šCan anyone help me with the meaning of this lyrics from Long Live by Taylor Swift?
**Hold on to spinning around**
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall
and im having trouble understanding the first line. Is it āhold on (to this moment where) we spin around, (cause if you dont hold on to it, youāll lose this moment cause time flies)ā? Or is it āhold on, in order to keep spinning around like how weāre right now?ā
I know there could be many translations to the lyrics, but I just wondered how that line would sound like to most nativesā ears. And my question is about the literal meaning of the line itself, not the hidden meaning, cause it seems grammatically wrong and thatās why itās hard to understand.
(I read online that first line also is a reference to her unreleased song, āspinning aroundā, if it helps.)
Thank you in advance!

I think I would understand it more as the second meaning, but I think it contains both meanings.

I think it means that you should never stop being a child. Children spin on a meri-go round. They throw confetti. Never loose the innocence of being a child.
