
Cutie pie, all mine
Attitude, my type
{Ravyn}
Who could've thought? It's not black or white
Now every time that I took you back
If I called would you spend the night?
Can't be myself if I'm not that nice
[Chorus: Ravyn Lenae]
Hope you understand
we won't go as planned
Hold me while you can,
hold me while you can
I'll still be your friend,
you come back again
Hold me while you can,
hold me while you can
[Verse 2: Ravyn Lenae]
Put your feelings aside (Feelings aside)
Boy, make the drive,
you told me, just ask
'Cause you know how I like it
Swallow your pride,
won't cover my tracks
I care for you, no one else, baby
(No one else, baby)
You deserve someone new
If I can't call you, I won't shake it
Even though you should leave me for good
[Chorus: Ravyn Lenae]
Hope you understand
we won't go as planned
Hold me while you can,
hold me while you can
I'll still be your friend,
you come back again
Hold me while you can,
hold me while you can
[Outro: Steve Lacy & Ravyn Lenae]
Skin tight (Ah, come back again)
Are you out? Come back (You'll come back again)
Skin tight (Ah, come back again)
Are you out? Come back (You'll come back again)
💪🏾❤️🔥💪🏾

I just discovered this song on the radio after lunch today with my grandmother. I can say it's love at first sight. What a beautiful song. Surprised to see that Steve Lacy is on the track. Brilliant. On repeat.
Edit: This is a nostalgic, late 90s/early 00s visual. Soul stirrinh.
Beautiful tune.
I just discovered this chick on the radio. I had to look her up. This is so DOPE!
I hope she makes a new album been a long time since we have heard
