Oh Mary (I’m Still Holding On)
The new single by RUHMER from the upcoming EP Rolling on a Runway
About the Song
“Oh Mary (I’m Still Holding On)” is the first single from RUHMER’s upcoming EP Rolling on a Runway, released on February 27, 2026. Rooted in early-2000s alternative rock, the song carries a relentless sense of forward motion and emotional persistence.
The track explores the moment when giving up feels close – and the conscious decision to keep going anyway. It is a song about loss, about people who left too early, and about holding on to life when something essential is missing.
With its raw atmosphere and driving energy, “Oh Mary” reveals a darker side of RUHMER’s sound while staying true to the project’s blend of indie rock and soulful songwriting.
Lyrics
I’m dancing on a wire
On the wrong side of a gun
I keep aiming higher
But the nights keep dragging on
Death, my sweet desire
Life’s pushing me along
I’m trying to keep the fire
Mary, I’m still holding on
Oh Mary, I’m still holding on
Too late to die for anyone
Too soon, way too soon, you know
Oh Mary, I’m still holding on
Too late to die for anyone
Too soon, way too soon, you know
You know
Soon, I’ll reach the top
Or was it bottom up?
If it’s the end or the beginning,
Guess we can’t all be winning
I wanna keep it shut
And make a clean cut
Stay a longer while for
I’m aiming for the high score
I can’t see your face anymore
Cannot count the days you’ve been gone
Oh Mary, I’m still holding on
Too late to die for anyone
Too soon, way too soon, you know
Oh Mary, I’m still holding on
Too late to die for anyone
Too soon, way too soon, you know
You know
I’m still holding on
I’m still holding on
