Let It Go
3rd Alley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone occupies my time
i need some rest and some relaxation
all this weight it gonna bust my spine
why does always rain on me when the sun shines
ain't it funny how the rat race goes
runnin around in circles,
so let's go, real slow, let's leave it all behind and let it go
real slow, let's leave it all behind and let it go
and all her letters
are self adressed
and my lonely record collection
holds, nothing but the best
don't wanna go to work no more
runnin' around in circles,
got no time for the ones i love
so let's go, real slow, let's leave it all behind and let it go
real slow, let's leave it all behind and let it go
real slow, real slow, real slow
real slow, real slow, real slow,
let's let it go ...
The lyrics of 3rd Alley's "Let It Go" speak to a common feeling of being overworked and overwhelmed. The opening lines convey a sense of being constantly occupied and in need of rest and relaxation. The weight of the singer's responsibilities is becoming too much to handle, leading to physical pain. The following line, "why does it always rain on me when the sun shines," suggests that even when things appear to be going well, there are still struggles and hardships to contend with.
The second verse introduces a romantic element to the song, with the mention of "her letters" and "my lonely record collection." These details paint a picture of a person who is seeking comfort and solace in small pleasures, while also feeling trapped in a cycle of work and stress. The line "don't wanna go to work no more" is a clear expression of the desire to break free from this cycle and find a different way of living. The song's chorus brings all these themes together, urging the listener to "leave it all behind" and embrace a slower, more relaxed pace of life.
Overall, "Let It Go" is a song about the struggle to balance work and personal life, and the desire to find a way out of the rat race. The lyrics are relatable and convey a sense of frustration and longing for something more. The song's melody is upbeat and catchy, but also has a wistful quality that matches the sentiment of the lyrics.
