Verse 1
No one knows why the day turns into night again
No one knows why the sun still shines
No one knows why the cold wind would still blow
But I know that I love you
No one knows why stars fall
No one knows why death follows us
No one knows why people sleep in the cold
But I know that I love you
Chorus 1
Hold me tight
Lay my head gently on your shoulder
Chorus 1
Hold me tight
Gently stroke through my hair
Chorus 1
Hold me tight
Sometimes it all becomes a bit too much
Chorus 1
And being with you
Is then all I want

No one knows why happiness sometimes blows away
No one knows why a flower wilts
No one knows why you are the only one I trust
But I know that I love you

Lay my head gently on your shoulder

Hold me tight
Gently stroke through my hair

Words fall short anyway
When I pour out my heart to you

Don't talk to me
Hold me tight

SONG MEANING

Hou Me Vast is a heartfelt Dutch pop ballad where Volumia! contrasts the grand mysteries of the universe with one very simple certainty: love. The singer lists life’s unanswerable questions—why the day turns to night, why the wind blows, why luck disappears—and answers each one with the same unwavering truth: “maar ik weet dat ik van je hou” (but I know that I love you). This playful tug-of-war between cosmic unknowns and personal conviction gives the song its warm, uplifting charm.

At its core, the track is a comforting plea for closeness. When the world feels overwhelming, the singer wants nothing more than to rest a head on a loved one’s shoulder, feel gentle fingers through their hair, and escape into a safe embrace. Words are unnecessary; the simple act of holding on says everything. Hou Me Vast reminds us that even when life’s biggest puzzles remain unsolved, the power of human connection can still bring instant peace and clarity.
