Hold Them Down Lyrics
[SUITORS]
Whoever can string the old king’s bow
And shoot through twelve axes cleanly
Will be the new king, sit down at the throne
Penelope as his queen
Where is he?
Where is the man who can string this bow? Oh-woah
[ANTINOUS]
Screw this competition, we’ve been here for hours
None of us can string this, we don’t have the power
Screw this damn challenge, no more delays
Can’t you guys see we’re being played?
This is how they
[ANTINOUS, SUITORS, ANTINOUS & SUITORS]
Hold us down while the throne gets colder
Hold us down while we slowly age
Hold us down while the boy gets bolder
Where in the hell is our pride and our rage?
Here and now, there’s a chance for action
Here and now, we can take control
Here and now, burn it down to ashes
Channel the fire inside your soul
[ANTINOUS]
Haven’t you noticed who’s missing?
Don’t you know the prince is not around?
I heard he’s on a diplomatic mission
And I heard today he comes back to town, so
I say, we gather near the beaches
I say, we wait ’til he arrives
Then, when he docks his ship, we can breach it
Let us leave now, today we can strike and
[ANTINOUS, SUITORS, ANTINOUS & SUITORS]
Hold him down ’til the boy stops shaking
Hold him down while I slit his throat
Hold him down while I slowly break his
Pride, his trust, his faith and his bones
Cut him down into tiny pieces
Throw him down in the great below
When the crown wonders where the prince is
Only the ocean and I will know
[ANTINOUS]
And when the deed is done
The queen will have no one
To stop us from breaking her bedroom door
Stop us from taking her love and more
[ANTINOUS, SUITORS, ANTINOUS & SUITORS]
And then we’ll
Hold her down while her gate is open
Hold her down while I get a taste
Hold her down while we share her spoils
I will not let any part go to waste
Here and now, there’s a chance for action (Chance for action)
Here and now, we can take control (Take control)
Here and now, burn it down to ashes
Channel the fire inside your soul and
Hold ’em down, hold ’em down (Hold ’em down, oh)
Hold ’em down, hold ’em down
Hold ’em down, hold ’em down (Hold ’em down)
Channel the fire inside your soul and—
(Hold ’em down, hold ’em down)
[ANTINOUS receives an arrow into his throat and dies]

Hold Them Down Lyrics Meaning
[SUITORS]

The song captures their impatience and desperation to find the man who can do it.
[ANTINOUS]
Antinous expresses his frustration with the competition. The suitors have been trying for hours and none of them have the strength to string the bow. He feels they are being toyed with and manipulated by the system, and he’s tired of the delays. Antinous sees the challenge as a trap that prevents them from taking action.
[ANTINOUS, SUITORS, ANTINOUS & SUITORS]

They rally themselves to burn everything down, tapping into their anger and frustration, determined to take what they feel is rightfully theirs. The chorus emphasizes their resolve to make a change now.
[ANTINOUS]
Antinous realizes the prince is missing and isn’t around to stop their plans. He hears that the prince is away on a mission, but he’s due to return soon.
