Don't Let Go
¤ The Rasmus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holding my breath as I walk to your garden
Everything seemed so abandoned
Roses have gone just as high as the mountains
Fireflies glow in the dark
Don't let go now (don't let go)
Somebody is lying
Everyone came to the final revival
Its been a year since we've been here
Spell has been cast to welcome the arrival
Finally silence is near
Don't let go now (don't let go)
The garden is dying
These wounds won't heal (don't let go)
Somebody is lying
Break the spell of emptiness
And thousand year of loneliness
Bless the path of righteousness
And walk the trails of holiness
The garden is dying
Somebody is lying
[Repeat x2]
Don't let go now (don't let go)
The garden is dying
These wounds won't heal (don't let go)
Somebody is lying
Ohhh oh oh ohhhhh
The garden is dying
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Somebody is lying
Ah ahahahaha
One of us is lying
Ah ah ah ah

Everyone is gathering for a final revival after a year of absence, and a spell has been cast to welcome their arrival. However, the garden is dying, and something is not right. The singer wishes to break the spell of emptiness and a thousand years of loneliness, bless the path of righteousness, and walk the trails of holiness.
